Description

The suitability of conformal transformation (CT) analysis, and the eigenvalue moment method (EMM), for determining the eigenenergies and eigenfunctions of a quantum particle confined within a lens geometry, is reviewed and compared to the recent results by Even and Loualiche (2003 J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 15 8465). It is shown that CT and EMM define two accurate and versatile analytical/computational methods relevant to lens shaped regions of varying geometrical aspect ratios.
