✦ Synopsis
Analytical exact expressions are obtained for matrix elements of the modified Poschl-Teller oscillator over different operators including powers of the hyperbolic functions sinh( a x ) , cosh(a x ) , and tanh( a x) and the differential operators d / d x and d 2 / d x 2 . These expressions are derived using explicitly the Poschl-Teller eigenfunctions. In addition, several recursion relations connecting different Poschl-Teller matrix elements are obtained using the factorization and hypervirial techniques. It is shown that these relations can be used to make easier the computation of the matrix elements.

We evaluate the matrix elements of an exponential potential between the elgenstates of the Morse oscillator using the algebraic approach developed by Berrondo and Palma. These matrix elements are compared to the harmonic oscillator ones for a wide range of values of the perturbation, as well as the
