Exact analytical expressions and numerical analysis of two-center Franck–Condon factors and matrix elements over displaced harmonic oscillator wave functions

Abstract A detailed study is undertaken, using various techniques, in deriving analytical formula of Franck-Condon overlap integrals and matrix elements of various functions of power (x^l ), exponential (exp (- 2 c x)) and Gaussian (exp (- c x^2 )) over displaced harmonic oscillator wave functions with arbitrary frequencies. The results suggested by previous experience with various algorithms are presented in mathematically compact form and consist of generalization. The relationships obtained are val...
