摘要
We show that the complex PT-symmetric periodic potential V (x) = -( i xi sin 2x + N)(2), where xi is real and N is a positive integer, is quasi-exactly solvable. For odd values of N >= 3, it may lead to exceptional points depending upon the strength of the coupling parameter xi. The corresponding Schrodinger equation is also shown to go over to the Mathieu equation asymptotically. The limiting value of the exceptional points derived in our scheme is consistent with known branch-point singularities of the Mathieu equation.
