Abstract

In this note we provide an alternative way of defining the self-adjoint Hamiltonian of the harmonic oscillator perturbed by an attractive δ′- interaction, of strength β, centred at 0 (the bottom of the confining parabolic potential), that was rigorously defined in a previous paper by means of a coupling constant renormalisation. Here we get the Hamiltonian as a norm resolvent limit of the harmonic oscillator Hamiltonian perturbed by a triple of attractive δ-interactions, thus extending the CheonShigehara approximation to the case in which a confining harmonic potential is present.
