When can the solution to the Schrodinger equation be discontinuous?

jeudi 31 octobre 2013

If I have a solution to the time-dependent Schrodinger equation



[tex]

i \frac{\partial \psi(x,t)}{\partial t} = \left( -\frac 12 \Delta_x + V(x) \right) \psi(x,t)

[/tex]



and the potential is infinitely differentiable with compact support, then I know that [itex]\psi[/itex] has a continuous first derivative, right? In fact, doesn't the SECOND spatial derivative have to exist for this function, so that the first derivative also needs to be DIFFERENTIABLE? Or am I missing something?
