Generalized Dunkl Quantum Systems with Energy-Dependent Interactions: Exact Solvability and Thermodynamic Properties

Abstract:This work investigates a class of exactly solvable quantum systems described by a generalized Dunkl--Schrödinger equation with energy-dependent interactions. A two-parameter extension of the Dunkl differential operator is introduced, incorporating both the conventional reflection contribution and an additional derivative-reflection coupling. The resulting formalism leads to a modified Heisenberg algebra, from which the continuity equation, conserved probability current, and generalized normalization condition are derived for energy-dependent potentials. As an application, an energy-dependent harmonic oscillator is studied in detail. Exact analytical expressions for the eigenfunctions and energy spectrum are obtained in terms of associated Laguerre polynomials. The combined effects of the Wigner parameter, the deformation parameter, and the energy-dependence parameter are shown to produce parity splitting, nonlinear energy spectra, and nonuniform level spacing while preserving exact solvability. The thermodynamic properties of the model are then examined through the canonical partition function using the Euler--Maclaurin summation formula. Analytical expressions for the partition function, internal energy, entropy, and specific heat are derived and analyzed numerically. The results demonstrate that the generalized Dunkl deformation and energy-dependent interaction provide effective control over both the spectral and thermal characteristics of the system, extending the class of exactly solvable quantum models with reflection symmetry.
