Generating Shape Invariant Potentials
International Journal of Modern Physics A

Abstract
We transform the shape invariance condition, a difference-differential equation of supersymmetric quantum mechanics, into a local partial differential equation. We develop a new method for generating translationally shape invariant potentials from this equation. We generate precisely all the known shape invariant potentials, and argue that there are unlikely to be others.
