An attempted application of the power-series method to the construction of bound states in the Woods-Saxon potential. Marred by many misprints (especially serious when equations are misquoted) and, what is worse, based on the wrong assumption (cf. the line following eq. (8)) that the power series in question must terminate. MR2732255 Janavicius, Arvydas Juozapas; Jurgaitis, Donatas Potential representation method for Woods-Saxon potential. Šiauliai Math.
