Abstract

We investigate the parametric evolution of the real discrete spectrum of several complex PT symmetric scattering potentials of the type V(x)=-V1 Fe(x) + i V2 Fo(x), V1>0, Fe(x)>0 by varying V2 slowly. Here e,o stand for even and odd parity and Fe,o\(pm infty\)=0. Unlike the case of Scarf II potential, we find a general absence of the recently explored accidental (real to real) crossings of eigenvalues in these scattering potentials. On the other hand, we find a general presence of coalescing of real pairs of eigenvalues to the complex conjugate pairs at a finite number of exceptional points. We attribute such coalescings of eigenvalues to the presence of a finite barrier on the either side of $x=0$ which has been linked to a recent study of stokes phenomenon in the complex PT-symmetric potentials.
