Parameter-free ansatz for inferring ground state wave functions of even convex potentials

Sumario:Schrodinger's equation (SE) and the information-optimizing principle based on Fisher's information measure are intimately linked (Frieden et al 1999 Phys. Rev. E 60 48), which entails the existence of a Legendre transform structure underlying the SE (Flego et al 2011 J. Math. Phys. 52 082103). In this paper, we show that the existence of such a structure allows, via the virial theorem, for the formulation of a parameter-free ground state's SE ansatz for a rather large family of potentials. The parameter-free nature of the ansatz derives from the structural information it incorporates through its Legendre properties.
