The Klein–Gordon equation of generalized Hulthén potential in complex quantum mechanics

Abstract
We have investigated the reality of exact bound states of complex and/or PT-symmetric non-Hermitian exponential-type generalized Hulthén potential. The Klein–Gordon equation has been solved by using the Nikiforov–Uvarov method which is based on solving the second-order linear differential equations by reduction to a generalized equation of hypergeometric type. In many cases of interest, negative and positive energy states have been discussed for different types of complex potentials.
