For a bound state take $b>0$ and set $\psi (r)=e^{-br}v(r)$. Substitution into the radial equation and cancellation of the common exponential giveSeek a power series $v(r)={\sum }_{j\ge 0}{c}_j{r}^j$ with $c_0\ne 0$. Equating coefficients of $r^j$ yields the polynomial construction of hydrogen S states recurrenceFor any integer $N\ge 1$, choose $b=a/(2N)$. The numerator vanishes at $j=N-1$, while it is nonzero for $j<N-1$, so $v$ is a nonzero polynomial of degree $N-1$. Therefore $\psi$ is continuous at $r=0$ and decays exponentially as $r\to \infty$. The three-dimensional normalization integral isIt is finite near zero because $\psi$ is bounded, and finite at infinity because an exponential dominates every polynomial. Multiplying by its positive reciprocal square root gives a normalizable, nonzero wavefunction. The recurrence ensures the differential equation for $r>0$; at the singular endpoint the regular continuous extension has $2{\psi }^{\prime }(0)+a\psi (0)=0$, so the potentially singular coefficient cancels. No nonexistent value of $1/r$ at zero is substituted.

Since $E=-{\hslash }^2{b}^2/(2m)$, the choice of $b$ givesFor $N=1$, the normalized example is $\psi (r)=\sqrt{b^3/\pi }{e}^{-br}$. For $N=2$, $v(r)$ is proportional to $1-br$. These illustrate the polynomial-times-exponential Coulomb bound states produced for every required energy. The radial derivative at the origin is generally nonzero, a Coulomb cusp consistent with the requested continuity.
