contents We show that some non-Hermitian Hamiltonian operators with tridiagonal matrix representation may be quasi Hermitian or similar to Hermitian operators. In the class of Hamiltonian operators discussed here the transformation is given by a Hermitian, positive-definite, diagonal operator. We show that there is an important difference between open boundary conditions and periodic ones. We illustrate the theoretical results by means of two simple, widely used, models.

We show that some non-Hermitian Hamiltonian operators with tridiagonal matrix representation may be quasi Hermitian or similar to Hermitian operators. In the class of Hamiltonian operators discussed here the transformation is given by a Hermitian, positive-definite, diagonal operator. We show that there is an important difference between open boundary conditions and periodic ones. We illustrate the theoretical results by means of two simple, widely used, models.
