How to find the wavefunction that solves an infinite square well with a delta function well ...

If the delta potential is strong enough, there is also a solution possible for $E<0$. Define $\kappa^2 = 2m |E|/\hbar^2$ with $\kappa > 0$. … $$\psi(x)=C\sinh(\kappa x)$$ and for $L/2<x<L$ we have $$\psi(x)=-C\sinh(\kappa(x-L))$$ Now, applying the calculation for the discontinuity in the derivative of the wavefunction with a delta-function potential
