  The problem of a spin-free electron with mass $m$, charge $e$ confined onto a
ring of radius $R_0$ and with an attractive Dirac delta potential with scaling
factor (depth) $\kappa$ in non-relativistic theory has closed form analytical
solutions. The single bound state function is of the form of a hyperbolic
cosine that however contains a parameter $d>0$ which is the single positive
real solution of the transcendental equation $\coth(d) = \lambda d$ for non
zero real $\lambda=\frac{2}{\pi\kappa}$. The energy eigenvalue of the bound
state $\varepsilon=-\frac{d^2}{2\pi^2}\approx \frac{q e m R_0}{2 \hbar^2}$. In
addition a discrete infinite set of unbounded solutions exists, formally they
are obtained from the terms for the bound solution by substituting $d \to i d $
yielding $\cot(d) = \lambda d$ as characteristic equation with the
corresponding set of solutions $d_k, k\in\mathbb{N}$, the respective state
functions obtain via $\cosh(x)\overset{x \to i x}{\longrightarrow}\cos(x)$ of
the form of cosine functions.
