Abstract
We show that by linking two factorization techniques often employed
to solve Schroedinger's equation one can give any one-dimensional hamiltonian
the same form in terms of quantities typical of these approaches.
These are the supersymmetric technique (SUSY) and the one of De La
Peña's. It is shown that the linkage between them exhibits interesting
peculiarities, that are illustrated in the case of a very important family of
quantum potentials, namely, reflection-less ones.
