By means of a combination of the exact wave function solution for contact interactions and the asymptotic behavior of the harmonic potential solution we obtain the ground state energy, probability density and profiles of a few boson system in a harmonic trap. We are able to access all regimes, ranging from the strongly attractive to the strongly repulsive one with an original and simple formulation.A geometric wave function for a few interacting bosons in a harmonic trap201410.1016/j.physleta.2014.02.0092015-12-08
