On the study of quark confinement and the relativistic flux tube model
  The scalar potential, time component vector potential and flux tube quark confinements are studied in this paper. We find that the predictions of scalar confinement and time component vector confinement are in considerable conflict with measured values while the flux-tube confinement works well to explain the experimental data. We also study the relativistic flux tube model. From the comparison of the exact numerical solution with the analytic approximation solution for heavy-light mesons, we find that the solutions are much more in agreement with each other for higher excited states since the deep radial limit is better satisfied.
