In this paper, we study a generalized Duffin–Kemmer equation for a spin-1 particle with two characteristics, anomalous magnetic moment and polarizability in the presence of external uniform magnetic and electric fields. After separating the variables, we obtained a system of 10 first-order partial differential equations for 10 functions fA(r,z). To resolve this complicated problem, we first took into account existing symmetry in the structure of the derived system. The main step consisted of applying a special method for fixing the r-dependence of ten functions fA(r,z),A=1,,10. We used the approach of Fedorov–Gronskiy, according to which the complete 10-component wave function is decomposed into the sum of three projective constituents. The dependence of each component on the polar coordinate r is determined by only one corresponding function, Fi(r),i=1,2,3. These three basic functions are constructed in terms of confluent hypergeometric functions, and in this process a quantization rule arises due to the presence of a magnetic field.In fact, this approach is a step-by-step algebraization of the systems of equations in partial derivatives. After that, we derived a system of 10 ordinary differential equations for 10 functions fA(z). This system was solved using the elimination method and with the help of special linear combinined with the involved functions. As a result, we found three separated second-order differential equations, and their solutions were constructed in the terms of the confluent hypergeometric functions. Thus, in this paper, the three types of solutions for a vector particle with two additional electromagnetic characteristics in the presence of both external uniform magnetic and electric fields.
