Abstract
We introduce the harmonic oscillator on the Lobachevsky plane with the aid of the potential where is the curvature radius and is the geodesic distance from a fixed center. Thus the potential is rotationally symmetric and unbounded likewise as in the Euclidean case. The eigenvalue equation leads to the differential equation of spheroidal functions. We provide a basic numerical analysis of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions in the case when the value of the angular momentum, , equals 0.
