Abstract

We show that all bounded trajectories in the two dimensional classical system with the potential V(r,ϕ)=ω2r2+\alk2r2cos2kϕ+βk2r2sin2kϕV(r,\phi)=\omega^2 r^2+ \frac{\al k^2}{r^2 \cos^2 {k \phi}}+ \frac{\beta k^2}{r^2 \sin^2 {k \phi}} are closed for all integer and rational values of kk. The period is T=π2ωT=\frac{\pi}{2\omega} and does not depend on kk. This agrees with our earlier conjecture suggesting that the quantum version of this system is superintegrable.
