The classical quantization of a Lienard-type nonlinear oscillator is achieved by a quantization scheme (M.C. Nucci. Theor. Math. Phys., 168:997--1004, 2011) that preserves the Noether point symmetries of the underlying Lagrangian in order…
We consider two one dimensional nonlinear oscillators, namely (i) Higgs oscillator and (ii) a $k$-dependent nonpolynomial rational potential, where $k$ is the constant curvature of a Riemannian manifold. Both the systems are of position…

The lagrangian of the Kaluza-Klein theory, in its simplest five-dimensional version, should include not only the scalar curvature R, but also the quadratic Gauss-Bonnet invariant. The general lagrangian is computed and the resulting…

We argue that, under multidimensional position-dependent mass (PDM) settings, the Euler-Lagrange textbook invariance falls short and turned out to be vividly incomplete and/or insecure for a set of PDM-Lagrangians. We show that the…
The properties of a nonlinear oscillator with an additional term $k_g/x^2$, characterizing the isotonic oscillator, are studied. The nonlinearity affects to both the kinetic term and the potential and combines two nonlinearities associated…
