A Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization rule is generalized for the case of the deformed commutation relation leading to minimal uncertainties in both coordinate and momentum operators. The correctness of the rule is verified by comparing obtained…
In the WKB approximation the $\nabla^2S$ term in Schrodinger's equation is subordinate to the |\nabla S|^2 term. Here we study an anti-WKB approximation in which the $\nabla^2 S$ term dominates (after a guess for S is supplied). Our…
The Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) perturbative series, a widely used technique for solving linear waves, is typically divergent and at best, asymptotic, thus impeding predictions beyond the first few leading-order effects. Here, we report…
The one-dimensional Schrodinger equation for the potential $x^6+\alpha x^2 +l(l+1)/x^2$ has many interesting properties. For certain values of the parameters l and alpha the equation is in turn supersymmetric (Witten), quasi-exactly…

We investigate deviations from the plane wave model in the interaction of charged particles with strong electromagnetic fields. A general result is that integrability of the dynamics is lost when going from lightlike to timelike or…
In this study, we analyze the bound-state energy spectrum of quark-antiquark systems using the semiclassical WKB approximation. We consider the Cornell potential, which combines a linear confinement term with a Coulombic interaction, and…
It is proposed that the Schrodinger equation for a free point particle has non-linear corrections which depend on the mass of the particle. It is assumed that the corrections become extremely small when the mass is much smaller or much…
