The exact semiclassical quantization condition represents a cumbersome series expansion, so that only the main term of it is usually taken into account. We propose a way to find next terms without new additional calculations. Results are…
It is shown that the quasilinearization method (QLM) sums the WKB series. The method approaches solution of the Riccati equation (obtained by casting the Schr\"{o}dinger equation in a nonlinear form) by approximating the nonlinear terms by…
We construct a variety of new exactly-solvable quantum systems, the potentials of which are given in terms of Lambert-W functions. In particular, we generate Schr\"odinger models with energy-dependent potentials, conventional Schr\"odinger…

We consider a family of periodic scalar operators for which one can define flat bands in the sense of Floquet-Bloch theory. One puzzling question originating in recent physics literature is a quantisation rule for the values of parameters…
We prove an existence and uniqueness theorem for exact WKB solutions of general singularly perturbed linear second-order ODEs in the complex domain. These include the one-dimensional time-independent complex Schr\"odinger equation. Notably,…

We present a simple derivation of the WKB quantisation condition using the quantum Hamilton-Jacobi formalism and propose an exact quantisation condition within this formalism for integrable models in higher dimensions.
Solutions obtained by the quasilinearization method (QLM) are compared with the WKB solutions. Expansion of the $p$-th QLM iterate in powers of $\hbar$ reproduces the structure of the WKB series generating an infinite number of the WKB…

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…
It has been shown that the cases of the JWKB formulae in 1--dim QM quantizing the energy levels exactly are results of essentially one global symmetry of both potentials and their corresponding Stokes graphs. Namely, this is the invariance…
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…
