Consider the operator $ T=-{d^2dx^2}+x^2+q(x)$ in $L^2(\mathbb{R})$, where real functions $q$, $q'$ and $\int_0^xq(s)ds$ are bounded. In particular, $q$ is periodic or almost periodic. The spectrum of $T$ is purely discrete and consists of…

We revisit the canonical quantization to assess the spectrum of the modified Emden equation $\ddot{x} + kx\dot{x} + \omega^2 x + \frac{k^2}{9}x^3 = 0$, which is an isochronous case of the Li\'enard-Kukles equation. While its classical…

In many physical problems it is not possible to find an exact solution. However, when some parameter in the problem is small, one can obtain an approximate solution by expanding in this parameter. This is the basis of perturbative methods,…
In a previous paper we solved a countably infinite family of one-dimensional Schr\"odinger equations by showing that they were supersymmetric partner potentials of the standard quantum harmonic oscillator. In this work we extend these…
