Abstract
The general description of superintegrable systems with one polynomial integral of order in the momenta is presented for a Hamiltonian system in two-dimensional Euclidean plane. We consider classical and quantum Hamiltonian systems allowing separation of variables in polar coordinates. The potentials can be classified into two major classes and their main properties are described. We conjecture that a new infinite family of superintegrable potentials in terms of the sixth Painlev\'e transcendent exists and demonstrate this for the first few cases.
