A Quantum Quasi-Harmonic Nonlinear Oscillator with an Isotonic Term

Abstract

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 to two parameters, $\kappa$ and $k_g$, in such a way that for $\kappa =0$ all the characteristics of of the standard isotonic system are recovered. The first part is devoted to the classical system and the second part to the quantum system. This is a problem of quantization of a system with position-dependent mass of the form $m(x)=1/(1-\kappa x^2)$, with a $\kappa$-dependent non-polynomial rational potential and with an additional isotonic term. The Schrödinger equation is exactly solved and the $(\kappa ,k_g)$-dependent wave functions and bound state energies are explicitly obtained for both $\kappa <0$ and $\kappa >0$.
