This oscillator can be seen as a position-dependent mass system and we show a natural quantization prescription admitting a factorization with shape invariance for the $n=1$ case, and then the energy spectrum is found. Other isochronous systems which can also be considered as a generalization of the harmonic oscillator and admit a nonstandard Lagrangian description are also discussed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-05-10T10:39:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37J35" ], "keywords": [ "important examples", "nonstandard lagrangian description", "position-dependent mass system", "hyperbolic functions", "classical nonlinear oscillator" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2005math.ph...5028C" } } }
