Superintegrable classical Hamiltonian systems in two-dimensional Euclidean space E 2 are explored. The study is restricted to Hamiltonians allowing separation of variables V (x, y) = V 1 (x) + V 2 (y) in Cartesian coordinates. In particular, the Hamiltonian H admits a polynomial integral of order N > 2. Only doubly exotic potentials are considered. These are potentials where none of their separated parts obey any linear ordinary differential equation. An improved procedure to calculate these higher-order superintegrable systems is described in detail. The two basic building blocks of the formalism are non-linear compatibility conditions and the algebra of the integrals of motion. The case N = 5, where doubly exotic confining potentials appear for the first time, is completely solved to illustrate the present approach. The general case N > 2 and a formulation of inverse problem in superintegrability are briefly discussed as well.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
