Abstract: | A general decoupling procedure is described for systems of N interacting harmonic oscillators coupled by some bilinear perturbing potentials, and explicit conditions are derived which must be fulfilled in order to obtain physical bound states. Illustrative examples include a general treatment of the 2-oscillator system, some particular extensions to systems containing 3 oscillators, and a class of N-oscillator models. |
