A remark on rational isochronous potentials

preprint2004arXivOpen access

Abstract

We consider the rational potentials of the one-dimensional mechanical systems, which have a family of periodic solutions with the same period (isochronous potentials). We prove that up to a shift and adding a constant all such potentials have the form U(x)=1/2ω2x2U(x) = 1/2 ω^2 x^2 or U(x)=1/8ω2x2+c2x−2.U(x) = 1/8 ω^2 x ^2 + c^2 x^{-2}.
