Position Dependent Mass Approach and Quantization for a Torus Lagrangian

Abstract

We have shown that a Lagrangian for a torus surface can yield second order nonlinear differential equations using the Euler-Lagrange formulation. It is seen that these second order nonlinear differential equations can be transformed into the nonlinear quadratic and Mathews-Lakshmanan equations using the position dependent mass approach developed by Mustafa for the classical systems. Then, we have applied the quantization procedure to the nonlinear quadratic and Mathews-Lakshmanan equations and found their exact solutions.
