Creators

Description

The existence is established of homogeneous time-dependent invariants of arbitrary degree in the coordinate and momentum for the harmonic oscillator with variable mass and frequency. In the constant mass, constant frequency case the cubic and quartic invariants are calculated and some comments are made on the connection with the linear and quadratic invariants. (author)
