Description
We show that a polynomial of degree N of a harmonic oscillator hamiltonian allows us to devise a fully solvable continuous quantum system for which the first N discrete energy eigenvalues can be chosen at will. In general such a choice leads to a re-ordering of the associated energy eigenfunctions of such that the number of their nodes does not increase monotonically with increasing level number. Systems have certain 'universal' features, we study their basic behaviours.
