Abstract

A determination of the eigenvalues for a three-dimensional system is made by expanding the potential functionV(x,y,z;Z2, λ,β)= ?Z2[x2+y2+z2]+λ {x4+y4+z4+2β[x2y2+x2z2+y2z2]}, around its minimum. In this paper the results of extensive numerical calculations using this expansion and the Hill-determinant approach are reported for a large class of potential functions and for various values of the perturbation parametersZ2, λ, and β.
