Abstract

The Maslov index in the semiclassical Bohr–Sommerfeld quantization rule is calculated for one-dimensional power-law potentials V (x) = −V 0/x s, x > 0, 0 < s < 2 The result for the potential V(x)=-V 0/x 1/2 is compared with the recently reported exact solution. The case of a spherically symmetric power-law potential is also considered.
