Abstract

Direct method for searching analytic solutions of the two-dimensional Schrödinger equation with a two-dimensional fourth-order polynomial potential is presented. Analytic formulas for the energies and wave functions of the ground state and excited state are found. Obtained results can not be in general reduced to two one-dimensional cases.
