From the equation of motion and the canonical commutation relation for the position of a particle and its conjugate momentum, different first integrals of motion can be constructed. In addition to the proper Hamiltonian, there are other operators that can be considered as the generators of motion for the position operator (q-equivalent Hamiltonians). All of these operators have the same classical limit for the probability density of the coordinate of the particle, and many of them are symmetric and self-adjoint operators or have self-adjoint extensions. However, they do not satisfy the Heisenberg rule of quantization, and lead to incorrect commutation relations for velocity and position operators. Therefore, it is concluded that the energy first integral and the potential, rather than the equation of motion and the force law, are the physically significant operators in quantum mechanics.

In this paper, we undertake an analysis of the eigenstates of two non-self-adjoint operators q ^ and p ^ similar, in a suitable sense, to the self-adjoint position and momentum operators q ^ 0 and p ^ 0 usually adopted in ordinary quantum mechanics. In particular, we discuss conditions for these eigenstates to be biorthogonal distributions , and we discuss a few of their properties. We illustrate our results with two examples, one in which the similarity map between the self-adjoint and the non-self-adjoint is bounded, with bounded inverse, and the other in which this is not true. We also briefly propose an alternative strategy to deal with q ^ and p ^ , based on the so-called quasi *-algebras .

Recently Sinelshchikov et al. [1] formulated a Lax representation for a family of nonautonomous second-order differential equations. In this paper we extend their result and obtain the Lax pair and the associated first integral of a non-autonomous version of the Levinson – Smith equation. In addition, we have obtained Lax pairs and first integrals for several equations of the Painlevé – Gambier list, namely, the autonomous equations numbered XII, XVII, XVIII, XIX, XXI, XXII, XXIII, XXIX, XXXII, XXXVII, XLI, XLIII, as well as the non-autonomous equations Nos. XV and XVI in Ince’s book.

We construct two-dimensional integrable and superintegrable systems in terms of the master function formalism and relate them to Mielnik’s and Marquette’s construction in supersymmetric quantum mechanics. For two different cases of the master functions, we obtain two different two-dimensional superintegrable systems with higher order integrals of motion.
