The many-body problem with an energy-dependent confining potential

We consider systems of N bosons bound by two-body harmonic interactions, whose frequency depends on the total energy of the system. Such energy dependent confining interactions between the bosons yield remarkable properties of the many-body system. As the quantum numbers increase, the total energy cannot exceed a saturation energy, which is independent of the number of particles N. Moreover, the ground state energy increases with N. As a result, the density of states tends rapidly to infinity as N and/or the quantum numbers increase.
