Abstract
We present exact bounce solutions and amplitudes for tunneling in (i) a piecewise linear-quartic potential and (ii) a piecewise quartic-quartic potential, ignoring the effects of gravitation. We cross check their correctness by comparing with results obtained through the thin-wall approximation and with a piecewise linear-linear potential. We briefly comment on applications in cosmology.
