    When a particle of mass $m$ moves on the $x$-axis in a potential of the form $V(x)=\mathrm{kx}^2$ it performs simple harmonic motion. The corresponding time period is proportional to $\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{k}}}$, as can be seen easily using dimensional analysis. However, the motion of a particle can be periodic even when its potential energy increases on both sides of $\mathrm{x}=0$ in a way different from $\mathrm{kx}^2$ and its total energy is such that the particle does not escape to infinity. Consider a particle of mass $\mathrm{m}$ moving on the $x$-axis. Its potential energy is $V(x)=\alpha x^4(\alpha>0)$ for $|x|$ near the origin and becomes a constant equal to $\mathrm{V}_0$ for $|x| \geq X_0$ (see figure). $Image$
