Abstract: We construct a generalised expression for the normal ordering of (a+a^{dagger})^{m} for integral values of m and use the result to study the quantum anharmonic oscillator problem in the Heisenberg approach. In particular, we derive generalised expressions for energy eigen values and frequency shifts for the Hamiltonian H=frac{x^{2}}{2}+frac{dot{x}^{2}}{2}+frac{lambda}{m}x^{m}. We also derive a closed form first order multi scale perturbation theoretic operator solution of this Hamiltonian with a view to generalise some recent results of Bender and Bettencourt .
