Abstract: We formulate and study the set of coupled nonlinear differential equations which define a series of shape invariant potentials which repeats after a cycle of p iterations. These cyclic shape invariant potentials enlarge the limited reservoir of known analytically solvable quantum mechanical eigenvalue problems. At large values of x, cyclic superpotentials are found to have a linear harmonic oscillator behavior with superposed oscillations consisting of several systematically varying frequencies. At the origin, cyclic superpotentials vanish when the period p is odd, but diverge for p even. The eigenvalue spectrum consists of p infinite sets of equally spaced energy levels, shifted with respect to each other by arbitrary energies omega0,omega1,...,omegap1. As a special application, the energy spacings omegak can be identified with the periodic points generatedby the logistic map zk+1=rzk(1zk). Increasing the value of r and following the bifurcation route to chaos corresponds to studying cyclic shape invariant potentials as the period p takes values 1,2,4,8,...
