Abstract: Non-separable $D-$dimensional partial differential Schr"{o}dinger equations are considered at $D=2$ and $D=3$, with the even-parity local potentials $V(x,y,ldots)$ which are polynomials of degree four (cusp catastrophe resembling case) and six (butterfly resembling case). Their extremes (i.e., minima and maxima) are assumed pronounced, localized via a suitable ad hoc parametrization of the coupling constants. A non-numerical approximate construction of the low lying bound states $psi(x,y,ldots)$] is then found feasible in the dynamical regime simulating a coupled system of quantum dots in which the individual minima of $V(x,y,ldots)$ are well separated, with the potential being locally approximated by the harmonic oscillator wells. The measurable characteristics (and, in particular, the topologically protected probability-density distributions) are then found bifurcating in a specific evolution scenario called a relocalization quantum catastrophe.
