Abstract.
On the basis of the Feinberg-Horodecki quantal equation the space-like coherent states of a time-dependent Morse oscillator, minimizing the time-energy uncertainty relation are constructed. They reduce to the macroscopic states of the Gompertzian growth, in the limit of the anharmonicity constant xe↦1. The obtained results are useful for interpreting the formation of the specific growth patterns during crystallization process and biological growth.
