Abstract: In this paper nonlinear dynamical symmetries of three quantum systems are studied in detail, such as the Kepler--Coulomb system and the isotropic harmonic oscillator in a two-dimensional curved space, and the generalized pseudo-oscillators in the two-dimensional flat space. Their nonlinear spectrum generating algebras are shown to be relevant to polynomial angular momentum algebras.

Key words: nonlinear dynamical symmetry, polynomial angular momentum algebra, Kepler-Coulomb system, harmonic oscillator, pseudo-oscillator
