contents We study an exactly solvable model that can be interpreted as an ideal one-dimensional electron gas confined with an anisotropic quantum wire potential of oscillator-shaped profile. The homogeneous nature of the quantum wire is broken by the introduction of the effective electron mass, which changes with radial distance. We solve the problem described both within the canonical and the non-canonical approach. Analytical expressions of the wavefunctions of the stationary states for both cases in terms of the Laguerre polynomials are obtained, as well as the discrete energy spectrum related to these wavefunctions. Additionally, an exact solution to the angular position part of the position-dependent mass Schrödinger equation within the non-canonical approach leads to the angular-part wavefunctions of the even and odd states expressed through the Gegenbauer polynomials. Possible limit relations and special cases are studied too.
