Abstract
The exact solution and the invariant operator of a generalized harmonic oscillator are obtained by performing three consecutive gauge transformations on the time-dependent Schrodinger equation. In contrast to previous results, they depend only on solutions of a linear differential equation for the associated classical harmonic oscillator. Non-adiabatic and adiabatic Berry phases for the system are calculated on the basis of the exact solution.
