The existence of finite discontinuities in the energy eigenvalue spectra of certain multiterm potentials when their coupling parameters attain suitably chosen limiting values has been reported in the literature. We show that such discontinuities are also characteristic of such well-known systems as generalized anharmonic oscillators and the doubly anharmonic oscillator in one dimension. The present study strengthens the general conjecture that eigenvalue spectra are likely to display discontinuities in situations where a potential undergoes an abrupt change in shape with smooth variation of its coupling parameters.
