Summary

We use the results of a recent reformulation of the theory of arbitrary-order differential equations in terms of non-Hermitian operators to show that the invariant binorm is associated to a generalized Courant-Snyder invariant. Furthermore, we indicate the existence of higher-order invariants associated to the Casimir operators of the group, utilized to treat higher-order equations. We also discuss the intrinsic supersymmetric nature of the theory developed. Finally, we show the relevance of the proposed mathematical technique to the design of fiberoptics transport systems.
