A procedure for constructing general bound state potentials is given. Analo
gous to the Bertrand's theorem in classical mechanics, we then identify rad
ial eigenvalue problems possessing exact solvability and infinite number of
eigenstates. Akin to the classical result, the only special cases of the g
eneral central potential, satisfying the above two conditions, are the Coul
omb and harmonic oscillator potentials.
