Abstract The results obtained in this paper show that the SU(3) pattern in the spectra and transition rates of even-even nuclei appear qualitatively as a general feature of a large class of quadrupole-phonon models, independently of SU(3) symmetry. This pattern reflects the truncation of the quadrupole phonon space, incorporated via truncation operator in the fourth-order anharmonic quadrupole-phonon Hamiltonian. Three particular forms of the truncation operator are considered, corresponding to three models, namely the truncated quadrupole-phonon model (TQM), equivalent to the well-known interacting-boson model (IBM), the step-truncated quadrupole-phonon model (STQM), equivalent to a standard anharmonic quadrupole-phonon model and the linearly truncated quadrupole-phonon model (LTQM), introduced here. The results obtained provide a basis for a broader scope for the considerations in the SU(3) limit.
