k:th power (amplitude-)squeezed states are defined as the normalized states giving equality in the Schroedinger-Robertson uncertainty relation for the real and imaginary parts of the k:th power of the one-mode annihilation operator. Equivalently they are the set of normalized eigenstates (for all possible complex eigenvalues) of the Bogolubov transformed "k:th power annihilation operators". Expressed in the number representation the eigenvalue equation leads to a three term recursion relation for the expansion coefficients, which can be explicitly solved in the cases k = 1, 2. The solutions are essentially Hermite and Pollaczek polynomials, respectively. k = 1 gives the ordinary squeezed states, i.e. displaced squeezed vacua. For k equal to or larger than three, where no explicit solution has been found, the recursion relation for the symmetric operator given by the real part of the k:th power of the annihilation operator defines a Jacobi matrix corresponding to a classical Hamburger moment problem, which is undetermined. This implies that the operator has an infinity of self-adjoint extensions, all with disjoint discrete spectra. The corresponding squeezed states are well-defined, however.
