We obtain the exact wave functions of two Lane-Emden-type Kanai-Caldirola (LE-KC) oscillators by using the dynamical invariant method. To do so, we analytically solve the respective Milne-Pinney equation for each oscillator. We also calculate the uncertainty product, the transition probability and the quantum-mechanical energy expectation value for each oscillator. We compare the results with those of the well-known KC oscillator. The quantum-mechanical energy expectation value of the KC oscillator goes to zero faster than that of the LE-KC oscillators, indicating that the KC system is more damped than the LE-KC ones.
