Abstract: A system of two 2D, interacting vortices in the presence of straight reflecting walls is considered. Both the cases of a vortex-vortex pair and of a vortex-antivortex pair are studied. The system Hamiltonian includes the strongly non-linear contribution due to the vortex-boundary interaction. We analyze first the classical vortex motion then, resorting to the canonical quantization procedure, we find the quantum spectra. The quantization conditions result in the appearance of a denumerable class of constraints for the prime integrals. Further we discuss a complete solution of the wave equations showing that it leads to an extension of the class of known spheroidal eigenfunctions.
