On Positive Eigenvalues of One - Body Schrodinger Operators
نویسنده
چکیده
The last twenty years have produced a rather extensive literature on the exact mathematical treatment of general features of the Schrodinger equation for one or many particles. One of the more intriguing questions concerns the presence of discrete eigenvalues of positive energy (that is square-integrable eigenfunctions with positive eigenvalues) . There is a highly non-rigorous but physically appealing argument which assures us that such positive energy “bound states” cannot exist (c.f. [l], pages 30 and 51). On the other hand, there is an ancient, explicit example due to von Neumann and Wigner [2] which presents a fairly reasonable potential V, with V(r) -+ 0 as r .--f CO, and which possesses an eigenfunction with E = 1 (in units with fi2/2m = 1). According to the excellent review article of Kato [3], Section 8, there are two general results which yield cases where H = A + V(r) has no positive eigenvalues : (a) In [4], Kato has proven that if V = o(l/r), then H has no positive eigenvalue. (b) In [ 5 ] , Odeh has proven a similar result in case V(r) .--f 0 as r + 00 and aV/ar < 0 for sufficiently large r . Both of the above statements require certain regularity conditions along with the indicated asymptotic behavior. For the case of spherically symmetric V, stronger results do exist (see e.g. [9]). In this paper, we prove

On the Numerical Solution of One Dimensional Schrodinger Equation with Boundary Conditions Involving Fractional Differential Operators
In this paper we study of collocation method with Radial Basis Function to solve one dimensional time dependent Schrodinger equation in an unbounded domain. To this end, we introduce artificial boundaries and reduce the original problem to an initial boundary value problem in a bounded domain with transparent boundary conditions that involves half order fractional derivative in t. Then in three...
متن کاملSemiclassical eigenvalues and shape problems on surfaces of revolution
Mark Kac [“Can one hear the shape of drums?” Am. Math. Monthly 73, l-23 (1966)] asked if the shape of a region fiCR” could be determined from its sound (spectrum of the Laplacian A,). He proved the conjecture for special classes of domains, including polygons and balls in W”. Similar problems could be raised in other geometric contexts, including “shape of metric” for Laplacians on manifolds or...
متن کاملAsymptotic distribution of eigenvalues of the elliptic operator system
Since the theory of spectral properties of non-self-accession differential operators on Sobolev spaces is an important field in mathematics, therefore, different techniques are used to study them. In this paper, two types of non-self-accession differential operators on Sobolev spaces are considered and their spectral properties are investigated with two different and new techniques.

Semiclassical analysis of low lying eigenvalues. I. Non-degenerate minima: asymptotic expansions
We consider eigenvalues of Schrodinger operators of the form ~ + ~,2h + ~?g where h >0 has finitely many minima, each of which is non-degenerate. We prove a folk theorem about the asymptotic behavior of the nth eigenvalue in the ~, -~ oo limit. We conclude with a few remarks about the extension to Riemannian manifolds because of the significance to Witten’s proof of the Morse inequalities....
