Lower estimate of the minimal eigenvalue of a Hamiltonian

Consider a linear operator $H\colon L^2(\mathbb{R}^3)\to L^2(\mathbb{R}^3)$ given by $$H(\psi)(x):=-\Delta\psi(x)+V(x)\cdot \psi(x),$$ where $V\colon \mathbb{R}^3\to \mathbb{R}$ is a continuous (or ...

Spectrum of this ODE

I noticed something interesting studying this Sturm-Liouville Problem: $$ \frac{d}{dx}\left(\sqrt{(1-x^{2})}\frac{df}{dx} \right)+\frac{\left(n \alpha x+\alpha^2 x^{2} + \lambda\right)f}{\sqrt{(1-x^{...

Limit-circle and limit-point at endpoints

I was wondering if the following holds: If you have an ODE $$-y''(x) + q(x) y(x) = \lambda y(x)$$ on a finite interval $(a,b)$ and you know that this equation is limit-circle or limit-point at the ...

Solutions to Schrödinger equation parameter dependence

This is somewhat unrelated to what I normally do in mathematics, which is why it may be obvious to some of you, but I was puzzled by this: If we look for classical solutions on $[0,1]$ to $$-y''(x) =...
