Comparison theorems for the gap of Schrödinger operators (Q1113017): Difference between revisions

The authors try to estimate the gap \(E_ 1-E_ 0\) for the two lowest eigenvalues, in general dimension, of the Schrödinger operator \(-\Delta +V\) under some conditions on V. The basic result is a comparison theorem for the gaps of two Schrödinger operators, with applications to explicit lower bounds of the gap.
