An eigenfunction expansion for a quadratic pencil of a Schrödinger operator with spectral singularities (Q1283959): Difference between revisions

In the previous paper [J. Differ. Equations 151, No. 2, 252-267 (1999; Zbl 0927.34063)], the authors started the study of quadratic pencils of Schrödinger operators on \(L^2(\mathbb{R}_+)\) generated by differential expressions of the form \[ l(y)= -y''+ [q(x)+ 2\lambda p(x)- \lambda^2]y.\tag{1} \] Using part of the results of that paper they obtain now a two-fold spectral expansion of operators \(L\) generated by the differential expression (1) and the boundary condition \(y(0)= 0\). It is assumed that the complex-valued functions \(p\) and \(q\) satisfy the conditions \(\lim_{x\to\infty} p(x)= 0\) and \(\sup_{x\in\mathbb{R}_+}\{e^{\varepsilon x}[|q(x)|+|p'(x)|\}< \infty\) for some \(\varepsilon> 0\). The main step in the proof consists in the regularization of some integrals which diverge in the neighbourhood of spectral singularities. The spectral expansion converges in appropriate weighted \(L^2\)-spaces.
