On the semiclassical approximation to the eigenvalue gap of Schrödinger operators (Q764963)

The asymptotics when \(t \rightarrow + \infty\) of the fundamental gap (the distance between the first two eigenvalues) of the Schrödinger operators \[ H(t)= -d^{2}/dx^{2} + q(x) +t \cos x \] and \[ H(t)= -d^{2}/dx^{2} + q(x) +A \cos(tx) \] on \(L^{2}(\mathbb{R})\) are studied. The potential \(q\) is even and bounded from below and it is assumed that \(H(t)\) has at least two negative eigenvalues and the first one is nondegenerate.
