Bounds for Schrödinger operators on the half-line perturbed by dissipative barriers (Q824386)

In this paper, authors consider Schrödinger operators of the form \[ H_R = - \frac{d^2}{dx^2} + q + i \gamma \chi_{[0,R]} \quad \text{on } L^2(0, \infty ) \quad (R > 0), \tag{1}\] with a Dirichlet boundary condition at \(0\), where \(\gamma >0\) and the background potential \(q \in L^1(0, \infty).\) Firstly, authors obtain a uniform in \(R\) enclosure and a bound for the magnitude of eigenvalues of \(H_R\). In particular, the imaginary and negative real components of the eigenvalues are bounded independently of \(R\). The bound gives the estimate \(\sqrt{|\lambda_R|} = O(R / \log R)\) as \(R \to \infty\) for any eigenvalue \(\lambda_R\) of \(H_R.\) Then, estimates for the number of eigenvalues \(N(H_R)\) of \(H_R\) have been proved. Moreover, authors show that \(N(H_R) = O(R^2 / \log R) \) when \(q\) is compactly supported and \(N(H_R) = O(R^3 / (\log R)^2) \) when \(q\) merely satisfies the Naimark condition as \(R \to \infty\).
