Abstract: Let $L$ be a linear symmetric differential operators on $L^{2}left(mathbbRight)$ whose domain is the Schwartz test function space, $mathcalS.$ For the majority of this paper, it is assumed that the coefficient of $L$ are polynomial functions on $mathbbR.$ We will give criteria on the polynomial coefficients of $L$ which guarantees that $L$ is essentially self-adjoint, $$ for some $C<infty,$ and that $mathcalS$ is a core for $$ for all $rgeq0.$ Given another polynomial coefficient differential operator, $ildeL,$ we will further give criteria on the coefficients $L$ and $ildeL$ which implies operator comparison inequalities of the form $$ for all $0leqr<infty.$ The last inequality generalized to allow for an added parameter, $hbar>0,$ in the coefficients is used to provide a large class of operators satisfying the hypotheses in our another paper "On the classical limit of quantum mechanics" (will be submitted very soon) where a strong form of the classical limit of quantum mechanics is shown to hold.
