Review text

Let \(M(f)\) be the Sturm-Liouville differential expression \(M(f)= -f+q(x)f\) over \([a,b)\). The paper is devoted to the study of the inequality \[ \left(\int^\infty_0 \bigl(|f'|^2 +q|f|\bigr) dx\right)^2\leq K\int_0^\infty |f|dx\int^\infty_0 M[f]dx, \] where \(K\) is some constant, \(f\) is a locally absolutely continuous function on \([a,b)\) and is Lebesgue square integrable; \(q(x)\) is (i) \(\pm\sin x\), (ii) \(\pm\cos x\) and (iii) \(q(x)=-1(x\) on \([0,\Pi])\) and \(+1\) \((x\) on \([\Pi,2\Pi])\), and then extended periodically one \([0,\infty)\). For these cases the spectrum consists of bands which may have eigenvalues in the gaps. The authors provide strong numerical evidence that the inequality is valid when zero lies in one of the spectral band also when zero is a Neumann or Dirichlet eigenvalue (the problem is translated by a value equal to the eigenvalue). Finally, the authors compute the position of these bands using the Rayleigh-Ritz method and examine various translates to show how the values of best constant vary.
