Orthogonal polynomials and functions of hypergeometric type (Jacobi, Laguerre, Hermite, Askey scheme, etc.) (33C45) Boundary eigenvalue problems for ordinary differential equations (34B09) Eigenvalues, estimation of eigenvalues, upper and lower bounds of ordinary differential operators (34L15)

Abstract: We derive explicit inequalities for sums of eigenvalues of one-dimensional Schr"{o}dinger operators on the whole line. In the case of the perturbed harmonic oscillator, these bounds converge to the corresponding trace formula in the limit as the number of eigenvalues covers the whole spectrum.

Review text

The authors study mainly the eigenvalue problem of the form NEWLINENEWLINE\[NEWLINE- u (x) + (x^{2} + q (x)) u (x) = \lambda u (x), \quad x \in \mathbb RNEWLINE\]NEWLINE NEWLINEassuming that \(q\) is a non-negative summable potential on the real line. The eigenvalues \(\lambda_{n}\) of the problem satisfy NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\sum_{k = 0}^{n} \biggl( \lambda_{k} - \lambda_{k}^{0} - \frac{1}{\pi \sqrt{ \lambda_{k}^{0}}} \int_{\mathbb R} q (x) d x \biggl) \leq \frac{\chi_{n}}{\pi} \int_{\mathbb R} q (x) d x, \quad n=0,1,\dots,NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(\lambda_{k}^{0} = 2 k + 1\) for \(k \in \mathbb N\) are eigenvalues of the quantum harmonic oscillator \(- d^{2} / d x^{2} + x^{2}\), and NEWLINE\[NEWLINE \chi_{n} = \begin{cases} \frac{2 n + 3}{n + 1} \frac{\Gamma (n/2 + 1)}{\Gamma ((n + 1)/2)} - \sum_{k = 0}^{n} \frac{1}{\sqrt{ \lambda_{k}^{0}}}&\text{for }n\text{ odd}, \\ (n + 1) \frac{\Gamma ((n + 1)/2)}{\Gamma (n/2 + 1)} - \sum_{k = 0}^{n} \frac{1}{\sqrt{ \lambda_{k}^{0}}}&\text{for }n\text{ even}.\end{cases}NEWLINE\]NEWLINE Certain generalizations and slightly other type potentials are also considered.
