The Dirichlet problem for perturbed Stark operators in the half-line

Abstract: We consider the perturbed Stark operator

,

v a r p h i (0) = 0

, in

L^{2} (m a t h b b R_{+})

, where

q

is a real-valued function that belongs to

m a t h f r a k A_{r} = l e f t q i n m a t h c a l A_{r} c a p e x t A C [0, i n f t y) : q^{'} i n m a t h c a l A_{r} i g h t

, where

m a t h c a l A_{r} = L^{2} (m a t h b b R_{+}, (1 + x)^{r} d x)

and

r > 1

is arbitrary but fixed. Let

l e f t {l a m b d a_{n} (q) i g h t}_{n = 1}^{i} n f t y

and

l e f t {k a p p a_{n} (q) i g h t}_{n = 1}^{i} n f t y

be the spectrum and associated set of norming constants of

H_{q}

. Let

{a_{n}}_{n = 1}^{i} n f t y

be the zeros of the Airy function of the first kind, and let

o m e g a_{r} : m a t h b b N o m a t h b b R

be defined by the rule

o m e g a_{r} (n) = n^{- 1 / 3} l o g^{1 / 2} n

if

r i n (1, 2)

and

o m e g a_{r} (n) = n^{- 1 / 3}

if

r i n [2, i n f t y)

. We prove that

l a m b d a_{n} (q) = - a_{n} + p i (- a_{n})^{- 1 / 2} i n t_{0}^{i} n f t y e x t {A i}^{2} (x + a_{n}) q (x) d x + O (n^{- 1 / 3} o m e g a_{r}^{2} (n))

and

k a p p a_{n} (q) = - 2 p i (- a_{n})^{- 1 / 2} i n t_{0}^{i} n f t y e x t A i (x + a_{n}) e x t A^{'} i (x + a_{n}) q (x) d x + O (o m e g a_{r}^{3} (n))

, uniformly on bounded subsets of

m a t h f r a k A_{r}

. In order to obtain these asymptotic formulas, we first show that

l a m b d a_{n} : m a t h c a l A_{r} o m a t h b b R

and

k a p p a_{n} : m a t h c a l A_{r} o m a t h b b R

are real analytic maps.
