Abstract: The following comparison rules for the discrete spectrum of the position-dependent mass (PDM) Schroedinger equation are established. (i) If a constant mass m0 and a PDM m(x) are ordered everywhere, that is either m0leqm(x) or m0geqm(x), then the corresponding eigenvalues of the constant-mass Hamiltonian and of the PDM Hamiltonian with the same potential and the BenDaniel-Duke ambiguity parameters are ordered. (ii) The corresponding eigenvalues of PDM Hamiltonians with the different sets of ambiguity parameters are ordered if abla2(1/m(x)) has a definite sign. We prove these statements by using the Hellmann-Feynman theorem and offer examples of their application.
