Abstract
Synopsis We consider differential operators of the form H = −d2/dx2 + q(x) acting on u ∈ L2(0,∞) with boundary condition u(0) = 0. The potential q(x) is such that H has essential spectrum [0,∞) and an infinite sequence of negative eigenvalues converging to zero. Let n(E) denote the number of eigenvalues of H which are less than E. Under certain conditions on q(x), the well-known formula n(E)∼(2φ)−1 vol {x, p | p2 + q(x)
