Minimal potential results for the Schrodinger equation in a slab

Analysis of PDEs 2013-09-03 v1

Abstract

Consider the Schrodinger equation -\Delta u =(k+V) u in an infinite slab S= \R^{n-1}x (0,1), where V is a bounded potential supported on a set D of finite measure. We prove necessary conditions for the existence of nontrivial admissible solutions. These conditions involve the sup. of |V|, the measure of D, and the distance of k from the "special set" {\pi^2 m^2, m positive integer}. In many cases, these inequalities are sharp.
