Abstract

In this paper, we study self-adjointness and spectrum of operators of the form H=d2dx2+Fx,F>0onH=L2(L,L).H=\displaystyle -\frac{d^2}{dx^2}+Fx, F>0 \quad\text{on} \quad \mathcal{H}=L^{2}(-L,L). HH is called Stark operator and describes a quantum particle in a quantum asymmetric well. Most of known results on mathematical physics does not take in consideration the self-adjointness and the operating domains of such operators. We focus on this point and give the parametrization of all self-adjoint extensions. This relates on self-adjoint domains of singular symmetric differential operators. For some of these extensions, we numerically, give the spectral properties of HH. One of these examples performs the interesting phenomenon of splitting of degenerate eigenvalues. This is done using the a combination of the Bisection and Newton methods with a numerical accuracy less than 10810^{-8}.
