Let $S(k)$ be the scattering matrix for a Schr\"odinger operator (Laplacian plus potential) on $\RR^n$ with compactly supported smooth potential. It is well known that $S(k)$ is unitary and that the spectrum of $S(k)$ accumulates on the…
We formulate scattering in one dimension due to the coupled Schr\"{o}dinger equation in terms of the $S$ matrix, the unitarity of which leads to constraints on the scattering amplitudes. Levinson's theorem is seen to have the form $\eta(0)…
