Abstract

We describe the spectrum of a self-adjoint pseudo-differential operator on L2 (– ∞, ∞). We show that the essential spectrum coincides with the interval ([1, ∞) and give a lower bound for the lowest eigenvalue in (– ∞, 1). A sufficient condition for the existence of an eigenvalue in (– ∞, 1) is also given.
