Synopsis

The differential expression Mf = −f″+qf, on a half-line [a, ∞), is said to be ‘separated’ in L2(a, ∞) if the collection of all functions fL2(a, ∞) such that Mf is defined and also in L2(a, ∞), has the property that both the terms f″ and qf are separately in L2(a, ∞). When q is positive and differentiable on [a, ∞) this paper obtains sufficient conditions on the coefficient q for M to be separated; these take the form of bounds for qq−3/2 on [a, ∞).
