This paper proves the completeness of root functions for a class of complex Schrödinger operators on the semi-axis, including the Airy operator, under specific conditions on the potential and the argument of the complex parameter.
Contribution
It extends the completeness results for the Airy operator to a broader range of complex parameters using asymptotic analysis of Airy functions.
Findings
01
Completeness holds for the Schrödinger operator with complex potential under certain growth conditions.
02
For the Airy operator, completeness is valid if the argument of the complex parameter is less than 5π/6.
03
The paper introduces a new technique based on asymptotic behavior of Airy functions for proving completeness.
Abstract
We prove the theorem on the completeness of the root functions of the Schroedinger operator L=−d2/dx2+p(x) on the semi-axis R+ with a complex--valued potential p(x). It is assumed that the potential p=q±ir is such that the real functions q and r are subject the conditions q(x)⩾cr(x),r(x)⩾c0+c1xα,α>0, where the constants c,c0∈R, c1>0 and arg(±i+c)<2απ/(2+α). For the case of the Airy operator Lc=−d2/dx2+cx, c=const, this theorem imply the completeness of the system of the eigenfunctions of this operator if ∣argc∣<2π/3. Using another technique based on the asymptotic behavior of the Airy functions we prove that the completeness theorem for the operator Lc remains valid, provided that ∣argc∣<5π/6.
