Abstract

We consider the operator defined by (T0y)(x) = -y" + q(x)y (x > 0) on the domain Dom (T0) = { f ∈ L2(0,∞) : f" ∈ L2(0,∞), f (0) = 0}. Here q(x) = p(x) + ib(x), where p(x) and b(x) are real functions satisfying the following conditions: b(x) is bounded on [0,8), there exists the limit b0 := limx→∞ b(x) and b(x) - b0 ∈ L2(0,8). In addition, infx p(x) > supx |b1(x)|. We derive an estimate for the norm of the resolvent of T0, as well as prove that (T0 - ib0I)-1 is a sum of a normal operator and a quasinilpotent one, and these operators have the same invariant subspaces.
