For Schrödinger operators with suitable 1D potentials, focussing particularly on those that go to infinity at infinity, a characteristic function is constructed, via shooting functions. It is proved to be entire and its zeroes to be the eigenvalues.

Abstract The shooting method is a numerically effective approach to solving certain eigenvalue problems, such as that arising from the Schrodinger equation for the two-dimensional hydrogen atom with

We describe relations between the Evans function, a modern tool in the study of stability of traveling waves and other patterns for PDEs, and the classical Weyl-Titchmarsh function for singular

Functional determinants of differential operators play a prominent role in theoretical and mathematical physics, and in particular in quantum field theory. They are, however, difficult to compute in

Oscillation theory locates the spectrum of a differential equation by counting the zeros of its solutions. We present a version of this theory for canonical systems $Ju'=-zHu$ and then use it to

This paper studies the Schr\"odinger operator with Morse potential on a right half line [u, \infty) and determines the Weyl asymptotics of eigenvalues for constant boundary conditions. It obtains

The coefficient r for reflection above a barrier V(x) is computed semiclassically (i.e. as h(cross) to 0) employing an exact multiple-reflection series whose mth term is a (2m+1)-fold integral. If
