Abstract
The theory of subordinacy is extended to all one-dimensional Schrödinger operatorsfor which the corresponding differential expression L = – d2/(dr2) + V(r) is in the limit point case at both ends of an interval (a, b), with V(r) locally integrable. This enables a detailed classification of the absolutely continuous and singular spectra to be established in terms of the relative asymptotic behaviour of solutions of Lu = xu, x εℝ, as r→a and r→b. The result provides a rigorous but straightforward method of direct spectral analysis which has very general application, and somefurther properties of the spectrum are deduced from the underlying theory.
