Sufficient conditions for the existence of bound states in a central potential

Show affiliations


We show how a large class of sufficient conditions for the existence of bound states, in non-positive central potentials, can be constructed. These sufficient conditions yield upper limits on the critical value, g(ell)c, of the coupling constant (strength), g, and of the potential, V(r) = −gv(r), for which a first ell-wave bound state appears. These upper limits are significantly more stringent than hitherto known results.
