The present paper is concerned with the infimum of the norm of potentials for Sturm–Liouville eigenvalue problems with Dirichlet boundary condition such that the first two eigenvalues are known. The explicit quantity of the infimum is given by the two eigenvalues.

Summary

We provide a brief, but self-contained, introduction to the theory of self-adjoint operators. In a first section we give the relevant definitions, including that of the spectrum of a self-adjoint operator, and we discuss the proof of the spectral theorem. In a second section, we discuss the connection between lower semibounded, self-adjoint operators and lower semibounded, closed quadratic forms, and we derive the variational characterization of eigenvalues in the form of Glazman’s lemma and of the Courant–Fischer–Weyl min-max principle. Furthermore, we discuss continuity properties of Riesz means and present in abstract form the Birman–Schwinger principle.
