The Essential Self-Adjointness of Schrodinger-Type Operators.
Abstract
The paper gives conditions under which a formally self-adjoint second-order elliptic differential operator (R sup m) has a unique self-adjoint extension. The major conditions on the coefficients are imposed only in an increasing sequence of shell-like regions surrounding the origin, and the link with the quantum-mechanical interpretation in the case of the Schrodinger operator is discussed.
