Abstract

The paper is devoted to exponential estimates of eigenfunctions of the discrete spectrum of matrix Schrödinger operators with variable potentials, and Dirac operators for nonhomogeneous media with variable light speed and variable electric and magnetic potentials, For the study of exponential estimates we apply methods developed in our recent paper [25].
