Abstract

It is shown that bounded solutions of Bloch type with respect to the variablesx 1,x 2 for a Schrödinger equation in which the potential is periodic in the half-space {x 3≥0} and decreases exponentially asx 3→−∞ can be approximated by the solutions of the Schrödinger equation for a “thick film” when the number of its layers tends to infinity. Under certain conditions, this makes it possible to find the number of linearly independent solutions of such kind.
