Abstract
Let q (x) be a positive function given on the interval I of the real axis; let P be the minimal operator generated in L2(0, +∞) by the differential expression P[·]=-d2/dx2+q(x); let Q be the operator of multiplication by the function q(x). If Dp* ⊂ Dq, then P [·] is said to be separated. In this note the separation of P[·] is proved for some growth regularity conditions on the fonction q (x), without assuming anything on its smoothness. One proves that if Dp* ⊂ DS, where S is the multiplication operator by the function s(x), satisfying some growth regularity condition, then DQ⊂ DS.
