Abstract
Sufficient conditions are derived for the self-adjointness of the Schrödinger operator in the whole of space and in bounded regions, without supplementary boundary conditions and without any requirements concerning the existence of a spherically symmetric minorant of the potential satisfying the Titchmarsh-Sears conditions.
