Abstract

We establish the attainability of the infimum m γ for the minimal eigenvalues of the boundary-value problems

$ - y'' + qy = \lambda y, y'(0) = y'(1) = 0,$

as the nonnegative potential qL 1[0, 1] ranges over the unit sphere of the space L γ[0, 1], where γ ∈ (0, 1). We also establish that, for γ ≤ 1 − 2π −2, the equality m γ holds and that, otherwise, the inequality m γ is valid.
