Abstract

Let \({\mathcal {H}}_{\alpha }=\Delta -(\alpha -1)|x|^{\alpha }\) be an \([1,\infty )\ni \alpha \)-Hermite operator for the hydrogen atom located at the origin in \({\mathbb {R}}^d\). In this paper, we are motivated by the classical case \(\alpha =1\) to investigate the space of functions with \(\alpha \)-Hermite Bounded Variation and its functional capacity and geometrical perimeter.
