ABSTRACT We discuss estimates on the number $N_-(\alpha)$ of negative eigenvalues of the Schr\"odinger operator $-\Delta-\alpha V$ on regular metric trees, as depending on the properties of the potential $V\ge 0$ and on the value of the large parameter $\alpha$. We obtain conditions on $V$ guaranteeing the behavior $N_-(\alpha)=O(\alpha^p)$ for any given $p\ge 1/2$. For a special class of trees we show that these conditions are not only sufficient but also necessary. For $p>1/2$ the order-sharp estimates involve a (quasi-)norm of $V$ in some `weak' $L_p$- or $\ell_p(L_1)$-space. We show that the results can be easily derived from the ones of an earlier paper by Naimark and the author, Proc. London Math. Soc. (3) 80 (2000), 690-724. The results considerably improve the estimates found in the recent paper by Ekholm, Frank, and Kova\v{r}\'{i}k, arXive:0710.5500.

• ##### Article: On the spectrum of the Laplacian on regular metric trees
[hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A metric tree Ggr is a tree whose edges are viewed as non-degenerate line segments. The Laplacian \bDelta on such a tree is the operator of second order differentiation on each edge, complemented by the Kirchhoff matching conditions at the vertices. The spectrum of \bDelta can be quite varied, reflecting the geometry of a tree. We consider a special class of trees, namely the so-called regular metric trees. Any such tree Ggr possesses a rich group of symmetries. As a result, the space L2(Ggr) decomposes into the orthogonal sum of subspaces reducing the operator \bDelta . This leads to detailed spectral analysis of \bDelta . We survey recent results on this subject.

##### Article: Eigenvalue estimates for Schrödinger operators on metric trees
[hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We consider Schrödinger operators on radial metric trees and prove Lieb–Thirring and Cwikel–Lieb–Rozenblum inequalities for their negative eigenvalues. The validity of these inequalities depends on the volume growth of the tree. We show that the bounds are valid in the endpoint case and reflect the correct order in the weak or strong coupling limit.
