Sharp Computational Bounds for Spectral Types of Schrödinger Operators

We prove sharp bounds for determining the spectral-type decomposition of Schrödinger operators in the spirit of Smale's program on the foundations of computation. For explicit one-dimensional self-adjoint Schrödinger operators $H=-{\mathrm d^2}/{\mathrm dx^2}+V$ on $L^2(\mathbb R)$, where $V\in C^\i
