Synopsis

In this paper, we prove that a positive perturbation T = T0 + q (q ≧ 0 and in ) of an essentially self-adjoint Schrödinger operator T0 = −Δ + q0 on is again essentially self-adjoint if T is relatively bounded with respect to T0. An application of the method of the proof to positive approximations of elements u ≧ 0 in D(T) by a positive sequence in is given.
