Abstract
In 1956, ˚ A. Pleijel gave his celebrated theorem showing that the inequality in Courant's theorem on the number of nodal domains is strict for large eigenvalues of the Laplacian. This was a consequence of a stronger result giving an asymptotic upper bound for the number of nodal domains of the eigenfunction as the eigenvalue tends to +∞. A similar question occurs naturally for the case of the Schrodinger operator. The first significant result has been obtained recently by the first author for the case of the harmonic oscilllator. The purpose of this paper is to consider more general potentials which are radial. We will analyze either the case when the potential tends to +∞ or the 1 case when the potential tends to zero, the considered eigenfunctions being associated with the eigenvalues below the essential spectrum.
