Anharmonic Oscillators with Infinitely Many Real Eigenvalues and PT-Symmetry

We study the eigenvalue problem −u''+V(z)u=λu in the complex plane with the boundary condition that u(z) decays to zero as z tends to infinity along the two rays arg z=−π/2± 2π(m+2), where V(z)=−(iz)^m−P(iz) for complex-valued polynomials P of degree at most m−1≥2. We provide an asymptotic...
