K. C. Shin The potential $(iz)^m$ generates real eigenvalues only, under symmetric rapid decay conditions (76K, LaTex2e with 1 eps figure) ABSTRACT. We consider the eigenvalue problems $-u"(z)\pm (iz)^m u(z)=\lambda u(z)$, $m\geq 3$, under every rapid decay boundary condition that is symmetric with respect to the imaginary axis in the complex $z$-plane. We prove that the eigenvalues $\lambda$ are all positive real.
