Levinson's theorem for the Klein-Gordon equation in one dimension

In terms of the modified Sturm-Liouville theorem, the Levinson theorem for the one-dimensional Klein-Gordon equation with a symmetric potential V(x) is established. It is shown that the number N₊ (N_-) of bound states with even (odd) parity is related to the phase shift of the scattering states with the same parity at zero momentum as and The solution of the one-dimensional Klein-Gordon equation with the energy M or -M is called as a half bound state if it is finite but does not decay fast enough at infinity to be square integrable.
