Abstract
The integrated density of states (IDS) for the Schrodinger operators is def ined in two ways: by using the counting function of eigenvalues of the oper ator restricted to bounded regions with appropriate boundary conditions or by using the spectral projection of the whole space operator. A sufficient condition for the coincidence of the two definitions above is given. Moreov er, a sufficient condition for the coincidence of the IDS for the Dirichlet boundary conditions and the IDS for the Neumann boundary conditions is giv en. The proof is based only on the fundamental items in functional analysis , such as the min-max principle, etc.
