Some sufficient asymptotic formulae for lower energy levels are obtained in a simple example. The ideology of our research is based on an abstract theorem connecting modes and quasi-modes of some self-adjoint operator A and some more detailed investigation of low energy levels in one well (in Rd).</p></abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Shrodinger operator</kwd><kwd>potential</kwd><kwd>splitting</kwd><kwd>eigenvalues and eigenfunctions</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Arnol’d V.I., Modes and quasimodes.
