Dirac operators on the half-line: stability of spectrum and non-relativistic limit

We consider Dirac operators on the half-line, subject to generalised infinite-mass boundary conditions. We derive sufficient conditions which guarantee the stability of the spectrum against possibly non-self-adjoint potential perturbations and study the optimality of the obtained results. Finally, we establish a non-relativistic limit which makes a relationship of the present model to the Robin Laplacian on the half-line.
