Abstract

We obtain two-sided bounds on kinetic and potential energies of a bound state
of a quantum particle in the semiclassical limit, as the Planck constant
$\hbar\ri 0$.

Proofs of these results rely on the generalized virial theorem obtained in
the paper as well as on a decay of eigenfunctions in the classically forbidden
region.
