A survey of estimates on the number N-(\BM\a G) of negative eigenvalues (bound states) of the Sturm-Liouville operator \BM\a Gu=-u"-\a G on the half-line, as depending on the properties of the function G and the value of the coupling parameter \a>0. The central result is \thmrefS1/2a giving a sharp sufficient condition for the semi-classical behavior N-(\BM\a G)=O(\a1/2), and the necessary and sufficient conditions for a "super-classical" growth rate N-(\BM\a G)=O(\aq) with any given q>1/2. Similar results for the problem on the whole \R are also presented. Applications to the multi-dimensional spectral problems are discussed.
