Abstract
The aim of this paper is to study the existence of eigenvalues in the gap of the essential spectrum of the one-dimensional Dirac operator in the presence of a bounded potential. We employ a generalized variational principle to prove existence of such eigenvalues, estimate how many eigenvalues there are, and give upper and lower bounds for them.
