Abstract: Consider the equation

$\displaystyle {(^*)\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad \frac12\Delta u-Vu=0 \text{ in }R^d, \qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad}$

for $ d\ge3$. For certain classes of potentials $ V$, we use probabilistic tools to study the bounded solutions and the positive solutions for (*). A primary motivation is to offer probabilistic intuition for the results.
