Suppose ${\chi }_1$ and ${\chi }_2$ are two bound-state solutions with the same energy. Their Wronskiansatisfies $W^{\prime }=0$ because the Schrodinger equation contains no first-derivative term. Hence $W$ is constant. Both wavefunctions and their derivatives decay at infinity, so $W\to 0$ there and therefore $W\equiv 0$. The two solutions are linearly dependent. Thus every one-dimensional bound-state energy is nondegenerate.
