We consider the dominant $c\bar{c}$ contribution to $\Delta \Gamma$ for the $B_s^0$-$\bar{B}_s^0$ system in the heavy quark limit for both $b$ and $c$ quarks. In analogy with the Bjorken-Isgur-Wise sum rule in semileptonic heavy hadron decay, we impose duality between the parton model calculation of $\Delta \Gamma$ and its estimation by a sum over heavy mesons. Varying the mass ratio $m_c/m_b$ and assuming factorization and saturation by narrow resonances $(N_c \to \infty$), we obtain new sum rules that involve the Isgur-Wise functions $\xi^{(n)}(w)$ and $\tau^{(n)}_{1/2}(w)$ and the decay constants $f^{(n)}$, $f^{(n)}_{1/2}$ ($n$ stands for any radial excitation). Alternatively, we deduce the sum rules with another method free of the factorization hypothesis, from the saturation of the expectation value of a product of two currents by heavy hadrons and by the corresponding free quarks. The sum rules read $\sum\limits_{n}{f^{(n)} \over f^{(0)}} \xi^{(n)}(w) = 2 \sum\limits_{n}{f^{(n)}_{1/2} \over f^{(0)}} \tau^{(n)}_{1/2}(w) = 1$, valid for all $w$. Moreover, we obtain, in the heavy quark limit, $f^{(n)}_{3/2} = 0$. As a consequence, unlike the BIW sum rule, the slope of the elastic function $\xi (w)$ is related to radial excitations alone. These are generalizations, rigorous for QCD in the heavy quark limit, of results that have an easy understanding in the non-relativistic quark model.
