An unusual eigenvalue problem

Mathematical Physics 2010-05-17 v1 math.MP

Abstract

We discuss an eigenvalue problem which arises in the studies of asymptotic stability of a self-similar attractor in the sigma model. This problem is rather unusual from the viewpoint of the spectral theory of linear operators and requires special methods to solve it. One of such methods based on continued fractions is presented in detail and applied to determine the eigenvalues.
