Multiplicities of Eigenvalues of the Diffusion Operator with Random Jumps from the Boundary

Spectral Theory 2018-02-02 v1

Abstract

This paper deals with a non-self-adjoint differential operator which is associated with a diffusion process with random jumps from the boundary. Our main result is that the algebraic multiplicity of an eigenvalue is equal to its order as a zero of the characteristic function Δ(λ)\Delta(\lambda) . This can be used to determine the multiplicities of eigenvalues for concrete operators.
