Spectral Theory
We formulate the inverse spectral theory of infinite gap Hill's operators with bounded periodic potential as a Riemann--Hilbert problem on a typically infinite collection of spectral bands and gaps. We establish a uniqueness theorem for…
Stimulated by the category theorems of Eisner and Ser\'eny in the setting of unitary and isometric $C_0$-semigroups on separable Hilbert spaces, we prove category theorems for Schr\"odinger semigroups. Specifically, we show that, to a given…
We extend a result of Davies and Nath on the location of eigenvalues of Schr\"odinger operators with slowly decaying complex-valued potentials to higher dimensions. In this context, we also discuss various examples related to the…
We consider a class of Jacobi matrices with unbounded entries in the so called critical (double root, Jordan box) case. We prove a formula for the spectral density of the matrix which relates its spectral density to the asymptotics of…
Inverse spectral problems are studied for first-order integro-differential operators on a finite interval. These problems consist in recovering some components of the kernel from one or multiple spectra. Uniqueness theorems are proved for…
Given a sequence of regular finite coverings of complete Riemannian manifolds, we consider the covering solenoid associated with the sequence. We study the leaf-wise Laplacian on the covering solenoid. The main result is that the spectrum…
Four new examples of explicitly diagonalizable Hankel matrices depending on a parameter $k\in(0,1)$ are presented. The Hankel matrices are regarded as matrix operators on the Hilbert space $\ell^{2}(\mathbb{N}_{0})$ and the solution of the…
We consider the family $\hat h_\mu:=\hat\varDelta\hat \varDelta - \mu \hat v,$ $\mu\in\mathbb{R}, $ of discrete Schr\"odinger-type operators in $d$-dimensional lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$, where $\hat \varDelta$ is the discrete Laplacian and…
We consider the family $$ \hat {\bf h}_\mu:=\hat\varDelta\hat \varDelta - \mu \hat {\bf v},\qquad\mu\in\mathbb{R}, $$ of discrete Schr\"odinger-type operators in one-dimensional lattice $\mathbb{Z}$, where $\hat \varDelta$ is the discrete…
In this paper we obtain bounds for the extreme entries of the principal eigenvector of hypergraphs; these bounds are computed using the spectral radius and some classical parameters such as maximum and minimum degrees. We also study…
In this communication, we prove some important limits of the principal eigenvalue for nonlocal operator of Neumann type with respect to the parameters, which are significant in the understanding of dynamics of biological populations. We…
We consider the problem of minimising or maximising the quantity $\lambda(\O)T^q(\O)$ on the class of open sets of prescribed Lebesgue measure. Here $q>0$ is fixed, $\lambda(\O)$ denotes the first eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian on…
We consider the problem of geometric optimization of the lowest eigenvalue for the Laplacian on a compact, simply-connected two-dimensional manifold with boundary subject to an attractive Robin boundary condition. We prove that in the…
In this expository article some spectral properties of self-adjoint differential operators are investigated. The main objective is to illustrate and (partly) review how one can construct domains or potentials such that the essential or…
We introduce a class of Jacobi operators with discrete spectra which is characterized by a simple convergence condition. With any operator J from this class we associate a characteristic function as an analytic function on a suitable…
We determine the spectrum of the sub-Laplacian on pseudo H-type nilmanifolds and present pairs of isospectral but non-diffeomorphic nilmanifolds with respect to the sub-Laplacian. We observe that these pairs are also isospectral with…
We consider Jacobi matrices whose essential spectrum is a finite union of closed intervals. We focus on Szego's theorem, Jost solutions, and Szego asymptotics for this situation. This announcement describes talks the authors gave at OPSFA…
We develop here an algorithmic framework for constructing consistent multiscale Laplacian eigenfunctions (vectors) on data. Consequently, we address the unsupervised machine learning task of finding scalar functions capturing consistent…
We study the spectrum of the Robin Laplacian with a complex Robin parameter $\alpha$ on a bounded Lipschitz domain $\Omega$. We start by establishing a number of properties of the corresponding operator, such as generation properties, local…
Let $G$ be a graph on $n$ vertices and $\lambda_1,\lambda_2,\ldots,\lambda_n$ its eigenvalues. The Estrada index of $G$ is an invariant that is calculated from the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of a graph. In this paper, we present…
