Spectral Theory

We consider Sturm-Liouville problems with a discontinuity in an interior point, which are motivated by the inverse problems for the torsional modes of the Earth. We assume that the potential on the right half-interval and the coefficient in…

We consider the double layer potential (Neumann-Poincar\'e) operator appearing in 3-dimensional elasticity. We show that the recent result about the polynomial compactness of this operator for the case of a homogeneous media follows without…

For scattering off a smooth, strictly convex obstacle $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ with positive curvature, we show that the eigenvalues of the scattering matrix -- the phase shifts -- equidistribute on the unit circle as the frequency $k…

We discuss inverse resonance scattering for the Laplacian on a rotationally symmetric manifold $M = (0,\infty) \times Y$ whose rotation radius is constant outside some compact interval. The Laplacian on $M$ is unitarily equivalent to a…

Several recent papers have focused their attention in proving the correct analogue to the Lieb-Thirring inequalities for non self-adjoint operators and in finding bounds on the distribution of their eigenvalues in the complex plane. This…

We present asymptotically sharp inequalities, containing a second term, for the Dirichlet and Neumann eigenvalues of the Laplacian on a domain, which are complementary to the familiar Berezin-Li-Yau and Kr\"oger inequalities in the limit as…

Let $H$ be a generalized Schr\"odinger operator on a domain of a non-compact connected Riemannian manifold, and a generalized eigenfunction $u$ for $H$: that is, $u$ satisfies the equation $Hu=\lambda u$ in the weak sense but is not…

This paper is concerned with the stability of deficiency indices of Hermitian subspaces (i.e., linear relations) under relatively bounded perturbations in Hilbert spaces. Several results about invariance of deficiency indices of Hermitian…

In this work, we find the asymptotic formulas for the sum of the negative eigenvalues smaller than $-\varepsilon$ $(\varepsilon >0)$ of a self-adjoint operator $L$ which is defined by the following differential expression…

A bounded linear operator $T$ on a Banach space $X$ is said to be generalized Drazin-meromorphic invertible if there exists a bounded linear operator $S$ acting on $X$ such that $TS=ST$, $STS=S$, $ TST-T$ is meromorphic. We shall say that…

A g-circulant matrix of order n is defined as a matrix of order n where each row is a right cyclic shift in g-places to the preceding row. Using number theory, certain nonnegative g-circulant real matrices are constructed. In particular, it…

We study spectral properties of two-dimensional canonical systems $y'(t)=zJH(t)y(t)$, $t\in[a,b)$, where the Hamiltonian $H$ is locally integrable on $[a,b)$, positive semidefinite, and Weyl's limit point case takes place at $b$. We answer…

We study the spectrum of some periodic differential operators, in particular the periodic Schr\"{o}dinger operator acting on infinite $n$-cubic graphs. Using Floquet-Bloch theory, we derive and analyze on the dispersion relations of the…

We consider a quadratic operator pencil with a small periodic perturbation multiplied by the spectral parameter. It is motivated, in particular, by a one-dimensional Klein-Gordon equation with a time-parity-symmetric perturbation. We study…

We study the eigenvalues of the connection Laplacian on a graph with an orthogonal group or unitary group signature. We establish higher order Buser type inequalities, i.e., we provide upper bounds for eigenvalues in terms of Cheeger…

We discuss a Cheeger constant as a mixture of the frustration index and the expansion rate, and prove the related Cheeger inequalities and higher order Cheeger inequalities for graph Laplacians with cyclic signatures, discrete magnetic…

We derive an optimal eigenvalue ratio estimate for finite weighted graphs satisfying the curvature-dimension inequality $CD(0,\infty)$. This estimate is independent of the size of the graph and provides a general method to obtain higher…

We define a (pseudo-)distance between graphs based on the spectrum of the normalized Laplacian, which is easy to compute or to estimate numerically. It can therefore serve as a rough classification of large empirical graphs into families…

By assigning a probability measure via the spectrum of the normalized Laplacian to each graph and using L^p Wasserstein distances between probability measures, we define the corresponding spectral distances d_p on the set of all graphs.…

We study the spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian on an unbounded twisted tube with twisting velocity exploding to infinity. If the tube cross section does not intersect the axis of rotation, then its spectrum is purely discrete under some…
