Spectral Theory

Using the method of similar operators we study an even order differential operator with periodic, semiperiodic, and Dirichlet boundary conditions. We obtain asymptotic formulas for eigenvalues of this operator and estimates for its spectral…

We survey results concerning the spectral properties of limit-periodic operators. The main focus is on discrete one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators, but other classes of operators, such as Jacobi and CMV matrices, continuum…

An integro-differential Dirac system with an integral term in the form of convolution is considered. We suppose that the convolution kernel is known a priori on a part of the interval, and recover it on the remaining part, using a part of…

The inverse scattering problem for the Schr$\mathrm{\ddot{o}}$dinger operators on the line is considered when the potential is real valued and integrable and has a finite first moment. It is shown that the potential on the line is uniquely…

We construct rich families of Schr\"odinger operators on symmetric graphs, both quantum and combinatorial, whose spectral degeneracies are persistently larger than the maximal dimension of an irreducible representations of the symmetry…

In this paper we consider the three-dimensional Schr\"{o}dinger operator with a $\delta$-interaction of strength $\alpha > 0$ supported on an unbounded surface parametrized by the mapping $\mathbb{R}^2\ni x\mapsto (x,\beta f(x))$, where…

We continue to study $\alpha$-times integrated semigroups. Essentially, we characterize the different spectrums of $\alpha$-times integrated semigroups by the spectrums of their generators. Particulary quasi-Fredholm, Kato, essentially…

We define a distance between energy forms on a graph-like metric measure space and on a discrete weighted graph using the concept of quasi-unitary equivalence. We apply this result to metric graphs and graph-like manifolds (e.g. a small…

In this article, we consider the semiclassical Schr\"odinger operator $P = - h^{2} \Delta + V$ in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ with confining non-negative potential $V$ which vanishes, and study its low-lying eigenvalues $\lambda_{k} ( P )$ as $h \to…

We consider second-order functional differential operators with a constant delay. Properties of their spectral characteristics are obtained and a nonlinear inverse problem is studied, which consists in recovering the operators from their…

In this paper we study multipliers associated to the harmonic oscillator (also called Hermite multipliers) belonging to the ideal of $r$-nuclear operators on Lebesgue spaces. We also study the nuclear trace and the spectral trace of these…

Since the publication of the important work of Rauch and Taylor (Potential and scattering theory on wildly perturbed domains, JFA, 1975) a lot has been done to analyse wild perturbations of the Laplace operator. Here we present results…

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…

We establish precise spectral criteria for potential functions $V$ of reflectionless Schr\"odinger operators $L_V = -\partial_x^2 + V$ to admit solutions to the Korteweg de-Vries (KdV) hierarchy with $V$ as an initial value. More generally,…

We consider Jacobi matrices with eventually increasing sequences of diagonal and off-diagonal Jacobi parameters. We describe the asymptotic behavior of the subordinate solution at the top of the essential spectrum, and the asymptotic…

Systems-conjugate points have been introduced and studied by John Barrett \cite{barr} in relation with the self-adjoint fourth order differential equation $$(r(x)y")"-(q(x)y')'= p(x)y,$$ where $r(x)>0$, $p(x)>0$ and $q\equiv0$. In this…

Let $A$ be an elliptic pseudodifferential operator of positive order on a compact closed manifold, and let $T$ be a pseudodifferential operator of negative order such that $T^m$ is of trace class. We compute $\log\det(A(I+T))-\log\det…

A bounded operator $T$ in a Banach space $X$ is said to satisfy the essential descent spectrum equality, if the descent spectrum of $T$ as an operator on $X$ coincides with the essential descent spectrum of $T$. In this note, we give some…

Let $\mathcal{B}(X)$ be the algebra of all bounded operators acting on an infinite dimensional complex Banach space $X$. We say that an operator $T \in \mathcal{B}(X)$ satisfies the problem of descent spectrum equality, if the descent…

In this paper, we consider the asymptotic behavior for the principal eigenvalue of an elliptic operator with piecewise constant coefficients. This problem was first studied by Friedman in 1980. We show how the geometric shape of the…
