Spectral Theory

We prove that in dimension $n \geq 2$, within the collection of unit measure cuboids in $\mathbb{R}^n$ (i.e. domains of the form $\prod_{i=1}^{n}(0, a_n)$), any sequence of minimising domains $R_k^\mathcal{D}$ for the Dirichlet eigenvalues…

The analysis of signals defined over a graph is relevant in many applications, such as social and economic networks, big data or biological networks, and so on. A key tool for analyzing these signals is the so called Graph Fourier Transform…

We consider a class of compact Toeplitz operators on the Bergman space on the unit disk. The symbols of operators in our class are assumed to have a sufficiently regular power-like behaviour near the boundary of the disk. We compute the…

We consider a general second-order elliptic differential operator on a domain with a cylindrical end. We impose Dirichlet boundary conditions on the boundary with the exception of a small set, where we impose Neumann boundary conditions.…

We prove the completeness of the generalized (interior) transmission eigenstates for the acoustic and Schr\"odinger equations. The method uses the ellipticity theory of Agranovich and Vishik.

Given the Laplacian on a planar, convex domain with piecewise linear boundary subject to mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions, we provide a sufficient condition for its lowest eigenvalue to dominate the lowest eigenvalue of the…

We provide several inequalities between eigenvalues of some classical eigenvalue problems on domains with $C^2$ boundary in complete Riemannian manifolds. A key tool in the proof is the generalized Rellich identity on a Riemannian manifold.…

We consider harmonic Toeplitz operators $T_V = PV:{\mathcal H}(\Omega) \to {\mathcal H}(\Omega)$ where $P: L^2(\Omega) \to {\mathcal H}(\Omega)$ is the orthogonal projection onto ${\mathcal H}(\Omega) = \left\{u \in L^2(\Omega)\,|\,\Delta u…

We establish Lieb-Thirring power bounds on discrete eigenvalues of Jacobi operators for Schatten class complex perturbations of periodic and more generally finite gap Jacobi matrices.

We establish Lieb-Thirring power bounds on discrete eigenvalues of Jacobi operators for Schatten class perturbations under very general assumptions. Our results apply, in particular, to perturbations of reflectionless Jacobi operators with…

We study L-systems with sectorial main operator and connections of their impedance functions with sectorial Stieltjes and inverse Stieltjes functions. Conditions when the main and state space operators (the main and associated state space…

The Maslov index is a powerful tool for computing spectra of selfadjoint, elliptic boundary value problems. This is done by counting intersections of a fixed Lagrangian subspace, which designates the boundary condition, with the set of…

A Helson matrix (also known as a multiplicative Hankel matrix) is an infinite matrix with entries $\{a(jk)\}$ for $j,k\geq1$. Here the $(j,k)$'th term depends on the product $jk$. We study a self-adjoint Helson matrix for a particular…

Let us say that an $n$-sided polygon is semi-regular if it is circumscriptible and its angles are all equal but possibly one, which is then larger than the rest. Regular polygons, in particular, are semi-regular. We prove that semi-regular…

Let $M$ be a compact boundaryless Riemannian manifold, carrying an effective and isometric action of a compact Lie group $G$, and $P_0$ an invariant elliptic classical pseudodifferential operator on $M$. Using Fourier integral operator…

We build a semi-classical quantization procedure for finite volume man- ifolds with hyperbolic cusps, adapted to a geometrical class of symbols. We prove an Egorov Lemma until Ehrenfest times on such manifolds. Then we give a version of…

We study the spectral linear elasticity problem in an unbounded periodic waveguide, which consists of a sequence of identical bounded cells connected by thin ligaments of diameter of order $ h >0$. The essential spectrum of the problem is…

We explore the sparsity of Weyl-Titchmarsh $m$-functions of discrete Schr\"odinger operators. Due to this, the set of their $m$-functions cannot be dense on the set of those for Jacobi operators. All this reveals why an inverse spectral…

Defining a sound shift operator for signals existing on a certain graph structure, similar to the well-defined shift operator in classical signal processing, is a crucial problem in graph signal processing, since almost all operations, such…

In the Euclidean space of any dimension d, we consider the heat semigroup generated by the magnetic Schroedinger operator from which an inverse-square potential is subtracted in order to make the operator critical in the magnetic-free case.…
