Spectral Theory
We extend results of Damanik and Tcheremchantsev on estimating transport exponents to initial states supported on more than one site. These general results for upper and lower bounds are then applied to several classes of models, including…
We investigate tensor products of Hilbert complexes, in particular the (essential) spectrum of their Laplacians. It is shown that the essential spectrum of the Laplacian associated to the tensor product complex is computable in terms of the…
We derive a dispersion estimate for one-dimensional perturbed radial Schr\"odinger operators. We also derive several new estimates for solutions of the underlying differential equation and investigate the behavior of the Jost function near…
For the solution $q(t)$ to the one-dimensional continuous Schr\"odinger equation $${\rm i}\partial_t{q}(x,t)=-\partial_x^2 q(x,t) + V(\omega x) q(x,t), \quad x\in{\Bbb R},$$ with $\omega\in{\Bbb R}^d$ satisfying a Diophantine condition, and…
We study spectral properties of Schr\"odinger operators with $\delta$-interactions on a semi-axis by using the theory of boundary triplets and the corresponding Weyl functions. We establish a connection between spectral properties…
Finding the maximum eigenvalue of a symmetric tensor is an important topic in tensor computation and numerical multilinear algebra. This paper is devoted to a semi-definite program algorithm for computing the maximum $H$-eigenvalue of a…
For a particular family of long-range potentials $V$, we prove that the eigenvalues of the indefinite Sturm--Liouville operator $A = \mathrm{sign}(x)(-\Delta + V(x))$ accumulate to zero asymptotically along specific curves in the complex…
For any subgraph of a graph, the Laplacian with Neumann boundary condition was introduced by Chung and Yau [CY94]. In this paper, motivated by the Riemannian case, we introduce the Cheeger constants for Neumann problems and prove…
It is shown that for a given infinite graph $G$ on countably many vertices, and a compact, infinite set of real numbers $\Lambda$ there is a real symmetric matrix $A$ whose graph is $G$ and its spectrum is $\Lambda$. Moreover, the set of…
For a selfadjoint Schr\"odinger operator on the half line with a real-valued, integrable, and compactly-supported potential, it is investigated whether the boundary parameter at the origin and the potential can uniquely be determined by the…
The transmission eigenvalues corresponding to the half-line Schr\"odinger equation with the general selfadjoint boundary condition is analyzed when the potential is real valued, integrable, and compactly supported. It is shown that a…
We characterize the spectrum (and its parts) of operators which can be represented as G=A+BC for a simpler operator A and a structured perturbation BC. The interest in this kind of perturbations is motivated, e.g., by perturbations of the…
We study multi-frequency quasi-periodic Schr\"odinger operators on $\mathbb{Z}$ in the regime of positive Lyapunov exponent and for general analytic potentials. Combining Bourgain's semi-algebraic elimination of multiple resonances with the…
Szeg\H{o}'s First Limit Theorem provides the limiting statistical distribution (LSD) of the eigenvalues of large Toeplitz matrices. Szeg\H{o}'s Second (or Strong) Limit Theorem for Toeplitz matrices gives a second order correction to the…
We consider the Laplace operator in a planar waveguide, i.e., an infinite two-dimensional straight strip of constant width, with particular types of Robin boundary conditions. We study the essential spectrum of the corresponding Laplacian…
We prove that for a right linear bounded normal operator on a quaternionic Hilbert space (quaternionic bounded normal operator) the norm and the numerical radius are equal. As a consequence of this result we give a new proof of the known…
We consider Schr\"odinger operators with complex decaying potentials on the lattice. Using some classical results from Complex Analysis we obtain some trace formulae and using them estimate globally all zeros of the Fredholm determinant in…
We study the dependence of the eigenvalues of the biharmonic operator subject to Neumann boundary conditions on the Poisson's ratio. In particular, we prove that the Neumann eigenvalues are Lipschitz continuous with respect to $\sigma\in…
This article is a contribution to the spectral theory of so-called eventually positive operators, i.e.\ operators $T$ which may not be positive but whose powers $T^n$ become positive for large enough $n$. While the spectral theory of such…
The spectral shift function of a pair of self-adjoint operators is expressed via an abstract operator valued Titchmarsh--Weyl $m$-function. This general result is applied to different self-adjoint realizations of second-order elliptic…
