Spectral Theory
The celebrated Cwikel-Lieb_Rozenblum inequality gives an upper estimate for the number of negative eigenvalues of Schroedinger operators in dimension three and higher. The situation is much more difficult in the two dimensional case. There…
In this paper, we study B-Fredholm elements in rings and algebras. After characterising these elements in terms of generalized Fredholm elements, we will give a condition on the socle of a unital primitive Banach algebra $A$, under which we…
We consider a non-selfadjoint $h$-differential model operator $P_h$ in the semiclassical limit ($h\rightarrow 0$) subject to random perturbations with a small coupling constant $\delta$. Assume that $\exp(-\frac{1}{Ch}) < \delta \ll…
On a finite connected metric graph, we establish upper bounds for the eigenvalues of the Laplacian. These bounds depend on the length, the Betti number, and the number of pendant vertices. For trees, these estimates are sharp. We also…
A Hankel tensor is called a strong Hankel tensor if the Hankel matrix generated by its generating vector is positive semi-definite. It is known that an even order strong Hankel tensor is a sum-of-squares tensor, and thus a positive…
In this paper we study spectral properties of Jacobi operators. In particular, we prove two main results: (1) that perturbing the diagonal coefficients of Jacobi operator, in an appropriate sense, results in exponential localization, and…
We consider the asymptotics of the determinants of large discrete Schr\"odinger operators, i.e. "discrete Laplacian $+$ diagonal": \[T_n(f) = -[\delta_{j,j+1}+\delta_{j+1,j}] + \mbox{diag}\left(f\left(\frac{1}{n}\right),…
An operator matrix $H$ associated with a lattice system describing three particles in interactions, without conservation of the number of particles, is considered. The structure of the essential spectrum of $H$ is described by the spectra…
We consider a generalization of the three spectral inverse problem, that is, for given spectrum of the Dirichlet-Dirichlet problem (the Sturm-Liouville problem with Dirichlet conditions at both ends) on the whole interval $[0,a]$, parts of…
In this paper, inverse spectral problems for Sturm-Liouville operators on a tree (a graph without cycles) are studied. We show that if the potential on an edge is known a priori, then b - 1 spectral sets uniquely determine the potential…
Inequalities for the eigenvalues of the (negative) Laplacian subject to mixed boundary conditions on polyhedral and more general bounded domains are established. The eigenvalues subject to a Dirichlet boundary condition on a part of the…
In the first part of this paper we provide a self-contained introduction to (regularized) perturbation determinants for operators in Banach spaces. In the second part, we use these determinants to derive new bounds on the discrete…
In this paper, we present the development of a many-knot spline method derived to remove the statistical noise in the spectroscopic data. This method is an expansion of the B-spline method. Compared to the B-spline method, the many-knot…
We prove that for Diophantine \om and almost every \th, the almost Mathieu operator, (H_{\omega,\lambda,\theta}\Psi)(n)=\Psi(n+1) + \Psi(n-1) + \lambda\cos 2\pi(\omega n +\theta)\Psi(n), exhibits localization for \lambda > 2 and purely…
The absolutely continuous spectrum of one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators is proved to be stable under perturbation by potentials satisfying mild decay conditions. In particular, the absolutely continuous spectrum of free and periodic…
We prove new results on the stability of the absolutely continuous spectrum for perturbed Stark operators with decaying or satisfying certain smoothness assumption perturbation. We show that the absolutely continuous spectrum of the Stark…
The present investigation concerns a disc of varying thickness of whose flexural stiffness $D$ varies with the radius $r$ according to the law $D=D_0 r^m$, where $D_0$ and $m$ are constants. The problem of finding boundary conditions for…
We study a family of differential operators $L_\alpha$ in two variables, depending on the coupling parameter $\alpha\ge0$ that appears only in the boundary conditions. Our main concern is the spectral properties of $L_\alpha$, which turn…
We consider the Schr\"odinger operator on the real line with a $N\ts N$ matrix valued periodic potential, N>1. The spectrum of this operator is absolutely continuous and consists of intervals separated by gaps. We define the Lyapunov…
We find a Hermite-type basis for which the eigenvalue problem associated to the operator $H_{A,B}:=B(-\partial_x^2)+Ax^2$ acting on $L^2({\bf R};{\bf C}^2)$ becomes a three-terms recurrence. Here $A$ and $B$ are two constant positive…
