Spectral Theory

We consider a model of planar PT-symmetric waveguide and study the phenomenon of the eigenvalues collision under the perturbation of boundary conditions. This phenomenon was discovered numerically in previous works. The main result of this…

We consider eigenvalue problems for general elliptic operators of arbitrary order subject to homogeneous boundary conditions on open subsets of the euclidean N-dimensional space. We prove stability results for the dependence of the…

First we study the spectral singularity at infinity and investigate the connections of the spectral singularities and the spectrality of the Hill operator. Then we consider the spectral expansion when there is not the spectral singularity…

We consider the two-dimensional Pauli operator perturbed by a weakly coupled, attractive potential. We show that besides the eigenvalues arising from the Aharonov-Casher zero modes there are two or one (depending on whether the flux of the…

We consider perturbations of Dirac type operators on complete, connected metric spaces equipped with a doubling measure. Under a suitable set of assumptions, we prove quadratic estimates for such operators and hence deduce that these…

We prove a Hardy inequality for uniformly elliptic operators subject to Dirichlet or mixed boundary conditions on domains $\Omega$ with piecewiese smooth boundary in arbitrary Riemannian Manifolds (M, g). Employing an approach of E.B.…

For an $m$-order $n-$dimensional Hilbert tensor (hypermatrix) $\mathcal{H}_n=(\mathcal{H}_{i_1i_2\cdots i_m})$, $$\mathcal{H}_{i_1i_2\cdots i_m}=\frac1{i_1+i_2+\cdots+i_m-m+1},\ i_1,\cdots, i_m=1,2,\cdots,n$$ its spectral radius is not…

The numerical radius of the general $2\times2$ complex matrix is calculated.

We consider Laplacians on periodic equilateral metric graphs. The spectrum of the Laplacian consists of an absolutely continuous part (which is a union of an infinite number of non-degenerated spectral bands) plus an infinite number of flat…

Hankel tensors arise from applications such as signal processing. In this paper, we make an initial study on Hankel tensors. For each Hankel tensor, we associate it with a Hankel matrix and a higher order two-dimensional symmetric tensor,…

We study the distribution of eigenvalues for selfadjoint $h$--pseudodifferential operators in dimension two, arising as perturbations of selfadjoint operators with a periodic classical flow. When the strength $\varepsilon$ of the…

The paper is concerned with the completeness property of root functions of general boundary value problems for $n \times n$ first order systems of ordinary differential equations on a finite interval. In comparison with the recent paper…

We consider a variable order differential operator on a graph with a cycle. We study the inverse spectral problem for this operator by the system of spectra. The main results of the paper are the uniqueness theorem and the constructive…

We consider a class of singular Schr\"odinger operators $H$ that act in $L^2(0,\infty)$, each of which is constructed from a positive function $\phi$ on $(0,\infty)$. Our analysis is direct and elementary. In particular it does not mention…

We utilize the theory of de Branges spaces to show when certain Schr\"odinger operators with strongly singular potentials are uniquely determined by their associated spectral measure. The results are applied to obtain an inverse uniqueness…

We describe some aspects of spectral theory that involve algebraic considerations but need no analysis. Some of the important applications of the results are to the algebra of $n\times n$ matrices with entries that are polynomials or more…

We prove that the eigenvalues of a certain highly non-self-adjoint operator that arises in fluid mechanics correspond, up to scaling by a positive constant, to those of a self-adjoint operator with compact resolvent; hence there are…

We study the adiabatic limit of the eta invariant of the Dirac operator over cofinite quotient of PSL(2,R), which is a noncompact manifold with a nonexact fibred-cusp metric near the ends.

Let $G$ be an undirected graph on $n$ vertices and let $S(G)$ be the set of all $n \times n$ real symmetric matrices whose nonzero off-diagonal entries occur in exactly the positions corresponding to the edges of $G$. The inverse eigenvalue…

Let P be a linear, second order, elliptic operator satisfying a Hardy inequality with potential W (i.e. $P-W\geq0$) and best constant $\alpha$. We give conditions so that the spectrum of $W^{-1}P$ is $[\alpha,\infty)$. We apply this to…
