Spectral Theory

We consider perturbations of quasi-periodic Schr\"odinger operators on the integer lattice with analytic sampling functions by decaying potentials and seek decay conditions under which various spectral properties are preserved. In the…

We find the spectrum and eigenvectors of an arbitrary irreducible complex tridiagonal matrix with two-periodic main diagonal provided that the spectrum and eigenvectors of the matrix with the same sub- and superdiagonals and zero main…

The spectral and scattering properties of non-selfadjoint problems pose a mathematical challenge. Apart from exceptional cases, the well-developed methods used to examine the spectrum of selfadjoint problems are not applicable. One of the…

We establish spectral enclosures and spectral approximation results for the inhomogeneous lossy Drude-Lorentz system with purely imaginary poles, in a possibly unbounded Lipschitz domain of $\mathbb{R}^3$. Under the assumption that the…

We propose a probabilistic representation of the ground states of massive and massless Schr\"{o}dinger operators with a potential well in which the behaviour inside the well is described in terms of the moment generating function of the…

We prove that the Laptev--Safronov conjecture (Comm. Math. Phys., 2009) is false in the range that is not covered by Frank's positive result (Bull. Lond. Math. Soc., 2011). The simple counterexample is adaptable to a large class of…

We study convergence of the spectral shift function for the finite interval restrictions of a pair of full-line Schr\"odinger operators to an interval of the form $(-\ell,\ell)$ with coupled boundary conditions at the endpoints as $\ell\to…

In the present paper several bounds on multiplicities of eigenvalues of the Laplacian operator on surfaces are generalized from the case of either closed surface or simply-connected planar domain to the case of a surface of positive genus…

A short proof of the elliptical range theorem concerning the numerical range of $2\times2$ complex matrices is given.

In this paper we show how the method of parallel coordinates can be extended to three dimensions. As an application, we prove the conjecture of Antunes, Freitas and Krej\v{c}i\v{r}\'ik \cite{AFK} that "the ball maximises the first Robin…

The Fueter mapping theorem gives a constructive way to extend holomorphic functions of one complex variable to monogenic functions, i.e., null solutions of the generalized Cauchy-Riemann operator in $\mathbb{R}^4$, denoted by $\mathcal{D}$.…

We prove that the Weyl function of the one-dimensional Dirac operator on the half-line $\mathbb{R}_+$ with exponentially decaying entropy extends meromorphically into the horizontal strip $\{0\ge \mbox{Im}\,z > -\delta\}$ for some $\delta >…

We prove that a bounded linear operator $T$ is a direct sum of an invertible operator and an operator with at most countable spectrum iff $0\notin\mbox{acc}^{\omega_{1}}\,\sigma(T),$ where $\omega_{1}$ is the smallest uncountable ordinal…

This paper investigates the spectral properties of Jacobi matrices with limit-periodic coefficients. We show that for a residual set of such matrices, the spectrum is a Cantor set of zero Lebesgue measure, and the spectral measures are…

Self-adjoint Toeplitz operators have purely absolutely continuous spectrum. For Toeplitz operators $T$ with piecewise continuous symbols, we suggest a further spectral classification determined by propagation properties of the operator $T$,…

Intertwining analysis, algebra, numerical analysis and optimization, computing conjugate co-gradients of real-valued quotients gives rise to eigenvalue problems. In the linear Hermitian case, by inspecting optimal quotients in terms of…

We develop the theory of torsional rigidity -- a quantity routinely considered for Dirichlet Laplacians on bounded planar domains -- for Laplacians on metric graphs with at least one Dirichlet vertex. Using a variational characterization…

In this paper, we show that for all triangles in the plane, the equilateral triangle maximizes the ratio of the first two Dirichlet-Laplacian eigenvalues. This is an extension of work by Siudeja, who proved the inequality in the case of…

We consider Schr\"odinger operators in $\ell^2(\mathbb{Z})$ whose potentials are given by the sum of an ergodic term and a random term of Anderson type. Under the assumption that the ergodic term is generated by a homeomorphism of a…

In this paper, we consider the spectral theory of linear differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) for periodic DAEs in canonical form, i.e., \begin{equation*} J \frac{df}{dt}+Hf=\lambda Wf, \end{equation*} where $J$ is a constant…
