We investigate Ambarzumian-type mixed inverse spectral problems for Jacobi matrices. Specifically, we examine whether the Jacobi matrix can be uniquely determined by knowing all but the first $m$ diagonal entries and a set of $m$ ordered…
We study how the spectrum of a Jacobi operator changes when this operator is modified by a certain finite rank perturbation. The operator corresponds to an infinite mass-spring system and the perturbation is obtained by modifying one…

We study fractal dimension properties of singular Jacobi operators. We prove quantitative lower spectral/quantum dynamical bounds for general operators with strong repetition properties and controlled singularities. For analytic…
We derive a sequence of measures whose corresponding Jacobi matrices have special properties and a general mapping of an open quantum system onto 1D semi infinite chains with only nearest neighbour interactions. Then we proceed to use the…
An original approach to the inverse scattering for Jacobi matrices was suggested in a recent paper by Volberg-Yuditskii. The authors considered quite sophisticated spectral sets (including Cantor sets of positive Lebesgue measure), however…
We look for spectral type differential equations satisfied by the generalized Jacobi polynomials which are orthogonal on the interval [-1,1] with respect to a weight function consisting of the classical Jacobi weight function together with…
We study structural properties of the Lyapunov exponent $\gamma$ and the density of states $k$ for ergodic (or just invariant) Jacobi matrices in a general framework. In this analysis, a central role is played by the function…
We consider a class of Jacobi matrices with periodically modulated diagonal in a critical hyperbolic ("double root") situation. For the model with "non-smooth" matrix entries we obtain the asymptotics of generalized eigenvectors and analyze…
We present here the necessary and sufficient conditions for the invertibility of tridiagonal matrices, commonly named Jacobi matrices, and explicitly compute their inverse. The techniques we use are related with the solution of…

Necessary and sufficient conditions are presented for a measure to be the spectral measure of a finite range perturbation of a Jacobi or CMV operator from a finite gap isospectral torus. The special case of eventually periodic operators…
We present certain results on the direct and inverse spectral theory of the Jacobi operator with complex periodic coefficients. For instance, we show that any $N$-th degree polynomial whose leading coefficient is $(-1)^N$ is the Hill…
In this work the method of analyzing of the absolutely continuous spectrum for self-adjoint operators is considered. For the analysis it is used an approximation of self-adjoint operator $A$ by a sequence of operators $A_n$ with absolutely…
We present pretty detailed spectral analysis of Jacobi matrices with periodically modulated entries in the case when $0$ lies on the soft edge of the spectrum of the corresponding periodic Jacobi matrix. In particular, we show that the…
We consider an inverse spectral problem for infinite linear mass-spring systems with different configurations obtained by changing the first mass. We give results on the reconstruction of the system from the spectra of two configurations.…
We study spaces of reflectionless Jacobi matrices. The main theme is the following type of question: Given a reflectionless Jacobi matrix, is it possible to approximate it by other reflectionless and, typically, simpler Jacobi matrices of a…
Cut a Jacobi matrix into two pieces by removing the n-th column and n-th row. We give neccessary and sufficient conditions for the spectra of the original matrix plus the spectra of the two submatrices to uniqely determine the original…

We study the correspondence between almost periodic difference operators and algebraic curves (spectral surfaces). An especial role plays the parametrization of the spectral curves in terms of, so called, branching divisors. The…
