We prove the theorem on the completeness of the root functions of the Schroedinger operator $L=-d^2/dx^2+p(x)$ on the semi-axis $\mathbb R_+$ with a complex--valued potential $p(x)$. It is assumed that the potential $p = q \pm ir$ is such…

We construct examples of potentials $V(x)$ satisfying $|V(x)| \leq \frac{h(x)}{1+x},$ where the function $h(x)$ is growing arbitrarily slowly, such that the corresponding Schr\"odinger operator has imbedded singular continuous spectrum.…

We show that a generic quasi-periodic Schr\"odinger operator in $L^2(\mathbb{R})$ has purely singular spectrum. That is, for any minimal translation flow on a finite-dimensional torus, there is a residual set of continuous sampling…

We investigate spectral properties of limit-periodic Schr\"odinger operators in $\ell^2(\Z)$. Our goal is to exhibit as rich a spectral picture as possible. We regard limit-periodic potentials as generated by continuous sampling along the…
