Let $A$ and $(-\widetilde{A})$ be dissipative operators on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ and let $(A,\widetilde{A})$ form a dual pair, i.e. $A\subset\widetilde{A}^*$, resp.\ $\widetilde{A}\subset A^*$. We present a method of determining the…
A recursive scheme for the design of scatterers acting simultaneously as emitters and absorbers, such as lasers and coherent perfect absorbers in optics, at multiple prescribed frequencies is proposed. The approach is based on the assembly…
The scattering of quasiperiodic waves for a two-dimensional Helmholtz equation with a constant refractive index perturbed by a function which is periodic in one direction and of finite support in the other is considered. The scattering…
A new approach is proposed to the solution of the quantum mechanical inverse scattering problem at fixed energy. The method relates the fixed energy phase shifts to those arising in an auxiliary Sturm-Liouville problem via the interpolation…
The results of a model for meson-meson scattering are studied. The model is shown to be capable of on the one hand reproducing the scattering data, while on the other hand a quark-antiquark confinement spectrum can be determined. It is…
We prove $H^{1}$ scattering for a defocusing NLS on the line with fully variable coefficients. The result is proved by adapting the Kenig--Merle scheme to a non translation invariant setting. In addition, we give an abstract version of the…
In this work we construct the model of a skew--selfadjoint operator with a simple spectrum acting on a Hilbert quaternion bimodule. This result is based on the Spectral Theorem for a skew--selfadjoint operator.
We affirmatively settle the question on existence of a real-valued higher order spectral shift function for a pair of self-adjoint operators $H$ and $V$ such that $V$ is bounded and $V(H-iI)^{-1}$ belongs to a Schatten-von Neumann ideal…
We consider compact Lie groups extensions of expanding maps of the circle, essentially restricting to U(1) and SU(2) extensions. The central object of the paper is the associated Ruelle transfer (or pull-back) operator $\hat{F}$. Harmonic…
