We derive a formula for the adjoint $\overline{A}$ of a square-matrix operation of the form $C=f(A)$, where $f$ is holomorphic in the neighborhood of each eigenvalue. We then apply the formula to derive closed-form expressions in particular…

We construct operators which factorize the transfer function associated with a non-self-adjoint 2x2 operator matrix whose diagonal entries can have overlapping spectra and whose off-diagonal entries are unbounded operators.

Building on techniques used in the case of the disc, we use a variety of methods to develop formulae for the adjoints of composition operators on Hardy spaces of the upper half-plane. In doing so, we prove a slight extension of a known…

In this paper we provide a criterion of essential self-adjointness for operators in the tensor product of a separable Hilbert space and a Fock space. The class of operators we consider may contain a self-adjoint part, a part that preserves…

A classification of commutative integral domains consisting of ordinary differential operators with matrix coefficients is established in terms of morphisms between algebraic curves.

For a general self-adjoint Hamiltonian operator $H_0$ on the Hilbert space $L^2(\RE^d)$, we determine the set of all self-adjoint Hamiltonians $H$ on $L^2(\RE^d)$ that dynamically confine the system to an open set $\Omega \subset \RE^d$…

Let $B$ be a bounded self-adjoint operator and let $A$ be a nonnegative self-adjoint unbounded operator. It is shown that if $BA$ is normal, it must be self-adjoint and so must be $AB$. Commutativity is necessary and sufficient for this…

Let $V$ be a vector space over a field $\mathbb F$ with scalar product given by a nondegenerate sesquilinear form whose matrix is diagonal in some basis. If $\mathbb F=\mathbb C$, then we give canonical matrices of isometric and selfadjoint…

A new class of operators, larger than $C$-symmetric operators and different than normal one, named $C$--normal operators is introduced. Basic properties are given. Characterizations of this operators in finite dimensional spaces using a…

Given a finite set $X\subseteq\R$ we characterize the diagonals of self-adjoint operators with spectrum $X$. Our result extends the Schur-Horn theorem from a finite dimensional setting to an infinite dimensional Hilbert space analogous to…

Let $H_1$ and $H_2$ be selfadjoint operators or relations (multivalued operators) acting on a separable Hilbert space and assume that the inequality $H_1 \leq H_2$ holds. Then the validity of the inequalities $-H_1^{-1} \leq -H_2^{-1}$ and…

The concept of operator frame can be considered as a generalization of frame. Firstly, we introduce the notion of operator frame for the set of all adjointable operators $Hom_{\mathcal{A}}^{\ast}(\mathcal{X})$ on a Hilbert…

We are focused on the idea that observables in quantum physics are a bit more than just hermitian operators and that this is, in general, a "tricky business". The origin of this idea comes from the fact that there is a subtle difference…

In this paper we study Birkhoff-James Orthogonality for biadjoints of operators. We partly solve the problem, if an operator is orthogonal to the space of operators valued in a subspace, when the is the norm of biadjoint is attained at a…

In this paper, we investigate the spectrum of the self adjoint differential operator with operator coefficitent in a separable Hilbert space. We also derive asymptotic formulas for the sum of eigenvalues of this operator.

We generalize the classical notion of adjoint of a linear operator and the Aron-Schottenloher notion of adjoint of a homogeneous polynomial. The general notion is shown to enjoy several properties enjoyed by the classical ones, nevertheless…

Given two different self-adjoint extensions of the same symmetric operator, we analyse the intersection of their point spectra. Some simple examples are provided.

In this paper we consider the order-like relation for self-adjoint operators on some Hilbert space. This relation is defined by using Jensen inequality. We will show that under some assumptions this relation is antisymmetric.

This paper addresses two different but related questions regarding an unbounded symmetric tridiagonal operator: its self-adjointness and the approximation of its spectrum by the eigenvalues of its finite truncations. The sufficient…

This paper argues that non-self-adjoint operators can be observables. There are only four ways for this to occur: non-self-adjoint observables can either be normal operators, or be symmetric, or have a real spectrum, or have none of these…
