We analyze a general class of difference operators $H_\varepsilon = T_\varepsilon + V_\varepsilon$ on $\ell^2(\varepsilon \mathbb{Z}^d)$, where $V_\varepsilon$ is a one-well potential and $\varepsilon$ is a small parameter. We construct…
Qualitative and spectral properties of the form-sums S_{\pm}(V):=D_{\pm}^{2m}\dotplus V(x),\quad m\in \mathbb{N}, in the Hilbert space $L_{2}(0,1)$ are studied. Here the periodic $(D_{+})$ and the semiperiodic $(D_{-})$ differential…

Continuous movement of discrete spectrum of the Schr\"{o}dinger operator $H(z)=-\frac{d^2} {dx^2}+V_0+z V_1$, with $\int_0^\infty {x |V_j(x)| dx} < \infty$, on the half-line is studied as $z$ moves along a continuous path in the complex…
We study self-adjoint extensions of a second order differential operator of Sturm-Liouville type on a graph. We relate self-adjointness of the operator to the existence of non-complete trajectories of the Hamiltonian vector field defined by…

Let $l[y]$ be a formally selfadjoint differential expression of an even order on the interval $[0,b> \;(b\leq \infty)$ and let $L_0$ be the corresponding minimal operator. By using the concept of a decomposing boundary triplet we consider…
We investigate the spectrum of a typical non-self-adjoint differential operator $AD=-d^2/dx^2\otimes A$ acting on $\Lp(0,1)\otimes \mathbb{C}^2$, where $A$ is a $2\times 2$ constant matrix. We impose Dirichlet and Neumann boundary…
We develop a theory of "special functions" associated to a certain fourth order differential operator $\mathcal{D}_{\mu,\nu}$ on $\mathbb{R}$ depending on two parameters $\mu,\nu$. For integers $\mu,\nu\geq-1$ with $\mu+\nu\in2\mathbb{N}_0$…
For discrete spectrum of 1D second-order differential/difference operators (with or without potential (killing), with the maximal/minimal domain), a pair of unified dual criteria are presented in terms of two explicit measures and the…
