We reexamine the relativistic 2+1 dimensional Lee model in light-front coordinates on flat space and on a space-time with a spatial section given by a compact manifold in the usual canonical formalism. The simpler 2+1 dimension is chosen…

We consider parabolic operators of the form $$\partial_t+\mathcal{L},\ \mathcal{L}:=-\mbox{div}\, A(X,t)\nabla,$$ in $\mathbb R_+^{n+2}:=\{(X,t)=(x,x_{n+1},t)\in \mathbb R^{n}\times \mathbb R\times \mathbb R:\ x_{n+1}>0\}$, $n\geq 1$. We…

Given a contraction A on a Hilbert space H, an operator T on H is said to be A-invariant if <Tx,x>=<TAx,Ax> for every x in H such that ||Ax||=||x||. In the special case in which both defect indices of A are equal to 1, we show that every…

Within convex analysis, a rich theory with various applications has been evolving since the proximal average of convex functions was first introduced over a decade ago. When one considers the subdifferential of the proximal average, a…

We study optimal multiple stopping of strong Markov processes with random refraction periods. The refraction periods are assumed to be exponentially distributed with a common rate and independent of the underlying dynamics. Our main tool is…

We develop upper and lower bounds for the numerical radius of $2\times 2$ off-diagonal operator matrices, which generalize and improve on the existing ones. We also show that if $A$ is a bounded linear operator on a complex Hilbert space…

We prove the consistency of an adaptive importance sampling strategy based on biasing the potential energy function $V$ of a diffusion process $dX_t^0=-\nabla V(X_t^0)dt+dW_t$; for the sake of simplicity, periodic boundary conditions are…

We prove bounds for the number of solutions to $$a_1 + \dots + a_k = a_1' + \dots + a_k'$$ over $N$-element sets of reals, which are sufficiently convex or near-convex. A near-convex set will be the image of a set with small additive…

In this paper, we study a class of convolution operators on the space of distributions that enlarge the well-studied class of passive operators. In this larger class, we are able to associate, to each operator, a holomorphic function in the…

For locally convex vector spaces (l.c.v.s.) $E$ and $F$ and for linear and continuous operator $T: E \rightarrow F$ and for an absolutely convex neighborhood $V$ of zero in $F$, a bounded subset $B$ of $E$ is said to be $T$-V-dentable…

In the first part of the paper we consider the Schr\"odinger operator $ -\Delta-V(x),\quad V>0. $ We discuss the relation between the behavior of $V$ at the infinity and the properties of the negative spectrum of $H$. After that, we…
