We consider boundary conditions of self-adjoint banded Toeplitz matrices. We ask if boundary conditions exist for banded self-adjoint Toeplitz matrices which satisfy operator inequalities of Dirichlet-Neumann bracketing type. For a special…

Sufficient conditions for a discrete spectrum of the biharmonic equation in a two-dimensional peak-shaped domain are established. Different boundary conditions from Kirchhoff's plate theory are imposed on the boundary and the results depend…

The question of what conditions should be set at the nodes of a discrete graph for the wave equation with discrete time is investigated. The variational method for the derivation of these conditions is used. A parallel with the continuous…

A planar waveguide with impedance boundary, composed of non-perfect metallic plates, and with passive or active dielectric filling is considered. We show the possibility of selective mode guiding and amplification when homogeneous pump is…

We consider the Dirichlet Laplacian in a domain two three-dimensional parallel layers having common boundary and coupled by a window. The window produces the bound states below the essential spectrum; we obtain two-sided estimates for them.…
