In this article we discuss a few spectral properties of a paranormal closed operator (not necessarily bounded) defined in a Hilbert space. This class contains closed symmetric operators. First we show that the spectrum of such an operator…

Consider the eigenvalue problem generated by a fixed differential operator with a sign-changing weight on the eigenvalue term. We prove that as the negative part of the weight is rescaled towards negative infinity on some subregion, the…

We extend the concept of Lifshits--Krein spectral shift function associated with a pair of self-adjoint operators to the case of pairs of admissible operators that are similar to self-adjoint operators. Our main result is the following. Let…

Let $A$ be a square random matrix of size $n$, with mean zero, independent but not identically distributed entries, with variance profile $S$. When entries are i.i.d. with unit variance, the spectral radius of $n^{-1/2}A$ converges to $1$…

We prove several numerical radius inequalities for linear operators in Hilbert spaces. It is shown, among other inequalities, that if $A$ is a bounded linear operator on a complex Hilbert space, then \[\omega \left( A \right)\le…

In this paper we provide a quantitative comparison of two obstructions for a given symmetric operator S with dense domain in Hilbert space ${\cal H}$ to be selfadjoint. The first one is the pair of deficiency spaces of von Neumann, and the…

Let $X,Y$ be normal bounded operators on a Hilbert space such that $e^X=e^Y$. If the spectra of $X$ and $Y$ are contained in the strip $\s$ of the complex plane defined by $|\Im(z)|\leq \pi$, we show that $|X|=|Y|$. If $Y$ is only assumed…

Homogenization of a spectral problem in a bounded domain with a high contrast in both stiffness and density is considered. For a special critical scaling, two-scale asymptotic expansions for eigenvalues and eigenfunctions are constructed.…

Several new improvements of the $A$-numerical radius inequalities for operators acting on a semi-Hilbert space, i.e., a space generated by a positive operator $A$, are proved. In particular, among other inequalities, we show that…

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a complex Hilbert space and let $A$ be a positive operator on $\mathcal{H}$. We obtain new bounds for the $A$-numerical radius of operators in semi-Hilbertian space $\mathcal{B}_A(\mathcal{H})$ that generalize and…

Given a pair of self-adjoint operators $H$ and $V$ such that $V$ is bounded and $(H+V-i)^{-1}-(H-i)^{-1}$ belongs to the Schatten-von Neumann ideal $\mathcal{S}^n$, $n\ge 2$, of operators on a separable Hilbert space, we establish higher…

We consider the Laplacian in a tubular neighbourhood of a hyperplane subjected to non-self-adjoint $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric Robin boundary conditions. Its spectrum is found to be purely essential and real for constant boundary conditions.…

Let $A$ be a positive bounded operator on a Hilbert space $\big(\mathcal{H}, \langle \cdot, \cdot\rangle \big)$. The semi-inner product ${\langle x, y\rangle}_A := \langle Ax, y\rangle$, $x, y\in\mathcal{H},$ induces a seminorm…

We consider the problem of how to compute eigenvalues of a self-adjoint operator when a direct application of the Galerkin (finite-section) method is unreliable. The last two decades have seen the development of the so-called quadratic…

The aim of this paper is to offer an original and comprehensive spectral theoretical approach to the study of convergence to equilibrium, and in particular of the hypocoercivity phenomenon, for contraction semigroups in Hilbert spaces. Our…

Different estimates for the norm of the self-commutator of a Hilbert space operator are proposed. Particularly, this norm is bounded from above by twice of the area of the numerical range of the operator. An isoperimetric-type inequality is…

Motivated by the recent developments of pseudo-Hermitian quantum mechanics, we analyze the structure generated by unbounded metric operators in a Hilbert space. To that effect, we consider the notions of similarity and quasi-similarity…

We consider resolvents of operators taking the form ${\bf A}=\Gamma_1{\bf B}\Gamma_1$ where $\Gamma_1({\bf k})$ is a projection that acts locally in Fourier space and ${\bf B}({\bf x})$ is an operator that acts locally in real space. Such…

We consider the Laplace-Beltrami operator in tubular neighbourhoods of curves on two-dimensional Riemannian manifolds, subject to non-Hermitian parity and time preserving boundary conditions. We are interested in the interplay between the…

Let $B(\mathcal{H})$ denote the $C^*$-algebra of all bounded linear operators acting on a reproducing kernel Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}(\Omega).$ In this paper, we introduce a new family of seminorms on $B(\mathcal{H})$, called the…
