We establish an eigenfunctional theorem for positive operators, evocative of the Krein--Rutman theorem. A more general version gives a joint eigenfunctional for commuting operators.

Given bounded selfadjoint operators $A$ and $B$ acting on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, consider the linear pencil $P(\lambda)=A+\lambda B$, $\lambda\in\mathbb{R}$. The set of parameters $\lambda$ such that $P(\lambda)$ is a positive…

A well-known characterization of Jordan vectors of a matrix polynomial $L(z)$ is generalized to a characterization of Jordan vectors of the operator-valued function $Q(z)$ at an eigenvalue $\alpha \in \mathbb{C}$. The results are then…

A hyperplane arrangement is said to satisfy the ``Riemann hypothesis'' if all roots of its characteristic polynomial have the same real part. This property was conjectured by Postnikov and Stanley for certain families of arrangements which…

The Laplacian matrix $L$ of a signed graph $G$ may or may not be invertible. We present a combinatorial formula of the Moore-Penrose inverse of $L$. This is achieved by finding a combinatorial formula for the Moore-Penrose inverse of an…

The present paper deals with the spectral and the oscillation properties of a linear pencil $A-\lambda B$. Here $A$ and $B$ are linear operators generated by the differential expressions $(py")"$ and $-y"+ cry$, respectively. In particular,…

In this note we present some generalized versions of the Krein-Rutman theorem for sectorial operators. They are formulated in a fashion that can be easily applied to elliptic operators. Another feature of these generalized versions is that…

We introduce the notion of characteristic function of a quaternionic matrix, whose roots are the left eigenvalues. We prove that for all $2\times 2$ matrices and for $3\times 3$ matrices having some zero entry outside the diagonal there is…

Index theory has had profound impact on many branches of mathematics. In this note we discuss the context for a new kind of index theorem. We begin, however, with some operator theoretic results. In [11] Berger and Shaw established that…

The spectrum of a selfadjoint quadratic operator pencil of the form $\lambda^2M-\lambda G-A$ is investigated where $M\geq 0$, $G\geq 0$ are bounded operators and $A$ is selfadjoint bounded below is investigated. It is shown that in the case…

In this work, our aim is to obtain conditions to assure polynomial approximation in Hilbert spaces $L^{2}(\mu)$, with $\mu$ a compactly supported measure in the complex plane, in terms of properties of the associated moment matrix to the…

Representation theory of the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_n$ has a very distinctive combinatorial flavor. The conjugacy classes as well as the irreducible characters are indexed by integer partitions $\lambda \vdash n$. We introduce class…

The eigenvectors for graph $1$-Laplacian possess some sort of localization property: On one hand, any nodal domain of an eigenvector is again an eigenvector with the same eigenvalue; on the other hand, one can pack up an eigenvector for a…

We calculate the exceptional points of the eigenvalues of several parameter-dependent Hamiltonian operators of mathematical and physical interest. We show that the calculation is greatly facilitated by the application of the discriminant to…
