Given a complex, separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, we consider self-adjoint $L^2$-realizations of differential expressions $\tau = - (d^2/dx^2) I_{\mathcal{H}} + V(x)$, on half-lines and on the real line (assuming the limit-point…

We consider the continuity property in Lebesgue spaces $L^p(\R^m)$ of wave operators $W_\pm$ of scattering theory for Schr\"odinger operator $H=-\lap + V$ on $\R^m$, $|V(x)|\leq C\ax^{-\delta}$ for some $\delta>2$ when $H$ is of exceptional…
Based on the recent work \cite{KKK} for compact potentials, we develop the spectral theory for the one-dimensional discrete Schr\"odinger operator $$ H \phi = (-\De + V)\phi=-(\phi_{n+1} + \phi_{n-1} - 2 \phi_n) + V_n \phi_n. $$ We show…
When the spatial dimensions $n$=2, the initial data $u_0\in H^1$ and the Hamiltonian $H(u_0)\leq 1$, we prove that the scattering operator is well-defined in the whole energy space $H^1(\mathbb{R}^2)$ for nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation…
We construct time-dependent wave operators for Schr\"{o}dinger equations with long-range potentials on a manifold $M$ with asymptotically conic structure. We use the two space scattering theory formalism, and a reference operator on a space…
We derive two main results: First, assume that $A$, $B$, $A_n$, $B_n$ are self-adjoint operators in the Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, and suppose that $A_n$ converges to $A$ and $B_n$ to $B$ in strong resolvent sense as $n \to \infty$. Fix…
The main goal of this dissertation is to find conditions which will guarantee the existence of solutions in the Hilbert space $H$ of semilinear equation \[ L u+N(u)=h \] where $L$ is a linear and self-adjoint operator, $N$ a non-linear…
Let $\{T_1, \ldots, T_n\}$ be a set of $n$ commuting bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. Then the $n$-tuple $(T_1, \ldots, T_n)$ turns $\mathcal{H}$ into a module over $\mathbb{C}[z_1, \ldots, z_n]$ in the following…
For a general class of $N$-body Schr\"odinger operators with short-range pair-potentials the wave and scattering matrices as well as the restricted wave operators are all defined at any non-threshold energy. This holds without imposing any…
This paper investigates composition operators and weighted composition operators on semi-Hilbert spaces induced by positive multiplication operators on \( L^2(\mu) \). Within the framework of \( A \)-adjoint operators, we characterize…
We prove that the wave operators for $n \times n$ matrix Schr\"odinger equations on the half line, with general selfadjoint boundary condition, are bounded in the spaces $L^p(\mathbb R^+, \mathbb C^n), 1 < p < \infty, $ for slowly decaying…
The spectral problem (A + V(z))\psi=z\psi is considered with A, a self-adjoint operator. The perturbation V(z) is assumed to depend on the spectral parameter z as resolvent of another self-adjoint operator A': V(z)=-B(A'-z)^{-1}B^{*}. It is…

In 2002, Littlejohn and Wellman developed a general left-definite theory for arbitrary self-adjoint operators in a Hilbert space that are bounded below by a positive constant. Zettl and Littlejohn, in 2005, applied this general theory to…
We provide a streamlined construction of the Friedrichs extension of a densely-defined self-adjoint and semibounded operator $A$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, by means of a symmetric pair of operators. A \emph{symmetric pair} is…
The purpose of this note is to present several criteria for essential self-adjointness. The method is based on ideas due to Shubin. This note is divided into two parts. The first part deals with symmetric first order systems on the line in…
