For first order systems, we obtain an efficient bound on the exponential decay of an eigenfunction in terms of the distance between the corresponding eigenvalue and the essential spectrum. As an example, the Dirac operator is considered.

We prove sharp L^2 boundary decay estimates for the eigenfunctions of certain second order elliptic operators acting in a bounded region, and of their first order space derivatives, using only the Hardy inequality. We then deduce bounds on…

It is known that the eigenfunctions of a random Schr\"odinger operator on a strip decay exponentially, and that the rate of decay is not slower than prescribed by the slowest Lyapunov exponent. A variery of heuristic arguments suggest that…

We study the decay of eigenfunctions of the non self-adjoint matrix operator $\calH = (\begin{smallmatrix} -\Delta +\mu+U & W \W & \Delta -\mu -U \end{smallmatrix})$, for $\mu>0$, corresponding to eigenvalues in the strip $-\mu<\re E <\mu$.
