We characterize the Hermite-Biehler (de Branges) functions $E$ which correspond to Shroedinger operators with $L^2$ potential on the finite interval. From this characterization one can easily deduce a recent theorem by Horvath. We also…

Let $M(H^\infty)$ be the maximal ideal space of the Banach algebra $H^\infty$ of bounded holomorphic functions on the unit disk $\mathbb D\subset\mathbb C$. We prove that $M(H^\infty)$ is homeomorphic to the Freudenthal compactification…

We consider minimizers of \[ F(\lambda_1(\Omega),\ldots,\lambda_N(\Omega)) + |\Omega|, \] where $F$ is a function nondecreasing in each parameter, and $\lambda_k(\Omega)$ is the $k$-th Dirichlet eigenvalue of $\Omega$. This includes, in…

We investigate the approximation of the Monge problem (minimizing \int\_$\Omega$ |T (x) -- x| d$\mu$(x) among the vector-valued maps T with prescribed image measure T \# $\mu$) by adding a vanishing Dirichlet energy, namely $\epsilon$…

Eigenvalue problems for semidefinite operators with infinite dimensional kernels appear for instance in electromagnetics. Variational discretizations with edge elements have long been analyzed in terms of a discrete compactness property. As…

We give an elementary proof of weighted resolvent estimates for the semiclassical Schr\"odinger operator $-h^2 \Delta + V(x) - E$ in dimension $n \neq 2$, where $h, \, E > 0$. The potential is real-valued, $V$ and $\partial_r V$ exhibit…

This paper contains some vanishing theorems for $L^2$ harmonic forms on complete Riemannian manifolds with a weighted Poincar\'e inequality and a certain lower bound of the curvature. The results are in the spirit of Li-Wang and Lam, but…
