The main result of this thesis is an efficient protocol to determine the frequencies of a signal $C(t)= \sum_k |a_k|^2 e^{i \omega_k t}$, which is given for a finite time, to a high degree of precision. Specifically, we develop a theorem…

We study a Dirichlet spectral problem for a second-order elliptic operator with locally periodic coefficients in a thin domain. The boundary of the domain is assumed to be locally periodic. When the thickness of the domain $\varepsilon$…

For $d \in \N$ and $\Omega \ne \emptyset$ an open set in $\R^d$, we consider the eigenfunctions $\Phi$ of the Dirichlet Laplacian $-\Delta_\Omega$ of $\Omega$. If $\Phi$ is associated with an eigenvalue below the essential spectrum of…

For fixed $c,$ the Prolate Spheroidal Wave Functions (PSWFs) $\psi_{n, c}$ form a basis with remarkable properties for the space of band-limited functions with bandwidth $c$. They have been largely studied and used after the seminal work of…

Let the set $\Omega_\varepsilon$ be obtained from the bounded domain $\Omega$ by removing a family of $\varepsilon$-periodically distributed identical balls. In $\Omega_\varepsilon$ one considers the standard Steklov spectral problem. It is…

Let $\Omega$ be an open set in $\R^d$ $(d > 1)$ and $h(\Omega)$ the Fr\'echet space of harmonic functions on $\Omega$. Given a bounded linear operator $L :h(\Omega)\to h(\Omega)$, we show that its eigenvalues $\lambda_n$, arranged in…

The spectral properties of the Frobenius-Perron operator of one-dimensional maps are studied when approaching a weakly intermittent situation. Numerical investigation of a particular family of maps shows that the spectrum becomes extremely…

Time-frequency concentration operators restrict the integral analysis-synthesis formula for the short-time Fourier transform to a given compact domain. We estimate how much the corresponding eigenvalue counting function deviates from the…

Let $\Omega$ be a piecewise-smooth, bounded convex domain in $\R^2$ and consider $L^2$-normalized Neumann eigenfunctions $\phi_{\lambda}$ with eigenvalue $\lambda^2$. Our main result is a small-scale {\em non-concentration} estimate: We…

We investigate spectral properties of the operator describing a quantum particle confined to a planar domain $\Omega$ rotating around a fixed point with an angular velocity $\omega$ and demonstrate several properties of its principal…

We study $L^p$ bounds on spectral projections for the Laplace operator on compact Riemannian manifolds, restricted to small frequency dependent neighborhoods of submanifolds. In particular, if $\lambda$ is a frequency and the size of the…

We study the properties of eigenvalues and corresponding eigenfunctions generated by a defect in the gaps of the spectrum of a high-contrast random operator. We consider a family of elliptic operators $\mathcal{A}^\varepsilon$ in divergence…

We study the eigenvalue profile of concentration operators (multiplication by an indicator function followed by projection) acting on reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. The spectral profile of such operators provides a useful notion of…

We introduce a simple, general, and convergent scheme to compute generalized eigenfunctions of self-adjoint operators with continuous spectra on rigged Hilbert spaces. Our approach does not require prior knowledge about the eigenfunctions,…
