I consider general reflection coefficients for arbitrary one-dimensional whole line differential or difference operators of order $2$. These reflection coefficients are semicontinuous functions of the operator: their absolute value can only…

We consider self-adjoint unbounded Jacobi matrices with diagonal q_n=n and weights \lambda_n=c_n n, where c_n is a 2-periodical sequence of real numbers. The parameter space is decomposed into several separate regions, where the spectrum is…

Pr\"ufer variables are a standard tool in spectral theory, developed originally for perturbations of the free Schr\"odinger operator. They were generalized by Kiselev, Remling, and Simon to perturbations of an arbitrary Schr\"odinger…

For full-line Jacobi matrices, Schr\"odinger operators, and CMV matrices, we show that being reflectionless, in the sense of the well-known property of $m$-functions, is equivalent to a lack of reflection in the dynamics in the sense that…

Consider an ordinary differential equation which has a Lax pair representation A'(x)= [A(x),B(x)], where A(x) is a matrix polynomial with a fixed regular leading coefficient and the matrix B(x) depends only onA(x). Such an equation can be…

In the present work we consider off-diagonal Jacobi matrices with uncertainty in the position of sparse perturbations. We prove (Theorem 3.2) that the sequence of Pr\"ufer angles (\theta_{k}^{\omega})_{k\geq 1} is u.d mod \pi for all \phi…

We present pretty detailed spectral analysis of Jacobi matrices with periodically modulated entries in the case when $0$ lies on the soft edge of the spectrum of the corresponding periodic Jacobi matrix. In particular, we show that the…

We are interested in diagonal perturbations of a periodic Jacobi operator that introduce embedded eigenvalues in its essential spectrum. Embedding multiple points in the essential spectrum has been known to be difficult, given that…

We prove a partial result concerning the long-standing problem on limit periodicity of the Jacobi matrix associated with the balanced measure on the Julia set of an expending polynomial. Besides this, connections of the problem with the…

We introduce and investigate a class of complex semi-infinite banded Toeplitz matrices satisfying the condition that the spectra of their principal submatrices accumulate onto a real interval when the size of the submatrix grows to…

In this paper we prove the global convergence of the complex Jacobi method for Hermitian matrices for a large class of generalized serial pivot strategies. For a given Hermitian matrix $A$ of order $n$ we find a constant $\gamma<1$…

The Deligne-Simpson problem (DSP) (resp. the weak DSP) is formulated like this: {\em give necessary and sufficient conditions for the choice of the conjugacy classes $C_j\subset GL(n,{\bf C})$ or $c_j\subset gl(n,{\bf C})$ so that there…

We investigate the effect of non-symmetric relatively bounded perturbations on the spectrum of self-adjoint operators. In particular, we establish stability theorems for one or infinitely many spectral gaps along with corresponding…

We study asymptotics of generalized eigenvectors associated with Jacobi matrices. Under weak conditions on the coefficients we identify when the matrices are self-adjoint and show that they satisfy strong non-subordinacy condition.

The paper studies the global convergence of the block Jacobi me\-thod for symmetric matrices. Given a symmetric matrix $A$ of order $n$, the method generates a sequence of matrices by the rule $A^{(k+1)}=U_k^TA^{(k)}U_k$, $k\geq0$, where…

We formulate the inverse spectral theory of infinite gap Hill's operators with bounded periodic potential as a Riemann--Hilbert problem on a typically infinite collection of spectral bands and gaps. We establish a uniqueness theorem for…

We consider $C=A+B$ where $A$ is selfadjoint with a gap $(a,b)$ in its spectrum and $B$ is (relatively) compact. We prove a general result allowing $B$ of indefinite sign and apply it to obtain a $(\delta V)^{d/2}$ bound for perturbations…
