In this paper we propose a spectral flow for graph Laplacians, and prove that it counts the number of nodal domains for a given Laplace eigenvector. This extends work done for Laplacians on $\mathbb{R}^n$ to the graph setting. We mention…

Second variation of a smooth optimal control problem at a regular extremal is a symmetric Fredholm operator. We study asymptotics of the spectrum of this operator and give an explicit expression for its determinant in terms of solutions of…

As shown in earlier work, skew-adjoint linear differential operators, mapping efforts into flows, give rise to Dirac structures on a bounded spatial domain by a proper definition of boundary variables. In the present paper this is extended…
In this work, we present a complete spectral study of a family of non-normal operators arising in Reggeon field theory. This family of operators is an original example who permit us to discover the recent theory of physical requirement of…
