M.Levitin and E.Shargorodsky purposed in a recent article, [math.SP/0212087], the use of the so called ``second order relative spectrum'', to find eigenvalues of self-adjoint operators in gaps of the essential spectrum. Let $M$ be a…
We consider discrete Schr\"odinger operators with periodic potentials on periodic graphs perturbed by guided non-positive potentials, which are periodic in some directions and finitely supported in other ones. The spectrum of the…
We prove an asymptotic expansion for the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of Schr\"{o}dinger-type operator with a confining potential and with principle part a periodic elliptic operator in divergence form. We compare the spectrum to the…
The problem of absence of eigenvalues imbedded into the continuous spectrum is considered for a Schr\"{o}dinger operator with a periodic potential perturbed by a sufficiently fast decaying ``impurity'' potential. Results of this type have…

The relation between the spectra of operator pencils with unbounded coefficients and of associated linear relations is investigated. It turns out that various types of spectrum coincide and the same is true for the Weyr characteristics.…
We consider a non-compact Riemannian periodic manifold such that the corresponding Laplacian has a spectral gap. By continuously perturbing the periodic metric locally we can prove the existence of eigenvalues in a gap. A lower bound on the…

The spectrum of the Schr\"odinger operator in a quantum waveguide is known to be unstable in two and three dimensions. Any enlargement of the waveguide produces eigenvalues beneath the continuous spectrum. Also if the waveguide is bent…
