An eigenvalue problem with a reference function and the corresponding hierarchy of nonlinear evolution equations are proposed. The bi-Hamiltonian structure of the hierarchy is established by using the trace identity. The isospectral problem…
The problem of approximating the discrete spectra of families of self-adjoint operators that are merely strongly continuous is addressed. It is well-known that the spectrum need not vary continuously (as a set) under strong perturbations.…
The Laplace operator admits infinite self-adjoint extensions when considered on a segment of the real line. They have different domains of essential self-adjointness characterized by a suitable set of boundary conditions on the wave…
The Krein-von Neumann extension is studied for Schr\"odinger operators on metric graphs. Among other things, its vertex conditions are expressed explicitly, and its relation to other self-adjoint vertex conditions (e.g.…
We associate curves of isotropic, Lagrangian and coisotropic subspaces to higher order, one parameter variational problems. Minimality and conjugacy properties of extremals are described in terms of these curves.
A new proof for adjoint systems of linear equations is presented. The argument is built on the principles of Algorithmic Differentiation. Application to scalar multiplication sets the base line. Generalization yields adjoint inner vector,…
In this note we show that if a boundary system in the sense of (Schubert et al. 2015) gives rise to any skew-self-adjoint extension, then it induces a boundary triplet and the classification of all extensions given by (Schubert et al. 2015)…
Explicit formulas expressing the solution to non-autonomous differential equations are of great importance in many application domains such as control theory or numerical operator splitting. In particular, intrinsic formulas allowing to…

Solitons of a discrete nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation which includes the next-nearest-neighbor interactions are studied by means of a variational approximation and numerical computations. A large family of multi-humped solutions,…
A formalism is developed to study certain five-term recursion relations by discrete phase integral (or Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin) methods. Such recursion relations arise naturally in the study of the Schrodinger equation for certain spin…
