We consider the problem of how to compute eigenvalues of a self-adjoint operator when a direct application of the Galerkin (finite-section) method is unreliable. The last two decades have seen the development of the so-called quadratic…

After formulating the pressure wave equation in half-space minus a crack with a zero Neumann condition on the top plane, we introduce a related inverse problem. That inverse problem consists of identifying the crack and the unknown forcing…

In this paper, we derive new relative perturbation bounds for eigenvectors and eigenvalues for regular quadratic eigenvalue problems of the form $\lambda^2 M x + \lambda C x + K x = 0$, where $M$ and $K$ are nonsingular Hermitian matrices…

Given a large sample covariance matrix $S_N=\frac 1n\Gamma_N^{1/2}Z_N Z_N^*\Gamma_N^{1/2}\, ,$ where $Z_N$ is a $N\times n$ matrix with i.i.d. centered entries, and $\Gamma_N$ is a $N\times N$ deterministic Hermitian positive semidefinite…

The Cram\'er-Granville conjecture is an upper bound on prime gaps, $g_n = p_{n+1} - p_n < \cCramer \, \log^2 p_n$ for some constant $\cCramer \geq 1$. Using a formula of Selberg, we first prove the weaker summed version: $\sum_{n=1}^N g_n <…

We examine the wave equation in the exterior of a strictly convex bounded domain $K$ with dissipative boundary condition $\partial_{\nu} u - \gamma(x) \partial_t u = 0$ on the boundary $\Gamma$ and $0 < \gamma(x) <1, \:\forall x \in…

This paper studies eigenvalues of the buckling problem of arbitrary order on compact domains in Euclidean spaces and spheres. We prove universal bounds for the $k$-th eigenvalue in terms of the lower ones independent of the domains. Our…

We explain how the spectrum of a closed embedded surface $\Sigma \subset \mathbb{R}^3$ relates to the Dirichlet spectrum of the bounded domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^3$ with $\partial \Omega = \Sigma$. We prove that there exists a…

Let $G$ be a graph on $n \ge 3$ vertices, whose adjacency matrix has eigenvalues $\lambda_1 \ge \lambda_2 \ge \dots \ge \lambda_n$. The problem of bounding $\lambda_k$ in terms of $n$ was first proposed by Hong and was studied by Nikiforov,…

The eigenvalue bounds obtained earlier [J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 31 (1998) 963] for smooth transformations of the form V(x) = g(x^2) + f(1/x^2) are extended to N-dimensions. In particular a simple formula is derived which bounds the…

This paper studies eigenvalues of the buckling problem of arbitrary order on bounded domains in Euclidean spaces and spheres. We prove universal bounds for the k-th eigenvalue in terms of the lower ones independent of the domains. Our…

A spectral problem is considered in a thin $3D$ graph-like junction that consists of three thin curvilinear cylinders that are joined through a domain (node) of the diameter $\mathcal{O}(\varepsilon),$ where $\varepsilon$ is a small…

This article focuses on finding the eigenvalues of the Laplacian matrix of the comaximal graph $\Gamma(\mathbb Z_n)$ of the ring $\mathbb Z_n$ for $n> 2$. We determine the eigenvalues of $\Gamma(\mathbb Z_n)$ for various $n$ and also…

The fundamental gap is the difference between the first two Dirichlet eigenvalues of a Schr\"odinger operator (and the Laplacian, in particular). For horoconvex domains in hyperbolic space, Nguyen, Stancu and Wei conjectured that it is…

We consider the bifurcation problem $u'' + \lambda u = N(u)$ with two point boundary conditions where $N(u)$ is a general nonlinear term which may also depend on the eigenvalue $\lambda$. We give a variational characterization of the…

In this paper, we consider the following overdetermined eigenvalue problem on an unbounded domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{N+1}$ with $N\geq1$ \begin{equation} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} -\Delta u=\lambda u\,\, &\text{in}\,\, \Omega,\\ u=0…

The probabilities for gaps in the eigenvalue spectrum of the finite dimension $ N \times N $ random matrix Hermite and Jacobi unitary ensembles on some single and disconnected double intervals are found. These are cases where a reflection…

We prove that a bounded open set U in Euclidean n-space has k-width less than C(n) Volume(U)^{k/n}. Using this estimate, we give lower bounds for the k-dilation of degree 1 maps between certain domains in Euclidean space. In particular, we…

In part II we constructed the lower bound, in the spirit of $\Gamma$- $\liminf$ for some general classes of singular perturbation problems, with or without the prescribed differential constraint, taking the form E_\e(v):=\int_\Omega…

There has been significant recent interest in understanding the dependence on the wavenumber, $k$, of boundary integral operators (BIOs), supported on some set $\Gamma\subset \mathbb{R}^n$, that arise in the solution of BVPs for the…
