We describe the spectrum of the $k$-form Laplacian on conformally cusp Riemannian manifolds. The essential spectrum is shown to vanish precisely when the $k$ and $k-1$ de Rham cohomology groups of the boundary vanish. We give Weyl-type…

Let $S\subset\R^d$ be a bounded subset with positive Lebesgue measure. The Paley-Wiener space associated to $S$, $PW_S$, is defined to be the set of all square-integrable functions on $\R^d$ whose Fourier transforms vanish outside $S$. A…

We consider the Schr\"odinger operator $\mathcal L_{\alpha}$ on the half-line with a periodic background potential and a perturbation which consists of two parts: a summable potential and the slowly decaying Wigner--von Neumann potential…

In this article we consider asymptotics for the spectral function of Schr\"odinger operators on the real line. Let $P:L^2(\mathbb{R})\to L^2(\mathbb{R})$ have the form $$ P:=-\tfrac{d^2}{dx^2}+W, $$ where $W$ is a self-adjoint first order…

We answer a number of open problems in frame theory concerning the decomposition of frames into linearly independent and/or spanning sets. We prove that in finite dimensional Hilbert spaces, Parseval frames with norms bounded away from 1…

We study the spectral problems associated with the finite-difference operators $H_N = 2 \cosh(p) + V_N(x)$, where $V_N(x)$ is an arbitrary polynomial potential of degree $N$. These systems can be regarded as a solvable deformation of the…

In this paper we consider Wannier functions of quasi-periodic g-gap ($g\geq 1$) potentials and investigate their main properties. In particular, we discuss the problem of averaging underlying the definition of Wannier functions for both…

Let $T$ be a finite tree graph, $T^N$ be the Cartesian power graph of $T$, and $d^N$ be the graph distance metric on $T^N$. Also let \[ \mathbb S_r^N(x) := \{v \in T^N: d^N(x,v) = r\} \] be the sphere of radius $r$ centered at $x$ and $M$…

In this paper, we consider Schr\"odinger operators on $L^2(0,\infty)$ given by \begin{align} Hu=(H_0+V)u=-u^{\prime\prime}+V_0u+Vu,\nonumber \end{align} where $V_0$ is real, $1$-periodic and $V$ is the perturbation. It is well known that…

Schr\"odinger operators with periodic (possibly complex-valued) potentials and discrete periodic operators (possibly with complex-valued entries) are considered, and in both cases the computational spectral problem is investigated: namely,…

While General Fractional Calculus has successfully expanded the scope of memory operators beyond power-laws, standard formulations remain predominantly restricted to the half-line via Riemann-Liouville or Caputo definitions. This constraint…

We study the operator theory associated with such infinite graphs $G$ as occur in electrical networks, in fractals, in statistical mechanics, and even in internet search engines. Our emphasis is on the determination of spectral data for a…

In a recent paper, Chan, \L aba, and Pramanik investigated geometric configurations inside thin subsets of the Euclidean set possessing measures with Fourier decay properties. In this paper we ask which configurations can be found inside…
