We discuss direct and inverse spectral theory for a Sturm-Liouville type problem with a quadratic dependence on the eigenvalue parameter, which arises as the isospectral problem for the conservative Camassa-Holm flow.
We use the classical results of Baxter and Gollinski-Ibragimov to prove a new spectral equivalence for Jacobi matrices on $l^2(\N)$. In particular, we consider the class of Jacobi matrices with conditionally summable parameter sequences and…
We give a complete solution of the scattering problem for Jacobi matrices from a class which was recently introduced by E. Ryckman. We characterize the scattering data for this class and illustrate the inverse scattering on some simple…
It is possible to generalize the fruitful interaction between (real or complex) Jacobi matrices, orthogonal polynomials and Pade approximants at infinity by considering rational interpolants, (bi-)orthogonal rational functions and linear…
Given a measure $m$ on the real line or a finite interval, the "cubic string" is the third order ODE $-\phi'''=zm\phi$ where $z$ is a spectral parameter. If equipped with Dirichlet-like boundary conditions this is a nonselfadjoint boundary…

In this paper we present an equivalent statement to the Jacobian conjecture. For a polynomial map F on an affine space of dimension n, we define recursively n finite sequences of polynomials. We give an equivalent condition to the…
The main goal of this paper is to propose an approach to inverse spectral problems for functional-differential operators (FDO) with involution. For definiteness, we focus on the second-order FDO with involution-reflection. Our approach is…
We consider the problem of embedding eigenvalues into the essential spectrum of periodic Jacobi operators, using an oscillating, decreasing potential. To do this we employ a geometric method, previously used to embed eigenvalues into the…
A real vector space combined with an inverse for vectors is sufficient to define a vector continued fraction whose parameters consist of vector shifts and changes of scale. The choice of sign for different components of the vector inverse…
A selfadjoined block tridiagonal matrix with positive definite blocks on the off-diagonals is by definition a Jacobi matrix with matrix entries. Transfer matrix techniques are extended in order to develop a rotation number calculation for…
We introduce a new map from polynomials orthogonal on the unit circle to polynomials orthogonal on the real axis. This map is closely related with the theory of CMV matrices. It contains an arbitrary parameter which leads to a linear…
Our main result asserts that a certain natural non-linear operator on Jacobi matrices built by a hyperbolic polynomial with real Julia set is a contraction in operator norm if the polynomial is sufficiently hyperbolic. This allows us to get…
