We describe the spectrum of a non-self-adjoint elliptic system on a finite interval. Under certain conditions we find that the eigenvalues form a discrete set and converge asymptotically at infinity to one of several straight lines. The…
We get a criterion for 0 to be in the essential spectrum of a sum of self-adjoint operators whose pairwise products are compact. Using this result, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the sum of ranges of such operators to be…

Loewner matrix pencils play a central role in the system realization theory of Mayo and Antoulas, an important development in data-driven modeling. The eigenvalues of these pencils reveal system poles. How robust are the poles recovered via…
We characterize under what conditions $n\times n$ Hermitian matrices $A_1$ and $A_2$ have the property that the spectrum of $\cos t A_1 + \sin t A_2$ is independent of $t$ (thus, the trigonometric pencil $\cos t A_1 + \sin t A_2$ is…
