We compute the asymptotic for the eigenvalues of a particular class of compact operators deeply linked with the second variation of optimal control problems. We characterize this family in terms of a set of finite dimensional data and we…
For operators belonging either to a class of global bisingular pseudodifferential operators on $R^m \times R^n$ or to a class of bisingular pseudodifferential operators on a product $M \times N$ of two closed smooth manifolds, we show the…

The present paper extends the classical second-order variational problem of Herglotz type to the more general context of the Euclidean sphere S^n following variational and optimal control approaches. The relation between the Hamiltonian…
In this paper we extend classical criteria for determining lower bounds for the least point of the essential spectrum of second-order elliptic differential operators on domains $\Omega\subset\R^n$ allowing for degeneracy of the coefficients…
We study the existence and the properties of solutions to the Dirichlet problem for uniformly elliptic second-order Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman operators, depending on the principal eigenvalues of the operator.
We study the determinant of the second variation of an optimal control problem for general boundary conditions. Generically, this operators are not trace class and the determinant is defined as a principal value limit. We provide a formula…
We study asymptotic behavior of the bottom point of the spectrum of convolution type operators in environments with locally periodic microstructure. We show that its limit is described by an additive eigenvalue problem for Hamilton-Jacobi…
In the work, the property of the second-order subdifferential is studied and second-order optimality conditions are obtained for the minimization problem. We also obtained necessary and sufficient conditions for an extremum for the extremal…
An odd Fredholm module for a given invertible operator on a Hilbert space is specified by an unbounded so-called Dirac operator with compact resolvent and bounded commutator with the given invertible. Associated to this is an index pairing…
We study the essential spectrum and Fredholm properties of integral and pseudodiferential operators associated to (maybe non-commutative) locally compact groups G. The techniques involve crossed product C*-algebras. We extend previous…
We characterize the groupoids for which an operator is Fredholm if, and only if, its principal symbol and all its boundary restrictions are invertible. A groupoid with this property is called {\em Fredholm}. Using results on the Effros-Hahn…
We extend the second Noether theorem to optimal control problems which are invariant under symmetries depending upon k arbitrary functions of the independent variable and their derivatives up to some order m. As far as we consider a…
We provide Fredholm conditions for compatible differential operators on certain Lie manifolds (that is, on certain possibly non-compact manifolds with nice ends). We discuss in more detail the case of manifolds with cylindrical, hyperbolic,…
We consider an eigenvalue problem for an inverted one dimensional harmonic oscillator. We find a complete description for the eigenproblem in $C^{\infty}(\mathbb R)$. The eigenfunctions are described in terms of the confluent hypergeometric…
We consider symmetric second-order differential operators with real coefficients such that the corresponding differential equation is in the limit circle case at infinity. Our goal is to construct the theory of self-adjoint realizations of…
The Dirac Hamiltonian with the Aharonov-Bohm potential provides an example of a non-Fredholm operator for which all spectral asymmetry comes entirely from the continuous spectrum. In this case one finds that the use of standard definitions…
In this paper we deal with a second order multidimensional fractional differential operator. We consider a case where the leading term represented by the uniformly elliptic operator and the final term is the Kipriyanov operator of…
