We introduce a notion of smooth fields of operators following the notion of smooth fields of Hilbert spaces recently defined by L. Lempert and R. Sz\H{o}oke arXiv:1004.4863(2) . Formally, if $\nabla$ is the connection of a smooth field of…

We establish a spectral duality for certain unbounded operators in Hilbert space. The class of operators includes discrete graph Laplacians arising from infinite weighted graphs. The problem in this context is to establish a practical…

For a linear operator $T$ in a Banach space let $\sigma_p(T)$ denote the point spectrum of $T$, $\sigma_{p[n]}(T)$ for finite $n > 0$ be the set of all $\lambda \in \sigma_p(T)$ such that $\dim \ker (T - \lambda) = n$ and let…

We continue the work of [Camano, Lackner, Monk, SIAM J. Math. Anal., Vol. 49, No. 6, pp. 4376-4401 (2017)] on electromagnetic Stekloff eigenvalues. The authors recognized that in general the eigenvalues due not correspond to the spectrum of…

In this paper, the concept of Birkhoff--James orthogonality of operators on a Hilbert space is generalized when a semi-inner product is considered. More precisely, for linear operators $T$ and $S$ on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, a…

If $\mathcal H$ is a Hilbert space, $\mathcal S \subseteq \mathcal H$ is a closed subspace of $\mathcal H$, and $A $ is a positive bounded linear operator on $\mathcal H$, the spectral shorted operator $\rho(\mathcal S, A)$ is defined as…

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a Hilbert space, $L(\mathcal{H})$ the algebra of bounded linear operators on $\mathcal{H}$ and $W \in L(\mathcal{H})$ a positive operator such that $W^{1/2}$ is in the p-Schatten class, for some $1 \leq p< \infty.$…

We study the proximity operator of the nonconvex, scale-invariant ratio $h(\vx)=\|\vx\|_{1}/\|\vx\|_{2}$ and show it can be computed exactly in any dimension. By expressing $\vx=r\vu$ and exploiting sign and permutation invariance, we…

We apply Lax-Milgram theorem to characterize scalable and piecewise scalable frame in finite and infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. We also introduce a method for approximating the inverse frame operator using finite-dimensional linear…

Operator splitting algorithms are a cornerstone of modern first-order optimization, relying critically on proximal operators as their fundamental building blocks. However, explicit formulas for proximal operators are available only for…

We revisit and extend known bounds on operator-valued functions of the type $$ T_1^{-z} S T_2^{-1+z}, \quad z \in \ol \Sigma = \{z\in\bbC\,|\, \Re(z) \in [0,1]\}, $$ under various hypotheses on the linear operators $S$ and $T_j$, $j=1,2$.…

This paper characterizes the proximal operator of the piece-wise exponential function $1\!-\!e^{-|x|/\sigma}$ with a given shape parameter $\sigma\!>\!0$, which is a popular nonconvex surrogate of $\ell_0$-norm in support vector machines,…

We show that a Schr\"odinger operator $A_{\delta, \alpha}$ with a $\delta$-interaction of strength $\alpha$ supported on a bounded or unbounded $C^2$-hypersurface $\Sigma \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, $d\ge 2$, can be approximated in the norm…
