Gershgorin's famous circle theorem states that all eigenvalues of a square matrix lie in disks (called Gershgorin disks) around the diagonal elements. Here we show that if the matrix entries are non-negative and an eigenvalue has geometric…

Extending an earlier result for real matrices we show that multiple eigenvalues of a complex matrix lie in a reduced Gershgorin disk. One consequence is a slightly better estimate in the real case. Another one is a geometric application.…

In this paper, inequalities among eigenvalues of different self-adjoint discrete Sturm-Liouville problems are established. For a fixed discrete Sturm-Liouville equation, inequalities among eigenvalues for different boundary conditions are…

We demonstrate for the first time and unexpectedly that the Principle of Relativity dictates the choice of the "gauge conditions" in the canonical example of a Gauge Theory namely Classical Electromagnetism. All the known "gauge conditions"…

In this paper we extend our findings in [3] and answer further questions regarding continuity and discontinuity of seminorms on infinite-dimensional vector spaces.

The Schur-Horn theorem is a well-known result that characterizes the relationship between the diagonal elements and eigenvalues of a symmetric (Hermitian) matrix. In this paper, we extend this theorem by exploring the eigenvalue…

Using the Hellmann-Feynman theorem, a general comparison theorem is established for an eigenvalue equation of the form $(T+V)|\psi> = E|\psi>$, where $T$ is a kinetic part which depends only on momentums and $V$ is a potential which depends…

A recent area of interest is the development and study of eigenvalue problems arising in scattering theory that may provide potential target signatures for use in nondestructive testing of materials. We consider a generalization of the…

The ordered eigenvalues define a Lipschitz map on the real vector space of Hermitian $d \times d$ matrices. We prove that this map acts continuously, but not uniformly continuously, by superposition on the Sobolev spaces $W^{1,q}$, for all…

The validity conditions for the extended Birkhoff theorem in multidimensional gravity with $n$ internal spaces are formulated, with no restriction on space-time dimensionality and signature. Examples of matter sources and geometries for…

We generalize the notion of Erd\H{o}s-Ginzburg-Ziv constants -- along the same lines we generalized in earlier work the notion of Davenport constants -- to a ``higher degree" and obtain various lower and upper bounds. These bounds are…

Let $S$ be a seminorm on an infinite-dimensional real or complex vector space $X$. Our purpose in this note is to study the continuity and discontinuity properties of $S$ with respect to certain norm-topologies on $X$.

For standard eigenvalue problems, a closed-form expression for the condition numbers of a multiple eigenvalue is known. In particular, they are uniformly 1 in the Hermitian case, and generally take different values in the non-Hermitian…

We study the persistence of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of perturbed eigenvalue problems in Hilbert spaces. We assume that the unperturbed problem has a nontrivial kernel of odd dimension and we prove a Rabinowitz-type global continuation…

It is natural to consider continuous dependence of the $n$-th eigenvalue on $d$-dimensional ($d\geq2$) Sturm-Liouville problems after the results on $1$-dimensional case by Kong, Wu and Zettl [14]. In this paper, we find all the boundary…

That the Perron root of a square nonnegative matrix A varies continuously with the entries in A is a corollary of theorems regarding continuity of eigenvalues or roots of polynomial equations, the proofs of which necessarily involve complex…

We observe that the distribution of the eigenvalues of an $N$-by-$N$ GUE random matrix is log-concave on $\mathbb{R}^N$, and that the same is true for the law of a single gap between two consecutive eigenvalues. We use this observation to…

I propose a proof of the existence of the existence of eigenvectors and eigenvalues in the spirit of Argand's proof of the fundamental theorem of algebra. The proof only relies on Weierstrass's theorem, the definition of the inverse of a…

This paper is concerned with continuous dependence of the n-th eigenvalue on self-adjoint discrete Sturm-Liouville problems. The n-th eigenvalue is considered as a function in the space of the problems. A necessary and sufficient condition…

Einstein's field equations of gravitation are known to admit closed timelike curve (CTC) solutions. Deutsch approached the problem from the quantum information point of view and proposed a self-consistency condition. In this work, the…
