We study singular Sturm-Liouville operators of the form \[ \frac{1}{r_j}\left(-\frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}p_j\frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}+q_j\right),\qquad j=0,1, \] in $L^2((a,b);r_j)$, where, in contrast to the usual assumptions, the…
We strengthen and generalise a result of Kirsch and Simon on the behaviour of the function $N_L(E)$, the number of bound states of the operator $L = \Delta+V$ in $\R^d$ below $-E$. Here $V$ is a bounded potential behaving asymptotically…
We develop relative oscillation theory for general Sturm-Liouville differential expressions of the form \[ \frac{1}{r}\left(-\frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx} p \frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx} + q\right) \] and prove perturbation results and…
The aim of this paper is to find necessary and sufficient conditions for sectoriality and compactness of the resolvent for Sturm--Liouville operators with complex-valued potentials of the class $q\in W_{2,loc}^{-1}(\mathbb{R}_+)$ in terms…
Consider the Hill operator $Ty=-y''+q'(t)y$ in $L^2(\R)$, where $q\in L^2(0,1)$ is a 1-periodic real potential. The spectrum of $T$ is is absolutely continuous and consists of bands separated by gaps $\g_n,n\ge 1$ with length $|\g_n|\ge 0$.…
In this paper we introduce and study a family of self-adjoint realizations of the Laplacian in $L^2(\mathbb{R}^2)$ with a new type of transmission conditions along a closed bi-Lipschitz curve $\Sigma$. These conditions incorporate jumps in…
We consider standard subordinacy theory for general Sturm--Liouville operators and give criteria when boundedness of solutions implies that no subordinate solutions exist. As applications, we prove a Weidmann-type result for general…
We discuss spectral properties of the one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operator with a potential of the form $\sum V(n)\delta(x-n)$. Our main result says that the absolutely continuous spectum of such an operator covers an interval…
In this study, the theorem on necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of inverse problem for Sturm-Liouville operator with discontinuous coefficient is proved and the algorithm of reconstruction of potential from spectral…
The Hill operators $Ly=-y"+v(x)y$, considered with complex valued $\pi$-periodic potentials $v$ and subject to periodic, antiperiodic or Neumann boundary conditions have discrete spectra. For sufficiently large $n,$ close to $n^2$ there are…
In this paper, the third in a series, we continue to study the generalized Lam\'{e} equation H$(n_0,n_1,n_2,n_3;B)$ with the Darboux-Treibich-Verdier potential \begin{equation*} y^{\prime \prime }(z)=\bigg[…
We consider the Sturm-Liouville operator Lu=u''-q(x)u with regular but not strongly regular boundary conditions. Under some supplementary assumptions we prove that the set of potentials q(x) that ensure an asymptotically multiple spectrum…
The Dirac equation for a massive spin-1/2 field in a central potential V in three dimensions is studied without fixing a priori the functional form of V. The second-order equations for the radial parts of the spinor wave function are shown…
We study in various functional spaces the equiconvergence of spectral decompositions of the Hill operator $L= -d^2/dx^2 + v(x), $ $x \in [0,\pi], $ with $H_{per}^{-1} $-potential and the free operator $L^0=-d^2/dx^2, $ subject to periodic,…
We prove a dispersive estimate for the evolution of Schroedinger operators $H = -\Delta + V(x)$ in ${\mathbb R}^3$. The potential is allowed to be a complex-valued function belonging to $L^p(\R^3)\cap L^q(\R^3)$, $p < \frac32 < q$, so that…
We consider the Hill operator $$ Ly = - y^{\prime \prime} + v(x)y, \quad 0 \leq x \leq \pi, $$ subject to periodic or antiperiodic boundary conditions, with potentials $v$ which are trigonometric polynomials with nonzero coefficients, of…
We consider a family of multi-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators $-\Delta+t V$ with a real $t$. The potential $V$ in our model decays at infinity in a special way, so that it satisfies a certain integral condition. We prove that the…
We discuss inverse spectral theory for singular differential operators on arbitrary intervals $(a,b) \subseteq \mathbb{R}$ associated with rather general differential expressions of the type \[\tau f = \frac{1}{r} \left(- \big(p[f' + s…
Based on the recent work \cite{KKK} for compact potentials, we develop the spectral theory for the one-dimensional discrete Schr\"odinger operator $$ H \phi = (-\De + V)\phi=-(\phi_{n+1} + \phi_{n-1} - 2 \phi_n) + V_n \phi_n. $$ We show…
It has been observed that a quantum theory need not to be Hermitian to have a real spectrum. We study the non-Hermitian relativistic quantum theories for many complex potentials, and we obtain the real relativistic energy eigenvalues and…
