We discuss the problems arising when computing eigenvalues of self-adjoint operators which lie in a gap between two parts of the essential spectrum. Spectral pollution, i.e. the apparent existence of eigenvalues in numerical computations,…

We present a model for spectral theory of families of selfadjoint operators, and their corresponding unitary one-parameter groups (acting in Hilbert space.) The models allow for a scale of complexity, indexed by the natural numbers…

M.Levitin and E.Shargorodsky purposed in a recent article, [math.SP/0212087], the use of the so called ``second order relative spectrum'', to find eigenvalues of self-adjoint operators in gaps of the essential spectrum. Let $M$ be a…
Let A be a self-adjoint operator acting on a Hilbert space. The notion of second order spectrum of A relative to a given finite-dimensional subspace L has been studied recently in connection with the phenomenon of spectral pollution in the…
In this text we describe the spectral nature (pure point or continuous) of a self-similar Sturm-Liouville operator on the line or the half-line. This is motivated by the more general problem of understanding the spectrum of Laplace…
We apply both the theory of boundary triples and perturbation theory to the setting of semi-bounded Sturm-Liouville operators with two limit-circle endpoints. For general boundary conditions we obtain refined and new results about their…
