Let $\mu$ be a self-affine measure on $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ associated to a self-affine IFS $\{\varphi_{\lambda}(x) = A_{\lambda}x + v_{\lambda}\}_{\lambda\in\Lambda}$ and a probability vector $p=(p_{\lambda})_{\lambda}>0$. Assume the strong…

A probability measure in R^d is called a spectral measure if it has an orthonormal basis consisting of exponentials. In this paper we study spectral Cantor measures. We establish a large class of such measures and give a necessary and…

For $ 0< \lambda < \frac{1}2$, let $ B_{\lambda }$ be the Bochner-Riesz multiplier of index $ \lambda $ on the plane. Associated to this multiplier is the critical index $1 < p_\lambda = \frac{4} {3+2 \lambda } < \frac{4}3$. We prove a…

We investigate spectral properties of planar Moran measures $\mu_{\{M_n\},\{D_n\}}$ generated by sequences of expanding matrices $\{M_n\}\subset GL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ and digit sets $\{D_n\}\subset\mathbb{Z}^2$, where each digit set has the…

It is shown that for a given infinite graph $G$ on countably many vertices, and a compact, infinite set of real numbers $\Lambda$ there is a real symmetric matrix $A$ whose graph is $G$ and its spectrum is $\Lambda$. Moreover, the set of…

Let $X$ be a closed, connected, oriented surface of genus $g$, with a hyperbolic metric chosen at random according to the Weil--Petersson measure on the moduli space of Riemannian metrics. Let $\lambda_1=\lambda_1(X)$ bethe first non-zero…

A method is presented for generation of a subwavelength (0.43 lambda) longitudinally polarized beam, which propagates without divergence over lengths of about 4 lambda in free space. This is achieved by controlling the amplitude, phase and…

A random medium can serve as a controllable arbitrary spectral filter with spectral resolution determined by the inverse of the interaction time of the light in the medium. We use wavefront shaping to implement an arbitrary spectral…

Here we introduce the non-Hermitian diluted banded random matrix (nHdBRM) ensemble as the set of $N\times N$ real non-symmetric matrices whose entries are independent Gaussian random variables with zero mean and variance one if $|i-j|<b$…

We call a set $K \subset {\mathbb R}^s$ with positive Lebesgue measure a {\it spectral set} if $L^2(K)$ admits an exponential orthonormal basis. It was conjectured that $K$ is a spectral set if and only if $K$ is a tile (Fuglede's…

We designed and built a novel model of a deployed space telescope which can reliably align its segments to achieve the finest possible resolution. An asymmetric design of both the segment shapes and their pupil locations were tested in…

This paper relates the spectrum of the scalar Laplacian of an asymptotically hyperbolic Einstein metric to the conformal geometry of its ``ideal boundary'' at infinity. It follows from work of R. Mazzeo that the essential spectrum of such a…

An $n\times n$ zero pattern $S$, which is a matrix with entries $*$ and $0$, is called spectrally arbitrary with respect to a field $F$ if any monic polynomial $f$ of degree $n$ can be realized as the characteristic polynomial of a matrix…

In this paper, we present a new way to associate a finitely summable spectral triple to a higher-rank graph $\Lambda$, via the infinite path space $\Lambda^\infty$ of $\Lambda$. Moreover, we prove that this spectral triple has a close…

Let $A$ be a rectangular matrix of size $m\times n$ and $A_1$ be the random matrix where each entry of $A$ is multiplied by an independent $\{0,1\}$-Bernoulli random variable with parameter $1/2$. This paper is about when, how and why the…

A measure on a locally compact Abelian group is said to have a natural spectrum if its spectrum is equal to the closure of the range of the Fourier-Stieltjes transform. In this paper we continue the study of spectrally reasonable measures…

We extend classical basis constructions from Fourier analysis to attractors for affine iterated function systems (IFSs). This is of interest since these attractors have fractal features, e.g., measures with fractal scaling dimension.…

For any Lipschitz domain we construct an arbitrarily small, localized perturbation which splits the spectrum of the Laplacian into simple eigenvalues. We use for this purpose a Hadamard's formula and spectral stability results.

We consider the max-plus analogue of the eigenproblem for matrix pencils Ax=lambda Bx. We show that the spectrum of (A,B) (i.e., the set of possible values of lambda), which is a finite union of intervals, can be computed in…

We develop a sparse spectral method for a class of fractional differential equations, posed on $\mathbb{R}$, in one dimension. These equations can include sqrt-Laplacian, Hilbert, derivative and identity terms. The numerical method utilizes…
