We consider perturbations of Hamiltonians whose Fourier symbol attains its minimum along a hypersurface. Such operators arise in several domains, like spintronics, theory of supercondictivity, or theory of superfluidity. Variational…

Let $(E,\mathcal F,\mu)$ be a probability space, and let $P$ be a Markov operator on $L^2(\mu)$ with $1$ a simple eigenvalue such that $\mu P=\mu$ (i.e. $\mu$ is an invariant probability measure of $P$). Then $\hat P:=\ff 1 2 (P+P^*)$ has a…

We study the spectral gap behavior of an operator obtained by summing a random permutation $M$ and a deterministic bistochastic matrix $Q$. We are interested in the asymptotic in terms of dimension. In the case where $(M,Q)$ are…

In this article, the existence of the spectrum (the eigenvalues) for the nonlinear continuous operators acting in the Banach spaces is investigated. For the study, this question is used a different approach that allows the studying of all…

This paper establishes a variant of Stewart's theorem (Theorem~6.4 of Stewart, {\em SIAM Rev.}, 15:727--764, 1973) for the singular subspaces associated with the SVD of a matrix subject to perturbations. Stewart's original version uses both…

We develop a nonlinear spectral graph theory, in which the Laplace operator is replaced by the 1-Laplacian ?$\Delta_1$. The eigenvalue problem is to solve a nonlinear system involving a set valued function. In the study, we investigate the…

This work is concerned with variational analysis of so-called spectral functions and spectral sets of matrices that only depend on eigenvalues of the matrix. Based on our previous work [H. T. B\`ui, M. N. B\`ui, and C. Clason, Convex…

We develop a minimax theory for operator learning, where the goal is to estimate an unknown operator between separable Hilbert spaces from finitely many noisy input-output samples. For uniformly bounded Lipschitz operators, we prove…

We consider Schr\"odinger operators on sparse graphs. The geometric definition of sparseness turn out to be equivalent to a functional inequality for the Laplacian. In consequence, sparseness has in turn strong spectral and functional…

In the present work the second Stokes problem about behaviour of the rarefied gas filling half-space is formulated. A plane limiting half-space makes harmonious fluctuations with variable amplitude in the plane. The amplitude changes on the…

On a fairly general class of Riemannian manifolds M, we prove lower estimates in terms of the Ricci curvature for the spectral bound (when M has infinite volume) and for the spectral gap (when M has finite volume) for the Laplace-Beltrami…

We introduce several classes of set-valued maps with generalized convexity. We obtain minimax theorems for set-valued maps which satisfy the introduced properties and are not continuous, by using a fixed point theorem for weakly naturally…

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,…

It is known that the spectrum of Schr\"odinger operators with sparse potentials consists of singular continuous spectrum. We give a sufficient condition so that the edge of the singular continuous spectrum is not an eigenvalue and construct…

This paper is devoted to providing quantitative bounds on the location of eigenvalues, both discrete and embedded, of non self-adjoint Lam\'e operators of elasticity $-\Delta^\ast + V$ in terms of suitable norms of the potential $V$. In…
