In this survey paper we review classical results and recent progress about a certain topic in the spectral theory of two-dimensional canonical systems. Namely, we consider the questions whether the spectrum $\sigma$ is discrete, and if it…

We introduce a new set of algorithms to compute Jacobi matrices associated with measures generated by infinite systems of iterated functions. We demonstrate their relevance in the study of theoretical problems, such as the continuity of…

We consider matrices on infinite trees which are universal covers of Jacobi matrices on finite graphs. We are interested in the question of the existence of sequences of finite covers whose normalized eigenvalue counting measures converge…

We investigate Ambarzumian-type mixed inverse spectral problems for Jacobi matrices. Specifically, we examine whether the Jacobi matrix can be uniquely determined by knowing all but the first $m$ diagonal entries and a set of $m$ ordered…

We describe a numerical procedure to compute the so-called isospectral torus of finite gap sets, that is, the set of Jacobi matrices whose essential spectrum is composed of finitely many intervals. We also study numerically the convergence…

The discrete spectrum of complex banded matrices which are compact perturbations of the standard banded matrix of order $p$ is under consideration. The rate of stabilization for the matrix entries sharp in the sense of order which provides…

Banded bounded matrices, which represent non normal operators, of oscillatory type that admit a positive bidiagonal factorization are considered. To motivate the relevance of the oscillatory character the Favard theorem for Jacobi matrices…

We study spaces of reflectionless Jacobi matrices. The main theme is the following type of question: Given a reflectionless Jacobi matrix, is it possible to approximate it by other reflectionless and, typically, simpler Jacobi matrices of a…

We prove pointwise bounds for two-parameter families of Jacobi polynomials. Our bounds imply estimates for a class of functions arising from the spectral analysis of distinguished Laplacians and sub-Laplacians on the unit sphere in…

We relate asymptotics of Jacobi parameters to asymptotics of the spectral weights near the edges. Typical of our results is that for $a_n\equiv 1$, $b_n =-C n^{-\beta}$ ($0<\beta< \frac23)$, one has $d\mu(x)= w(x) dx$ on $(-2,2)$, and near…

In this paper, we study the asymptotic nonnegative rank of matrices, which characterizes the asymptotic growth of the nonnegative rank of fixed nonnegative matrices under the Kronecker product. This quantity is important since it governs…

Consider the Jacobi operators $\cJ$ given by $(\cJ y)_n=a_ny_{n+1}+b_ny_n+a_{n-1}^*y_{n-1}$, $y_n\in \C^m$ (here $y_0=y_{p+1}=0$), where $b_n=b_n^*$ and $a_n:\det a_n\ne 0$ are the sequences of $m\ts m$ matrices, $n=1,..,p$. We study two…

We present here the necessary and sufficient conditions for the invertibility of tridiagonal matrices, commonly named Jacobi matrices, and explicitly compute their inverse. The techniques we use are related with the solution of…

We form the Jacobi theta distribution through discrete integration of exponential random variables over an infinite inverse square law surface. It is continuous, supported on the positive reals, has a single positive parameter, is unimodal,…

We establish a correspondence between the semi-infinite and infinite Volterra lattices having a finite logarithmic Hamiltonian and certain classes of even probability measures. In doing so, we apply the inverse spectral theory of Jacobi…

We discuss a number of properties of CMV matrices, by which we mean the class of unitary matrices recently introduced by Cantero, Moral, and Velazquez. We argue that they play an equivalent role among unitary matrices to that of Jacobi…

We announce three results in the theory of Jacobi matrices and Schr\"odinger operators. First, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a measure to be the spectral measure of a Schr\"odinger operator $-\f{d^2}{dx^2} +V(x)$ on $L^2…

We recall criteria on the spectrum of Jacobi matrices such that the corresponding isospectral torus consists of periodic operators. Motivated by those known results for Jacobi matrices, we define a new class of operators called GMP…

We consider periodic matrix-valued Jacobi operators. The spectrum of this operator is absolutely continuous and consists of intervals separated by gaps. We define the Lyapunov function, which is analytic on an associated Riemann surface. On…

In this paper we study the inverse spectral problem for Jacobi-type pencils. By a Jacobi-type pencil we mean the following pencil $J_5 - \lambda J_3$, where $J_3$ is a Jacobi matrix and $J_5$ is a semi-infinite real symmetric five-diagonal…
