The two-dimensional Schroedinger operator with a uniform magnetic field and a periodic zero-range potential is considered. For weak magnetic fields we reduce the spectral problem to the semiclassical analysis of one-dimensional Harper-like…
We study the multi-dimensional operator $(H_x u)_n=\sum_{|m-n|=1}u_{m}+f(T^n(x))u_n$, where $T$ is the shift of the torus $\T^d$. When $d=2$, we show the spectrum of $H_x$ is almost surely purely continuous for a.e. $\alpha$ and generic…
We introduce computational strategies for measuring the ``size'' of the spectrum of bounded self-adjoint operators using various metrics such as the Lebesgue measure, fractal dimensions, the number of connected components (or gaps), and…
