For a rank two bundle $F$ over a surface $X$, we study the set of singularities $M_\sigma$ of the eigenvalue functions of symmetric symbols $\sigma$ associated to first order differential operators on $F$. We prove that the existence of…
We study an inverse spectral problem for arbitrary order ordinary differential equations on compact star-type graphs when differential equations have regular singularities at boundary vertices. As the main spectral characteristics we…
Let $M$ be a smooth connected orientable closed surface and $f_0\in C^\infty(M)$ a function having only critical points of the $A_\mu$-types, $\mu\in\mathbb N$. Let ${\mathcal F}={\mathcal F}(f_0)$ be the set of functions $f\in C^\infty(M)$…
This paper analyzes the convergence of fixed-point iterations of the form u = f(u) and the properties of the inverse of the related pentadiagonal matrices, associated with the fourth-order nonlinear beam equation. This nonlinear problem is…
We consider the boundary value problem for the deflection of a finite beam on an elastic foundation subject to vertical loading. We construct a one-to-one correspondence $\Gamma$ from the set of equivalent well-posed two-point boundary…
We consider the convex set of ( unital ) positive ( completely ) maps from a $C^*$ algebra $\cla$ to a von-Neumann sub-algebra $\clm$ of $\clb(\clh)$, the algebra of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space $\clh$ and study its extreme…
We study an extremal projection principle for families of operators ordered by domination, induced by fixed bounded linear mappings acting on a source with an additive baseline. Stability is defined through domination of second--order…
The main result of the paper is an extension of the Dirichlet problem from (closures of) bounded open domains U to arbitrary compact subsets X of the complex plane, i.e. the closure of the corresponding space of functions which are harmonic…
The study of extremal properties of the spectrum often involves restricting the metrics under consideration. Motivated by the work of Abreu and Freitas in the case of the sphere $S^2$ endowed with $S^1$-invariant metrics, we consider the…
It is well known that if a finite order linear differential operator with polynomial coefficients has as eigenfunctions a sequence of orthogonal polynomials with respect to a positive measure (with support in the real line), then its order…
The main goal of this work is to determine which entire functions preserve nonnegativity of matrices of a fixed order $n$ -- i.e., to characterize entire functions $f$ with the property that $f(A)$ is entrywise nonnegative for every…
The paper investigates the existence of a limit in the operator norm for a family of operators $T_z(H)= F(H-z)^{-1}F^*$ for $z$ tending to the real axis. The conditions for the $H$ operator and the rigging operator $F$ are established,…
We consider the problem of characterizing extreme points of the convex set of positive linear operators on a possibly infinite-dimensional Hilbert space under linear constraints. We show that even perturbations of points in such sets admit…
The chosen tool of this thesis is an extremal type approach. The lesson drawn by the theorems proved in the thesis is that surprisingly small compromise is necessary on the efficacy of the solutions to make the approach work. The problems…
We develop almost-orthogonality principles for maximal functions associated with averages over line segments and directional singular integrals. Using them, we obtain sharp $L^2$-bounds for these maximal functions when the underlying…
We study the spectrum of unbounded J-self-adjoint block operator matrices. In particular, we prove enclosures for the spectrum, provide a sufficient condition for the spectrum being real and derive variational principles for certain real…
In this paper, we study a Dirac boundary value problem where the operator is considered with a derivative of order $\alpha \in (0, 1]$, known as the $F^{\alpha}$-derivative. We prove some spectral properties of eigenvalues and…
We study n by n symmetric random matrices H, possibly discrete, with iid above-diagonal entries. We show that H is singular with probability at most exp(-n^c), and the spectral norm of the inverse of H is O(sqrt{n}). Furthermore, the…
Orthogonal systems in $\mathrm{L}_2(\mathbb{R})$, once implemented in spectral methods, enjoy a number of important advantages if their differentiation matrix is skew-symmetric and highly structured. Such systems, where the differentiation…
We give an effective bound of the joint spectral radius $\rho(\Sigma)$ for a finite set $\Sigma$ of nonnegative matrices: For every $n$, \[ \sqrt[n]{\left(\frac{V}{UD}\right)^{D} \max_C \max_{i,j\in C} \max_{A_1,\dots,A_n\in\Sigma}(A_1\dots…
