We develop a completely bounded counterpart to the non-commutative Choquet boundary of an operator space. We show how the class of completely bounded linear maps is too large to accommodate our purposes. To overcome this obstacle, we…

We establish a spectral duality for certain unbounded operators in Hilbert space. The class of operators includes discrete graph Laplacians arising from infinite weighted graphs. The problem in this context is to establish a practical…

If $A$ is an integer valued, strictly expansive matrix, then there exists an orthonormal $A$-wavelet whose Fourier transform is compactly supported and smooth. We show that strongly connected diagonally dominant integer matrices are…

This article treats the question of fundamentality of the translates of a polyharmonic spline kernel (also known as a surface spline) in the space of continuous functions on a compact set $\Omega\subset \RR^d$ when the translates are…

In the first part of this manuscript a relationship between the spectrum of self-adjoint operator matrices and the spectra of their diagonal entries is found. This leads to enclosures for spectral points and in particular, enclosures for…

We use trace class scattering theory to exclude the possibility of absolutely continuous spectrum in a large class of self-adjoint operators with an underlying hierarchical structure and provide applications to certain random hierarchical…

In this paper, we investigate optimization problems with nonnegative and orthogonal constraints, where any feasible matrix of size $n \times p$ exhibits a sparsity pattern such that each row accommodates at most one nonzero entry. Our…

The search for optimal configurations of pointsets, the most notable examples being the problems of Kepler and Thompson, have an extremely rich history with diverse applications in physics, chemistry, communication theory, and scientific…

Let $f$ be a symmetric norm on ${\mathbb R}^n$ and let ${\mathcal B}({\mathcal H})$ be the set of all bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space ${\mathcal H}$ of dimension at least $n$. Define a norm on ${\mathcal B}({\mathcal H})$ by…

We consider an inverse spectral problem for a class of non-compact Hankel operators $H$ such that the modulus of $H$ (restricted onto the orthogonal complement to its kernel) has simple spectrum. Similarly to the case of compact operators,…

We define a number of natural (from geometric and combinatorial points of view) deformation spaces of valuations on finite graphs, and study functions over these deformation spaces. These functions include both direct metric invariants…

We establish an algorithm for a criterion of the diagonalisability of a matrix over a local field by a unitary matrix. For this sake, we define the notion of normality of a $p$-adic operator, and give several criteria for the normality. We…

Let $A$ be a square complex matrix and $z$ a complex number. The distance, with respect to the spectral norm, from $A$ to the set of matrices which have $z$ as an eigenvalue is less than or equal to the distance from $z$ to the spectrum of…

A family of random matrices is said to converge strongly to a limiting family of operators if the operator norm of every noncommutative polynomial of the matrices converges to that of the limiting operators. Recent developments surrounding…

Nonlinearities in finite dimensions can be linearized by projecting them into infinite dimensions. Unfortunately, often the linear operator techniques that one would then use simply fail since the operators cannot be diagonalized. This…

In this paper we consider two problems in frame theory. On the one hand, given a set of vectors $\mathcal F$ we describe the spectral and geometrical structure of optimal completions of $\mathcal F$ by a finite family of vectors with…

Orthogonally invariant functions of symmetric matrices often inherit properties from their diagonal restrictions: von Neumann's theorem on matrix norms is an early example. We discuss the example of "identifiability", a common property of…

This paper considers $N\times N$ matrices of the form $A_\gamma =A+ \gamma B$, where $A$ is self-adjoint, $\gamma \in C$ and $B$ is a non-self-adjoint perturbation of $A$. We obtain some monodromy-type results relating the spectral…

Let $A$ be a square random matrix of size $n$, with mean zero, independent but not identically distributed entries, with variance profile $S$. When entries are i.i.d. with unit variance, the spectral radius of $n^{-1/2}A$ converges to $1$…

In this paper we discuss the spectral properties of one-term symmetric differential operators of even order with interior singularity, namely, we determine the deficiency numbers, describe its self-adjoint extensions and their spectrum. It…
