We study a spectral problem $(\mathscr{P}^{\delta})$ for a diffusion like equation in a 3D domain $\Omega$. The main originality lies in the presence of a parameter $\sigma^{\delta}$, whose sign changes on $\Omega$, in the principal part of…

Originally motivated by a stability problem in Fluid Mechanics, we study the spectral and pseudospectral properties of the differential operator $H_\epsilon = -\partial_x^2 + x^2 + i\epsilon^{-1}f(x)$ on $L^2(R)$, where $f$ is a real-valued…

Let $Q(x)$ denote a periodic function on the real line. The Schr\"odinger operator, $H_Q=-\partial_x^2+Q(x)$, has $L^2(\mathbb{R})-$ spectrum equal to the union of closed real intervals separated by open spectral gaps. In this article we…

A common algorithm for the computation of eigenvalues of real symmetric tridiagonal matrices is the iteration of certain special maps $F_\sigma$ called shifted $QR$ steps. Such maps preserve spectrum and a natural common domain is ${\cal…

The spectral problem (A + V(z))\psi=z\psi is considered with A, a self-adjoint operator. The perturbation V(z) is assumed to depend on the spectral parameter z as resolvent of another self-adjoint operator A': V(z)=-B(A'-z)^{-1}B^{*}. It is…

M.Levitin and E.Shargorodsky purposed in a recent article, [math.SP/0212087], the use of the so called ``second order relative spectrum'', to find eigenvalues of self-adjoint operators in gaps of the essential spectrum. Let $M$ be a…

We consider the operator $ L = - (d/dx)^2 + x^2 y + w(x) y , y \in L^2(\mathbb{R}) $, where $ w(x) = s [ \delta(x - b) - \delta(x + b)], b \neq 0,$ real, $s \in \mathbb{C}$. This operator has a discrete spectrum: eventually the eigenvalues…

Motivated by the nodal distribution universality conjecture for discrete operators on graphs and by the spectral analysis of their maximal abelian covers, we consider a family of Hermitian matrices $h_{\alpha}$ obtained by varying the…

Given a self-adjoint operator $H_0$ and a relatively $H_0$-compact self-adjoint operator $V,$ the functions $r_j(z) = - \sigma_j^{-1}(z),$ where $\sigma_j(z)$ are eigenvalues of the compact operator $(H_0-z)^{-1}V,$ bear a lot of important…

Let $A$ be a self-adjoint operator on a Hilbert space $\fH$. Assume that the spectrum of $A$ consists of two disjoint components $\sigma_0$ and $\sigma_1$ such that the convex hull of the set $\sigma_0$ does not intersect the set…

We survey the notion of the spectral shift function of a pair of self-adjoint operators and recent progress on its connection with the Witten index. We also describe a proof of Krein's Trace Theorem that does not use complex analysis [53]…

Let $A(t)$ be a holomorphic family of self-adjoint operators of type (B) on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. Kato-Rellich perturbation theory says that isolated eigenvalues of $A(t)$ will be analytic functions of $t$ as long as they…
