We consider the localization of eigenfunctions for the operator $L=-\mbox{div} A \nabla + V$ on a Lipschitz domain $\Omega$ and, more generally, on manifolds with and without boundary. In earlier work, two authors of the present paper…

We study solutions of $-\Delta u + V u = \lambda u$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$. Such solutions localize in the `allowed' region $\left\{x \in \mathbb{R}^n: V(x) \leq \lambda\right\}$ and decay exponentially in the `forbidden' region $\left\{x \in…

For a sparse non-singular matrix $A$, generally $A^{-1}$ is a dense matrix. However, for a class of matrices, $A^{-1}$ can be a matrix with off-diagonal decay properties, i.e. $\lvert A^{-1}_{ij}\rvert$ decays fast to $0$ with respect to…
