Sufficient conditions for the similarity of the operator $A := 1/r(x) (-d^2/dx^2 +q(x))$ with an indefinite weight $r(x)=(\sgn x)|r(x)|$ are obtained. These conditions are formulated in terms of Titchmarsh-Weyl $m$-coefficients. Sufficient…
Unitarity is the fundamental property of the S-matrix while its usage for a scattering of unstable particles has been subtle as unstable particles do not appear in the asymptotic states. Defining unstable-particle amplitudes as residues of…

The Korteweg-de Vries and Benjamin-Ono nonlinear wave equations can describe solitary waves, all of which propagate in the same direction and which emerge from collisions with their shapes unchanged. There are technical challenges to giving…
We consider periodic solutions to equations of Korteweg-Devries type. While the stability theory for periodic waves has received much some attention the theory is much less developed than the analogous theory for solitary wave stability,…
