In this paper following the same methods in [M. Kadakal, O. Sh. Mukhtarov, Sturm-Liouville problems with discontinuities at two points, Comput. Math. Appl., 54 (2007) 1367-1379] we investigate discontinuous two-point boundary value problems…
Non-smoothness at optimal points is a common phenomenon in many eigenvalue optimization problems. We consider two recent algorithms to minimize the largest eigenvalue of a Hermitian matrix dependent on one parameter, both proven to be…

We study the existence of positive eigenvalues with associated nonnegative mild eigenfunctions for a class of abstract initial value problems in Banach spaces with functional, possibly nonlocal, initial conditions. The framework includes…
This work is concerned with the existence and uniqueness of boundary value problems defined on semi-infinite intervals. These kinds of problems seldom admit exactly known solutions and, therefore, the theoretical information on their…
We study the optimal partitioning of a (possibly unbounded) interval of the real line into $n$ subintervals in order to minimize the maximum of certain set-functions, under rather general assumptions such as continuity, monotonicity, and a…
Error estimates for approximations of harmonic functions on planar regions by subspaces spanned by the first harmonic Steklov eigenfunctions are found. They are based on the explicit representation of harmonic functions in terms of these…
Many physical systems can be described by nonlinear eigenvalues and bifurcation problems with a linear part that is non-selfadjoint e.g. due to the presence of loss and gain. The balance of these effects is reflected in an antilinear…

In this paper we study a family of operators dependent on a small parameter $\epsilon > 0$, which arise in a problem in fluid mechanics. We show that the spectra of these operators converge to N as $\epsilon \to 0$, even though, for fixed…
We consider a perturbation problem for embedded eigenvalues of a self-adjoint differential operator in $L^2(\mathbb R;\mathbb R^n)$. In particular, we study the set of all small perturbations in an appropriate Banach space for which the…

The present paper gives a priori bounds on the possible non-real eigenvalues of regular indefinite Sturm-Liouville problems and obtains sufficient conditions for such problems to admit non-real eigenvalues.
A new continuity for set-valued functions is introduced, and an existence theorem is proved for such continuous set-valued functions.
The central problem we consider is the distribution of eigenvalues of closed linear operators which are not selfadjoint, with a focus on those operators which are obtained as perturbations of selfadjoint linear operators. Two methods are…

A very simple unidimensional function with Lipschitz continuous gradient is constructed such that the ADAM algorithm with constant stepsize, started from the origin, diverges when applied to minimize this function in the absence of noise on…
We consider boundary value problems for stochastic differential equations of second order with a small parameter. For this case we prove a special existence and unicity theorem for strong solutions. The asymptotic behavior of these…
Many results in the theory of Gaussian processes rely on the eigenstructure of the covariance operator. However, eigenproblems are notoriously hard to solve explicitly and closed form solutions are known only in a limited number of cases.…
