An implicit Euler finite-volume scheme for general cross-diffusion systems with volume-filling constraints is proposed and analyzed. The diffusion matrix may be nonsymmetric and not positive semidefinite, but the diffusion system is assumed…
To understand the solution of a linear, time-invariant differential-algebraic equation, one must analyze a matrix pencil (A,E) with singular E. Even when this pencil is stable (all its finite eigenvalues fall in the left-half plane), the…

We study the neutral massive Maxwell (Proca) equation on subextremal Reissner--Nordstr\"om exteriors. After spherical-harmonic decomposition, the odd sector is scalar, while the even sector remains a genuinely coupled $2\times2$ system. Our…
Contour integral methods for nonlinear eigenvalue problems seek to compute a subset of the spectrum in a bounded region of the complex plane. We briefly survey this class of algorithms, establishing a relationship to system realization…
In this paper, we consider inverse time-harmonic acoustic and electromagnetic scattering from locally perturbed rough surfaces in three dimensions. The scattering interface is supposed to be the graph of a Lipschitz continuous function with…
We study the spectrum of the Laplace operator of a complete minimal properly immersed hypersurface $M$ in $\R^{n+1}$. (1) Under a volume growth condition on extrinsic balls and a condition on the unit normal at infinity, we prove that $M$…
In approximate ground states obtained from imaginary-time evolution, the spectrum of the state -- its decomposition into exact energy eigenstates -- falls off exponentially with the energy. Here we consider the energy spectra of approximate…
In this work we study linear Maxwell equations with time- and space-dependent matrix-valued permittivity and permeability on domains with a perfectly conducting boundary. This leads to an initial boundary value problem for a first order…
We introduce a new system of surface integral equations for Maxwell's transmission problem in three dimensions. This system has two remarkable features, both of which we prove. First, it is well-posed at all frequencies. Second, the…
We consider the Laplacian in a domain squeezed between two parallel curves in the plane, subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions on one of the curves and Neumann boundary conditions on the other. We derive two-term asymptotics for…
We discuss the problems arising when computing eigenvalues of self-adjoint operators which lie in a gap between two parts of the essential spectrum. Spectral pollution, i.e. the apparent existence of eigenvalues in numerical computations,…
In recent decades qualitative inverse scattering methods with eigenvalues as target signatures received much attention. To understand those methods a knowledge on the properties of the related eigenvalue problems is essential. However, even…
Let A(x) be a holomorphic family of bounded self-adjoint operators on a separable Hilbert space H and let A(x)_n be the orthogonal compressions of A(x) to the span of first n elements of an orthonormal basis of H. The problem considered…
In this paper, we consider the essential spectrum of submanifolds in Euclidean spaces under various geometric hypotheses. Our results involve extrinsic conditions such as finite total mean curvature, the convergence of the gradient of the…
The present study deals with total internal reflection of a plane electromagnetic wave at an infinite plane boundary between a transparent medium and an amplifying or attenuating lower-index medium. Solutions of Maxwell's equations are…
We study eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of the Dirichlet Laplacian on a bounded domain $\Omega\subset\RR^n$ with piecewise smooth boundary. We bound the distance between an arbitrary parameter $E > 0$ and the spectrum $\{E_j \}$ in terms of…
It is well known that the standard projection methods allow one to recover the whole spectrum of a bounded self-adjoint operator but they often lead to spectral pollution, i.e. to spurious eigenvalues lying in the gaps of the essential…
We present a rigorous spectral analysis of plasmonic resonances in the nonlocal regime of spatially dispersive media. We adopt the quasi-static approximation of the hydrodynamic Drude model, which provides an analytically tractable setting…
