We describe all solutions of the matrix Hamburger moment problem in a general case (no conditions besides solvability are assumed). We use the fundamental results of A.V. Shtraus on the generalized resolvents of symmetric operators. All…

I review a recent progress towards solution of the Almost Mathieu equation (A.G. Abanov, J.C. Talstra, P.B. Wiegmann, Nucl. Phys. B 525, 571, 1998), known also as Harper's equation or Azbel-Hofstadter problem. The spectrum of this equation…

We generalize a previous result concerning free martingale polynomials for the stationary free Jacobi process of parameters $\lambda \in ]0.1], \theta = 1/2$. Hopelessly, apart from the case $\lambda = 1$, the polynomials we derive are no…

We introduce the strongly-interacting trap model, a version of Bouchaud's trap model for glasses [Bouchaud J-P 1992 {\em J. Phys. I France {\bf 2}} 1705]. At finite temperatures the model exhibits glassy relaxation over intermediate…

We consider equations of nonlinear Schrodinger type augmented by nonlinear damping terms. We show that nonlinear damping prevents finite time blow-up in several situations, which we describe. We also prove that the presence of a quadratic…

The Riemann Hypothesis is the main open problem of Number Theory and several scientists are trying to solve this problem. In this regard, in a recent work [8], a difference equation has been proposed that calculates the nth non-trivial zero…

The Mathieu operator {equation*} L(y)=-y"+2a \cos{(2x)}y, \quad a\in \mathbb{C},\;a\neq 0, {equation*} considered with periodic or anti-periodic boundary conditions has, close to $n^2$ for large enough $n$, two periodic (if $n$ is even) or…

We prove almost Lipshitz continuity of spectra of singular quasiperiodic Jacobi matrices and obtain a representation of the critical almost Mathieu family that has a singularity. This allows us to prove that the Hausdorff dimension of its…

In this paper we study the truncated power moment problem with an odd number of prescribed moments. A Nevanlinna-type formula is derived for this moment problem in the case when the moment problem has more than one solution (the…

We introduce a new condition on elliptic operators $L= {1/2}\triangle + b \cdot \nabla $ which ensures the validity of the Liouville property for bounded solutions to $Lu=0$ on $\R^d$. Such condition is sharp when $d=1$. We extend our…

We lift the constraint of a diagonal representation of the Hamiltonian by searching for square integrable bases that support a tridiagonal matrix representation of the wave operator. Doing so results in exactly solvable problems with a…

In this paper we obtain a description of all solutions of truncated matricial moment problems on a finite interval in a general case (no conditions besides solvability are assumed). We use the basic results of M.G. Krein and I.E. Ovcharenko…

We consider the first eigenvalues of the polyharmonic, Lam\'e and Stokes operators with Dirichlet boundary conditions on sets of given finite measure. It is shown that a quasi-open set for which this eigenvalue is minimal is open. This…

In this paper we provide an application to the Neumann problem of a recent three critical points theorem.

We build blowing-up solutions for a supercritical perturbation of the Yamabe problem on manifolds with boundary, provided the dimension of the manifold is n>6 and the trace-free part of the second fundamental form is non-zero everywhere on…

This note focuses on the direct spectral problem for canonical Hamiltonian systems on the half-line $\mathbb{R}_+$. Truncated Toeplitz operators have been effectively used to solve the inverse spectral problem when the spectral measure is a…

This paper is devoted to discussing the weighted linear tensor product problems in the worst case setting. We consider algorithms that use finitely many evaluations of arbitrary continuous linear functionals. We investigate exponential $(s,…

The dimer problem arose in a thermodynamic study of diatomic molecules, and was abstracted into one of the most basic and natural problems in both statistical mechanics and combinatoric mathematics. Given a rectangular lattice of volume V…

The application of the approximation-operational approach to solving linear differential equations of fractional order with variable coefficients is considered. It is shown that the method can also be applied to solving differential…

We introduce concepts of essential numerical range for the linear operator pencil $\lambda\mapsto A-\lambda B$. In contrast to the operator essential numerical range, the pencil essential numerical ranges are, in general, neither convex nor…
