The purpose of this paper is to prove that the spectrum of the non-self-adjoint one-particle Hamiltonian proposed by J. Feinberg and A. Zee (Phys. Rev. E 59 (1999), 6433--6443) has interior points. We do this by first recalling that the…

We present a spectral analysis for matrix scaling and operator scaling. We prove that if the input matrix or operator has a spectral gap, then a natural gradient flow has linear convergence. This implies that a simple gradient descent…

We consider the Schur-Horn problem for normal operators in von Neumann algebras, which is the problem of characterizing the possible diagonal values of a given normal operator based on its spectral data. For normal matrices, this problem is…

In this paper we consider two classes of random Hamiltonians on $L^2(\RR^d)$ one that imitates the lattice case and the other a Schr\"odinger operator with non-decaying, non-sparse potential both of which exhibit a.c. spectrum. In the…

In this short note, smoothness of the fundamental solution of Schr\"odinger equations on a complete manifold is studied. It is shown that (1) the fundamental solution is smooth under "mild" trapping conditions; (2) there is a Riemannian…

We consider a family of random Schr\"odinger operators on the discrete strip with decaying random $\ell^2$ matrix potential. We prove that the spectrum is almost surely pure absolutely continuous, apart from random, possibly embedded…

We consider separable 2D discrete Schr\"odinger operators generated by 1D almost Mathieu operators. For fixed Diophantine frequencies we prove that for sufficiently small couplings the spectrum must be an interval. This complements a result…

A spectral mapping theorem is proved that resolves a key problem in applying invariant manifold theorems to nonlinear Schr\" odinger type equations. The theorem is applied to the operator that arises as the linearization of the equation…

The subject of the paper are Schr\"odinger operators on tree graphs which are radial having the branching number $b_n$ at all the vertices at the distance $t_n$ from the root. We consider a family of coupling conditions at the vertices…

It is believed that unbroken PT symmetry is sufficient to guarantee that the spectrum of a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian is real. We prove that this is not true. We study a Hamiltonian with complex spectrum for which PT symmetry is not…

We establish criteria for the spectrum of a generalized indefinite string to be purely discrete and to satisfy Schatten-von Neumann properties. The results can be applied to the isospectral problem associated with the conservative…

We show that the Markovian dynamics of two coupled harmonic oscillators may be analyzed using a Schr\"odinger equation and an effective non-Hermitian Hamiltonian. This may be achieved by a non-unitary transformation that involves…

A variationally improved Sturmian approximation for solving time-independent Schr\"odinger equation is developed. This approximation is used to obtain the energy levels of a quartic anharmonic oscillator, a quartic potential, and a Gaussian…

We prove that the spectrum of a limit-periodic Schr\"odinger operator is homogeneous in the sense of Carleson whenever the potential obeys the Pastur--Tkachenko condition. This implies that a dense set of limit-periodic Schr\"odinger…
