The Spectral Problem is to describe possible spectra $\sigma (A_j)$ for an irreducible $n$-tuple of Hermitian operators s.t. $A_1+...+A_n$ is a scalar operator. In case when $m_j= | \sigma (A_j)|$ are finite and a rooted tree ${\rm…

We extend bifurcation results of nonlinear eigenvalue problems from real Banach spaces to any neighbourhood of a given point. For points of odd multiplicity on these restricted domains, we establish that the component of solutions through…

We investigate the joint distribution of the vertex degrees in three models of random bipartite graphs. Namely, we can choose each edge with a specified probability, choose a specified number of edges, or specify the vertex degrees in one…

In a recent paper, Melbourne and Terhesiu [Operator renewal theory and mixing rates for dynamical systems with infinite measure, Invent. Math. 189 (2012), 61-110] obtained results on mixing and mixing rates for a large class of…

We present some extensions of Bernstein's concentration inequality for random matrices. This inequality has become a useful and powerful tool for many problems in statistics, signal processing and theoretical computer science. The main…

In this study, we investigate a mixed problem linked to a second-order parabolic equation, characterized by temporal dependencies and variable~coefficients, and constrained by non-local, non-self-adjoint boundary conditions. By defining…

Extending the thoroughly studied theory of group stability, we study Ulam stability type problems for associative and Lie algebras; namely, we investigate obstacles to rank-approximation of almost solutions by exact solutions for systems of…

We describe surprising relationships between automorphic forms of various kinds, imaginary quadratic number fields and a certain system of six finite groups that are parameterised naturally by the divisors of twelve. The Mathieu group…

We study the asymptotic behavior of a bounded solution of an inhomogeneous delay linear difference equation in a Banach space by using the spectrum of bounded sequences. We get a significant extension of excellent results in [1]. A new…

A survey article that presents some recent algebraic and model-theoretic results on the automorphism groups of relatively free groups of infinite rank. The topics include topological aspects, generating sets, descripition of automorpisms…

The existence of an unbounded sequence of solutions to a conformally invariant elliptic equation having nonlocal critical-power nonlinearity is established. The primary obstacle to establishing existence of solutions is the failure of…

The spectral problem for the q-Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations for $U_{q}(\widehat{sl_2}) (0<q<1)$ at arbitrary level $k$ is considered. The case of two-point functions in the fundamental representation is studied in detail.The scattering…

Let $T$ be a staircase rank-one construction with parameters $r_j \sim j^d$, $0<d<0.2$, then its spectrum does not have the group property, and the symmetric tensor product $T\odot T$ has simple spectrum.

A classical result due to Bochner classifies the orthogonal polynomials on the real line which are common eigenfunctions of a second order linear differential operator. We settle a natural version of the Bochner problem on the unit circle…

In 1952, Heinrich Scholz published a question in the Journal of Symbolic Logic asking for a characterization of spectra, i.e., sets of natural numbers that are the cardinalities of finite models of first order sentences. G\"unter Asser…

The problem of phase retrieval is a difficult one which remains far from solved. Two homometric sets are always connected by way of a convolution product by some spectral unit, though not necessarily in a unique way. Here we elucidate one…

We study the persistence of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of perturbed eigenvalue problems in Hilbert spaces. We assume that the unperturbed problem has a nontrivial kernel of odd dimension and we prove a Rabinowitz-type global continuation…

A new approach to solving a class of rankconstrained semi-definite programming (SDP) problems, which appear in many signal processing applications such as transmit beamspace design in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar, downlink…

We consider the problem of finding the spectrum of an operator taking the form of a low-rank (rank one or two) non-normal perturbation of a well-understood operator, motivated by a number of problems of applied interest which take this…

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,…
