Coherent control of wave transmission and reflection is crucial for applications in communication, imaging, and sensing. However, many practical scenarios involve partially coherent waves rather than fully coherent ones. We present a…
We consider a family of operators $-\Delta+ t V$ with a slowly decaying and oscillating potential $V$. We prove that the absolutely continuous spectrum of this operator is essentially supported by $[0,\infty)$ for almost every $t$.
We explicitly determine the spectrum of transfer operators (acting on spaces of holomorphic functions) associated to analytic expanding circle maps arising from finite Blaschke products. This is achieved by deriving a convenient natural…

We develop a scattering theory for CMV matrices, similar to the Faddeev--Marchenko theory. A necessary and sufficient condition is obtained for the uniqueness of the solution of the inverse scattering problem. We also obtain two sufficient…
Quantum graphs have recently been introduced as model systems to study the spectral statistics of linear wave problems with chaotic classical limits. It is proposed here to generalise this approach by considering arbitrary, directed graphs…
Spectral operators of matrices proposed recently in [C. Ding, D.F. Sun, J. Sun, and K.C. Toh, Math. Program. {\bf 168}, 509--531 (2018)] are a class of matrix valued functions, which map matrices to matrices by applying a vector-to-vector…
In this article we continue our analysis of Schr\"odinger operators on arbitrary graphs given as certain Laplace operators. In the present paper we give the proof of the composition rule for the scattering matrices. This composition rule…
Following seminal work in the early 1980s that established the existence and representations of the homogenized transport coefficients for two phase random media, we develop a mathematical framework that provides Stieltjes integral…
We study finitely cyclic self-adjoint operators in a Hilbert space, i.e. self-adjoint operators that posses such a finite subset in the domain that the orbits of all its elements with respect to the operator are linearly dense in the space.…
We investigate the symmetries of so-called generalized extended CMV matrices. It is well-documented that problems involving reflection symmetries of standard extended CMV matrices can be subtle. We show how to deal with this in an elegant…
Explicit formulas for the analytic extensions of the scattering matrix and the time delay of a quasi-one-dimensional discrete Schr\"odinger operator with a potential of finite support are derived. This includes a careful analysis of the…
In this work, we obtain closed expressions for the transfer matrix and the transmittance of electromagnetic waves propagating in finite 1D anisotropic periodic stratified media with an arbitrary number of cells. By invoking the…
We present a direct and simple method for the computation of the total scattering matrix of an arbitrary finite noncompact connected quantum graph given its metric structure and local scattering data at each vertex. The method is inspired…
I prove that quasi-periodic Schr\"odinger operators in arbitrary dimension have some absolutely continuous spectrum.
The main issue we address in the present paper are the new models for completely non-unitary contractions with rank one defect operators acting on some Hilbert space of dimension $N\leq\infty$. This model complements nicely the well-known…
This paper extends Remling's Theorem to vector-valued discrete Schrodinger operators, showing that the {\omega} limit points of the matrix potentials, under the shift map, are reflectionless on the absolutely continuous spectrum with full…
For scattering systems consisting of a (family of) maximal dissipative extension(s) and a selfadjoint extension of a symmetric operator with finite deficiency indices, the spectral shift function is expressed in terms of an abstract…
A family $A_\alpha$ of differential operators depending on a real parameter $\alpha\ge 0$ is considered. This family was suggested by Smilansky as a model of an irreversible quantum system. We find the absolutely continuous spectrum…
We consider an abstract pseudo-Hamiltonian for the nuclear optical model, given by a dissipative operator of the form $H = H_V - i C^* C$, where $H_V = H_0 + V$ is self-adjoint and $C$ is a bounded operator. We study the wave operators…
