Symplectic self-adjointness of Hamiltonian operator matrices is studied, which arises in symplectic elasticity and optimal control. For the cases of diagonal domain and off-diagonal domain, necessary and sufficient conditions are shown. The…
Spectral properties of bounded linear operators play a crucial role in several areas of mathematics and physics. For each self-adjoint, trace-class operator $O$ we define a set $\Lambda_n\subset \mathbb{R}$, and we show that it converges to…
This paper is concerned with computations of a few smaller eigenvalues (in absolute value) of a large extremely ill-conditioned matrix. It is shown that smaller eigenvalues can be accurately computed for a diagonally dominant matrix or a…
