A lower semi-definite self-adjoint linear operator in a Hilbert space is taken whose discrete spectrum is not empty and comprises at least several eigenvalues $\lambda_{min}=\lambda_1\leqslant\ldots\leqslant\lambda_m<\sigma_{ess}$. The…

Eigenvalues in the essential spectrum of a weighted Sturm-Liouville operator are studied under the assumption that the weight function has one turning point. An abstract approach to the problem is given via a functional model for indefinite…
We consider the reflection-transmission problem in a waveguide with obstacle. At certain frequencies, for some incident waves, intensity is perfectly transmitted and the reflected field decays exponentially at infinity. In this work, we…
We consider the problem of recovering of initial data in the IBVP for the wave-type equation in the half-space by the solution restricted to the boundary. The singular value decomposition of this problem is concerned: the asymptotics of…
We introduce a novel approach for dealing with eigenvalue problems of Sturm-Liouville operators generated by the differential expression \begin{equation*} Ly=\frac{1}{r}\left( -(p\left[ y^{\prime }+sy\right] )^{\prime }+sp\left[ y^{\prime…
We treat the eigenvalue problem posed by self-similar potentials, i.e. homogeneous functions under a particular affine transformation, by means of symmetry techniques. We find that the eigenfunctions of such problems are localized, even…
We consider the eigenvalue problem for one-dimensional linear Schr\"odinger lattices (tight-binding) with an embedded few-sites linear or nonlinear, Hamiltonian or non-conservative defect (an oligomer). Such a problem arises when…
Spectral asymptotics of the Sturm-Liouville problem with a singular self-conformal weight measure is considered. A stronger version of the bounded distortion property is assumed for the conformal iterated function system corresponding to…
This paper is devoted to studying impedance eigenvalues (that is, eigenvalues of a particular Dirichlet-to-Neumann map) for the time harmonic linear elastic wave problem, and their potential use as target-signatures for fluid-solid…
We introduce a new biharmonic Steklov problem on differential forms with Dirichlet-type boundary conditions and show that it is elliptic. We prove the existence of a discrete spectrum for this problem and give variational characterizations…
We compute the asymptotic for the eigenvalues of a particular class of compact operators deeply linked with the second variation of optimal control problems. We characterize this family in terms of a set of finite dimensional data and we…

The inverse electromagnetic scattering problem for anisotropic media in general does not have a unique solution. A possible approach to this problem is through the use of appropriate "target signatures," i.e. eigenvalues associated with the…
