Periodic $2$nd order ordinary differential operators on $\R$ are known to have the edges of their spectra to occur only at the spectra of periodic and antiperiodic boundary value problems. The multi-dimensional analog of this property is…

How does the spectrum of a Schr\"odinger operator vary if the corresponding geometry and dynamics change? Is it possible to define approximations of the spectrum of such operators by defining approximations of the underlying structures? In…
The spectra of the Schr\"odinger operators with periodic potentials are studied. When the potential is real and periodic, the spectrum consists of at most countably many line segments (energy bands) on the real line, while when the…
We study multi-frequency quasiperiodic Schr\"{o}dinger operators on $\mathbb{Z} $. We prove that for a large real analytic potential satisfying certain restrictions the spectrum consists of a single interval. The result is a consequence of…
We investigate spectral properties of limit-periodic Schr\"odinger operators in $\ell^2(\Z)$. Our goal is to exhibit as rich a spectral picture as possible. We regard limit-periodic potentials as generated by continuous sampling along the…
The Spectral Edges Conjecture is a well-known and widely believed conjecture in the theory of discrete periodic operators. It states that the extrema of the dispersion relation are isolated, non-degenerate, and occur in a single band. We…
When modeling propagation and scattering phenomena using integral equations discretized by the boundary element method, it is common practice to approximate the boundary of the scatterer with a mesh comprising elements of size approximately…
We survey results concerning the spectral properties of limit-periodic operators. The main focus is on discrete one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators, but other classes of operators, such as Jacobi and CMV matrices, continuum…
In this paper we investigate the spectral and scattering theory for operators acting on topological crystals and on their perturbations. A special attention is paid to perturbations obtained by the addition of an infinite number of edges,…
This paper is devoted to the description of our recent results on the spectral behavior of one-dimensional adiabatic quasi-periodic Schrodinger operators. The specific operator we study is a slow periodic perturbation of an incommensurate…
Given a family of self-adjoint operators $(A_t)_{t\in T}$ indexed by a parameter $t$ in some topological space $T$, necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the spectrum $\sigma(A_t)$ to be Vietoris continuous with respect to $t$.…
In this paper we consider a one dimensional liner piecewise-smooth discontinuous map. It is well known that stable periodic orbits exist in this type of map for a specific parameter region. It is also known that the corresponding…
The behaviour of the spectral edges (embedded eigenvalues and resonances) is discussed at the two ends of the continuous spectrum of non-local discrete Schr\"odinger operators with a $\delta$-potential. These operators arise by replacing…

We introduce the periodic Airy-Schr\"odinger operator and we study its band spectrum. This is an example of an explicitly solvable model with a periodic potential which is not differentiable at its minima and maxima. We define a…
