We derive bounds on the location of non-embedded eigenvalues of Dirac operators on the half-line with non-Hermitian $L^1$-potentials. The results are sharp in the non-relativistic or weak-coupling limit. In the massless case, the absence of…

The problem of finding eigenvalue estimates for the Schr\"odinger operator turns out to be most complicated for the dimension 2. Some important results for this case have been obtained recently. We discuss these results and establish their…

We characterize the location and number of eigenvalues for the Lax operator associated to the one-dimensional cubic nonlinear defocusing Schr\"odinger equation. With the help of a newly discovered unitary matrix, the analysis reduces to the…
