Given the abstract evolution equation \[ y'(t)=Ay(t),\ t\in \mathbb{R}, \] with a scalar type spectral operator $A$ in a complex Banach space, we find conditions on $A$, formulated exclusively in terms of the location of its spectrum in the…

The spectral bound, s(a A + b V), of a combination of a resolvent positive linear operator A and an operator of multiplication V, was shown by Kato to be convex in b \in R. This is shown here, through an elementary lemma, to imply that s(a…

Let $\mathbf{A}$ be a bounded self-adjoint operator on a separable Hilbert space $\mathfrak{H}$ and $\mathfrak{H}_0\subset\mathfrak{H}$ a closed invariant subspace of $\mathbf{A}$. Assuming that $\mathfrak{H}_0$ is of codimension 1, we…

We prove that the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator (DtN) has no spectrum in the lower half of the complex plane. We find several application of this fact in scattering by obstacles with impedance boundary conditions. In particular, we find an…

We consider the discrete Schr\"odinger operator $H=-\Delta+V$ with a sparse potential $V$ and find conditions guaranteeing either existence of wave operators for the pair $H$ and $H_0=-\Delta$, or presence of dense purely point spectrum of…

A bounded operator $T$ in a Banach space $X$ is said to satisfy the essential descent spectrum equality, if the descent spectrum of $T$ as an operator on $X$ coincides with the essential descent spectrum of $T$. In this note, we give some…

We prove the long standing conjecture in the theory of two-point boundary value problems that completeness and Dunford's spectrality imply Birkhoff regularity. In addition we establish the even order part of S.G.Krein's conjecture that…

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a Hilbert space, $L(\mathcal{H})$ the algebra of bounded linear operators on $\mathcal{H}$ and $W \in L(\mathcal{H})$ a positive operator such that $W^{1/2}$ is in the p-Schatten class, for some $1 \leq p< \infty.$…

We give a simple proof of a well-known theorem of G\'al and of the recent related results of Aistleitner, Berkes and Seip [1] regarding the size of GCD sums. In fact, our method obtains the asymptotically sharp constant in G\'al's theorem,…

For an unbounded operator $S$ on a Banach space the existence of invariant subspaces corresponding to its spectrum in the left and right half-plane is proved. The general assumption on $S$ is the uniform boundedness of the resolvent along…

For a simple graph $\Gamma$ and for unital $C^*$-algebras with GNS-faithful states $(\mathbf{A}_v,\varphi_v)$ for $v\in V\Gamma$, we consider the reduced graph product $(\mathcal{A},\varphi)=*_{v,\Gamma}(\mathbf{A}_{v},\varphi_v)$ , and…

In this work the spectral theory of self-adjoint operator $A$ represented by Jacobi matrix is considered. The approach is based on the continued fraction representation of the resolvent matrix element of $A$. Different criteria of absolute…

We prove an existence and uniqueness result for solutions to linear $X$-elliptic equations with $L^1$ data and zero Dirichlet boundary conditions. Such solutions depend continuously on the datum. Moreover, we show that an improvement in the…

In this paper, we prove that the distance function of an open connected set in $\mathbb R^{n+1}$ with a $C^{2}$ boundary is superharmonic in the distribution sense if and only if the boundary is {\em weakly mean convex}. We then prove that…
