It is well known that the standard projection methods allow one to recover the whole spectrum of a bounded self-adjoint operator but they often lead to spectral pollution, i.e. to spurious eigenvalues lying in the gaps of the essential…

We discuss the problems arising when computing eigenvalues of self-adjoint operators which lie in a gap between two parts of the essential spectrum. Spectral pollution, i.e. the apparent existence of eigenvalues in numerical computations,…

The method of second order relative spectra has been shown to reliably approximate the discrete spectrum for a self-adjoint operator. We extend the method to normal operators and find optimal convergence rates for eigenvalues and…

A new technique for approximating eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a self-adjoint operator is presented. The method does not incur spectral pollution, uses trial spaces from the form domain, has a self-adjoint algorithm, and exhibits…

M.Levitin and E.Shargorodsky purposed in a recent article, [math.SP/0212087], the use of the so called ``second order relative spectrum'', to find eigenvalues of self-adjoint operators in gaps of the essential spectrum. Let $M$ be a…

We consider the problem of variation of spectral subspaces for linear self-adjoint operators under off-diagonal perturbations. We prove a number of new optimal results on the shift of the spectrum and obtain (sharp) estimates on the norm of…

We study spectral properties of Schr\"odinger operators associated with substitution dynamical systems in higher dimensions. Focusing on periodic approximations generated by iterating substitutions on initial configurations, we analyze how…

For a given self-adjoint operator $A$ with discrete spectrum, we completely characterize possible eigenvalues of its rank-one perturbations~$B$ and discuss the inverse problem of reconstructing $B$ from its spectrum.

In this study, we are concerned with spectral problems of second-order vector dynamic equations with two-point boundary value conditions and mixed derivatives, where the matrix-valued coefficient of the leading term may be singular, and the…

In this article, we introduce a general theoretical framework to analyze non-consistent approximations of the discrete eigenmodes of a self-adjoint operator. We focus in particular on the discrete eigenvalues laying in spectral gaps. We…

We consider a second order self-adjoint operator in a domain which can be bounded or unbounded. The boundary is partitioned into two parts with Dirichlet boundary condition on one of them, and Neumann condition on the other. We assume that…

Spectra of the second derivative operators corresponding to the special PT-symmetric point interactions are studied. The results are partly the completion of those obtained in [1]. The particular PT-symmetric point interactions causing…

Spectral inclusion and spectral pollution results are proved for sequences of linear operators of the form $T_0 + i \gamma s_n$ on a Hilbert space, where $s_n$ is strongly convergent to the identity operator and $\gamma > 0$. We work in…

The second-order statistics (SOS) can be applied in estimation of the pure spectra of chemical components from the spectrum of their mixture, when SOS seems to be good at estimation of spectral patterns, but their peak directions are…
