The Evans function is an analytic function that encodes information about the intersection of certain subspaces in ODE boundary value problems. As such it is a useful tool for computing the spectrum of boundary value problems arising in the…
Studied here is the effect of the presence of symmetry groups in a system of algebraic equations on the numerical resolution with fixed-point algorithms. It is proved that the symmetries imply two important properties of the system: the…
This article is an expanded version of the plenary talk given by Evans Harrell at QMath98, a meeting in Prague, June 1998. We consider Laplace operators and Schr\"odinger operators with potentials containing curvature on certain regions of…
We prove several numerical radius inequalities for linear operators in Hilbert spaces. It is shown, among other inequalities, that if $A$ is a bounded linear operator on a complex Hilbert space, then \[\omega \left( A \right)\le…
For random operators it is conjectured that spectral properties of an infinite-volume operator are related to the distribution of spectral gaps of finite-volume approximations. In particular, localization and pure point spectrum in infinite…
We derive a lower bound to the spectral threshold of the Dirichlet Laplacian in tubular neighbourhoods of constant radius about complete surfaces. This lower bound is given by the lowest eigenvalue of a one-dimensional operator depending on…
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 a quadratic operator pencil with a small periodic perturbation multiplied by the spectral parameter. It is motivated, in particular, by a one-dimensional Klein-Gordon equation with a time-parity-symmetric perturbation. We study…
We obtain upper bounds for the numerical radius of a product of Hilbert space operators which improve on the existing upper bounds. We generalize the numerical radius inequalities of $n\times n$ operator matrices by using non-negative…

We develop a general approach to study three-dimensional Schroedinger operators with confining potentials depending on the distance to a surface. The main idea is to apply parallel coordinates based on the surface but outside its cut locus…
We complete the picture of sharp eigenvalue estimates for the p-Laplacian on a compact manifold by providing sharp estimates on the first nonzero eigenvalue of the nonlinear operator $\Delta_p$ when the Ricci curvature is bounded from below…

We develop an analytic perturbation theory for eigenvalues with finite multiplicities, embedded into the essential spectrum of a self-adjoint operator $H$. We assume the existence of another self-adjoint operator $A$ for which the family…
An eigenvalue problem arising in optimal insulation related to the minimization of the heat decay rate of an insulated body is adapted to enforce a positive lower bound imposed on the distribution of insulating material. We prove the…
We study operators acting on a tensor product Hilbert space and investigate their product numerical range, product numerical radius and separable numerical range. Concrete bounds for the product numerical range for Hermitian operators are…
Using the polar decomposition of a bounded linear operator $A$ defined on a complex Hilbert space, we obtain several numerical radius inequalities of the operator $A$, which generalize and improve the earlier related ones. Among other…
The term interlacing refers to systematic inequalities between the sequences of eigenvalues of two operators defined on objects related by a specific oper- ation. In particular, knowledge of the spectrum of one of the objects then implies…
