This article is devoted to the spectral analysis of the electro-magnetic Schr\"odinger operator on the Euclidean plane. In the semiclassical limit, we derive a pseudo-differential effective operator that allows us to describe the spectrum…

We study location of eigenvalues of one-dimensional discrete Schr\"odinger operators with complex $\ell^{p}$-potentials for $1\leq p\leq \infty$. In the case of $\ell^{1}$-potentials, the derived bound is shown to be optimal. For $p>1$, two…

We investigate the instability index of the spectral problem $$ -c^2y'' + b^2y + V(x)y = -\mathrm{i} z y' $$ on the line $\mathbb{R}$, where $V\in L^1_{\rm loc}(\mathbb{R})$ is real valued and $b,c>0$ are constants. This problem arises in…
