Let $A$ be a positive bounded operator on a Hilbert space $\big(\mathcal{H}, \langle \cdot, \cdot\rangle \big)$. The semi-inner product ${\langle x, y\rangle}_A := \langle Ax, y\rangle$, $x, y\in\mathcal{H},$ induces a seminorm…

The Hilbert space in PT-symmetric quantum mechanics is formulated as a linear vector space with a dynamic inner product. The most general PT-symmetric matrix Hamiltonians are constructed for 2*2 and 3*3 cases. In the former case, the…

The paper is largely concerned with the possibility of obtaining a series representation for a compact linear map $T$ acting between Banach spaces. It is known that, using the notions of $j-$eigenfunctions and $j-$% eigenvalues, such a…

We represent low dimensional quantum mechanical Hamiltonians by moderately sized finite matrices that reproduce the lowest O(10) boundstate energies and wave functions to machine precision. The method extends also to Hamiltonians that are…

In this paper we give a matrix version of Handelman's Positivstellensatz [1], representing polynomial matrices which are positive definite on convex, compact polyhedra. Moreover, we propose also a procedure to find such a representation. As…

This paper establishes new Positivstellens\"atze for polynomials that are positive on sets defined by polynomial matrix inequalities (PMIs). We extend the classical Handelman and Krivine-Stengle theorems from the scalar inequality setting…

The potential -x^4, which is unbounded below on the real line, can give rise to a well-posed bound state problem when x is taken on a contour in the lower-half complex plane. It is then PT-symmetric rather than Hermitian. Nonetheless it has…

We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a Hilbert space-valued Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process to be reversible with respect to its invariant measure $\mu$. For a reversible process the domain of its generator in $L^p(\mu )$ is…

Accretive partial transpose (APT) matrices have been recently defined, as a natural extension of positive partial transpose (PPT) matrices. In this paper, we discuss further properties of APT matrices in a way that extends some of those…

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a complex Hilbert space and let $A$ be a positive operator on $\mathcal{H}$. We obtain new bounds for the $A$-numerical radius of operators in semi-Hilbertian space $\mathcal{B}_A(\mathcal{H})$ that generalize and…

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a linear space equipped with an indefinite inner product $[\cdot, \cdot]$. Denote by $\mathcal{F}_{++}=\{f\in\mathcal{H} \ : \ [f,f]>0\}$ the nonlinear set of positive vectors in $\mathcal{H}$. We demonstrate that the…

We discuss the problem of perturbation of spectral subspaces for linear self-adjoint operators on a separable Hilbert space. Let $A$ and $V$ be bounded self-adjoint operators. Assume that the spectrum of $A$ consists of two disjoint parts…

A Hilbert space operator $S\in\B$ is $n$-quasi left $m$-invertible (resp., left $m$-invertible) by $T\in\B$, $m,n \geq 1$ some integers, if $S^{*n}p(S,T)S^n=0$ (resp., $p(S,T)=0$), where…

In this paper, we provide the spectral decomposition in Hilbert space of the $\mathcal{C}_0$-semigroup $P$ and its adjoint $\hatP$ having as generator, respectively, the Caputo and the right-sided Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives of…

A well-known fact in linear algebra is that $A^T A$ is always positive semi-definite for any real matrix $A$. We consider a generalization of this fact via the following decision problem. Given a symbolic product of length $k$, consisting…

Exceptional points of a class of non-hermitian Hamilton operators $\hat H$ of the form $\hat H=\hat H_0+i\hat H_1$ are studied, where $\hat H_0$ and $\hat H_1$ are hermitian operators. Finite dimensional Hilbert spaces are considered. The…

Let $H$ be a real Hilbert space. In this short note, using some of the properties of bounded linear operators with closed range defined on $H$, certain bounds for a specific convex subset of the solution set of infinite linear…

A major problem in system identification is the incorporation of prior knowledge about the physical properties of the given system, such as stability, positivity and passivity. In this paper, we present first steps towards tackling this…

In this paper, spectral properties of matrices with (complex) zeon entries are investigated. It is shown that when $A$ is an $m\times m$ self-adjoint matrix whose characteristic polynomial $\chi_A(u)$ has $m$ ``spectrally simple'' zeros…
