Using simple commutator relations, we obtain several trace identities involving eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of an abstract self-adjoint operator acting in a Hilbert space. Applications involve abstract universal estimates for the…

Given a complex, separable Hilbert space $\cH$, we consider differential expressions of the type $\tau = - (d^2/dx^2) + V(x)$, with $x \in (a,\infty)$ or $x \in \bbR$. Here $V$ denotes a bounded operator-valued potential $V(\cdot) \in…

Given any compact hyperbolic surface $M$, and a closed geodesic on $M$, we construct of a sequence of quasimodes on $M$ whose microlocal lifts concentrate positive mass on the geodesic. Thus, the Quantum Unique Ergodicity (QUE) property…

In this paper, we study spectral properties of generalized weighted Hilbert matrices. In particular, we establish results on the spectral norm, determinant, as well as various relations between the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of such…

There is a wealth of applied problems that can be posed as a dynamical system defined on a network with both attractive and repulsive interactions. Some examples include: understanding synchronization properties of nonlinear oscillator;,…

We consider weighted graphs, we equip them with a metric structure given by a weighted distance, and we discuss essential self-adjointness for weighted graph Laplacians and Schr\"odinger operators in the metrically non complete case.

We analyze the spectra of generalized Fibonacci and Fibonacci-like operators in Banach space $l^1$. Some of the results have application in population dynamics.

Let M be a surface with conical singularities, and consider a degenerating family of surfaces obtained from M by removing disks of smaller and smaller radius around a subset of the conical singularities. Such families arise naturally in the…

Otsuki tori form a countable family of immersed minimal two-dimensional tori in the unitary three-dimensional sphere. According to El Soufi-Ilias theorem, the metrics on the Otsuki tori are extremal for some unknown eigenvalues of the…

The paper is devoted to optimization of resonances associated with 1-D wave equations in inhomogeneous media. The medium's structure is represented by a nonnegative function B. The problem is to design for a given $\alpha \in \R$ a medium…

Inverse nodal problem on diffusion operator is the problem of finding the potential functions and parameters in the boundary conditions by using nodal data. In particular, we solve the reconstruction and stability problems using nodal set…

Self-adjoint Schr\"odinger operators with $\delta$ and $\delta'$-potentials supported on a smooth compact hypersurface are defined explicitly via boundary conditions. The spectral properties of these operators are investigated, regularity…

In this study, inverse nodal problem is solved for p-Laplacian Schr\"odinger equation with energy-dependent potential with the Drichlet conditions. Asymptotic estimates of eigenvalues, nodal points and nodal lengths are given by using…

Let G=SO(n,1) and Gamma a geometrically finite Zariski dense subgroup of G which is contained in an arithmetic subgroup of G. Denoting by Gamma(q) the principal congruence subgroup of Gamma of level q, and fixing a positive number \lambda_0…

We consider a pencil of non-self-adjoint matrix Sturm-Liouville operators on the half line and study the inverse problem of constructing this pencil by its Weyl matrix. A uniqueness theorem is proved, and a constructive algorithm for the…

Friedland (1981) showed that for a nonnegative square matrix A, the spectral radius r(e^D A) is a log-convex functional over the real diagonal matrices D. He showed that for fully indecomposable A, log r(e^D A) is strictly convex over D_1,…

Consider the eigenfunctions $u$ for a ree rectangular membrane wo that $-\Delta u=\lambda u$ on $\mathcal R(c,d)=(0,d)\times(0,d)$. In this note we show that if if $u>0$ on $\partial \mathcal R(c,d)) then $u\equiv C$ for some positive…

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…

This works deals with one dimensional infinite perturbation - namely line defects - in periodic media. In optics, such defects are created to construct an (open) waveguide that concentrates light. The existence and the computation of the…

We obtain the asymptotic formulas for the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Sturm-Liouville operators with some regular boundary conditions. Using these formulas, we find sufficient conditions on the potential q such that the root…
