Radial eigenfunctions of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on compact rank-one symmetric spaces may be expressed in terms of Jacobi polynomials. We use this fact to prove an identity for Jacobi polynomials which is inspired by results of Minakshisundaram-Pleijel and Zelditch on the Fourier coefficients of a smooth measure supported on a compact submanifold of a compact Riemannian manifold.
We study the Schrödinger operator in the plane with a step magnetic field function. The bottom of its spectrum is described by the infimum of the lowest eigenvalue band function, for which we establish the existence and uniqueness of the non-degenerate minimum. We discuss the curvature effects on the localization properties of magnetic ground states, among other applications.
In this work, we find the asymptotic formulas for the sum of the negative eigenvalues smaller than $-\varepsilon$ $(\varepsilon >0)$ of a self-adjoint operator $L$ which is defined by the following differential expression $$\ell(y)=-(p(x)y'(x))'-Q(x)y(x)$$ with the boundary condition $y(0) = 0$ in the space in the space $L_{2}(0,\infty ;H)$.
This paper is about a shape optimization problem related to the Dirichlet Laplacian eingevalues in the Euclidean plane. More precisely we study the shape of the minimizer in the class of open sets of constant width. We prove that the disk is not a local minimizer except for a limited number of eigenvalues.
We consider the Stark operator perturbed by a compactly supported potential (of a certain class) on the real line. We prove the following results: (a) upper and lower bounds on the number of resonances in complex discs with large radii, (b) the trace formula in terms of resonances only, (c) all resonances determine the potential uniquely.
An n x n permutative matrix is a matrix in which every row is a permutation of the first row. In this paper the result given by Paparella in [Electron. J. Linear Algebra 31 (2016) 306-312] is extended to a more general lists of real and complex numbers, and a negative answer to a question posed by him is given.
We use the "Value Distribution" theory developed by Pearson and Breimesser to obtain a sequence of functions in the eigenvalue parameter for some Sturm-Liouville problems which have the property of being "uniformly asymptotically distributed".
In this paper we find a new condition on a real periodic potential for which the self-adjoint Schrödinger operator may be defined by a quadratic form and the spectrum of the operator is purely absolutely continuous. This is based on resolvent estimates and spectral projection estimates in weighted $L^2$ spaces on the torus, and an oscillatory integral theorem.
We study both $H$ and $E/Z$-eigenvalues of the adjacency tensor of a uniform multi-hypergraph and give conditions for which the largest positive $H$ or $Z$-eigenvalue corresponds to a strictly positive eigenvector. We also investigate when the $E$-spectrum of the adjacency tensor is symmetric.
It is shown the stability of the essential self-adjointness, and an inclusion of the essential spectra of Laplacians under the change of Riemannian metric on a subset K of M. The set K may have infinite volume measured with the new metric and its completion may contain a singular set such as fractal, to which the metric is not extendable.
The spectral problem for the high order differential operator with singular weight is considered. If the weight is a generalized derivative of self-similar function with zero spectral degree the asymptotics of eigenvalues is obtained. They are proved to have exponential growth and depend on the order of differential operator and self-similarity parameters.
Let $H_0$ and $H$ be self-adjoint operators in a Hilbert space. In the scattering theory framework, we describe the essential spectrum of the difference $\varphi(H)-\varphi(H_0)$ for piecewise continuous functions $\varphi$. This description involves the scattering matrix for the pair $H$, $H_0$.
We study the spectral properties of certain non-self-adjoint matrices associated with large directed graphs. Asymptotically the eigenvalues converge to certain curves, apart from a finite number that have limits not on these curves.
We explicitly calculate the scattering matrix at energy zero for attractive, radial and homogeneous long-range potentials. This proves a conjecture by Derezinski and Skibsted.
We give a mathematically rigorous analysis which confirms the surprising results in a recent paper of Benilov, O'Brien and Sazonov about the spectrum of a highly singular non-self-adjoint operator that arises in a problem in fluid mechanics.
We obtain integral boundary decay estimates for solutions of fourth-order elliptic equations on a bounded domain with regular boundary. We apply these estimates to obtain stability bounds for the corresponding eigenvalues under small perturbations of the boundary.
We prove an approximate spectral theorem for non-self-adjoint operators and investigate its applications to second order differential operators in the semi-classical limit. This leads to the construction of a twisted FBI transform. We also investigate the connections between pseudospectra and boundary conditions in the semi-classical limit.
