Spectral properties of a Sturm-Liouville type differential operator with a retarding argument

Spectral properties of a differential operator of Sturm-Liouville type are studied in the case of retarding argument with different boundary conditions. The asymptotics of solutions to the corresponding differential equation is studied in the case of a summable potential. An asymptotics of eigenvalues and an asymptotics of eigenfunctions of the differential operator are calculated for each considered case.     

Inverse Problem for a Fourth-Order Differential Operator with Nonseparated Boundary Conditions

Uniqueness theorems are proved for two inverse problems for a fourth-order differential operator with nonseparated boundary conditions. The first of the problems, which has technical applications, is the problem of identification of a differential equation and two boundary conditions, and the second problem is the problem of identification of a differential equation and four boundary conditions. One of two data sets is used as the spectral data of the problem. The first data set is the spectrum of the problem itself (or three of its eigenvalues) and the spectral data of a system of three problems, and the second data set is the spectrum of the problem itself (or three of its eigenvalues) and the spectra of ten boundary value problems.     

Spectral properties of a fourth-order differential operator with integrable coefficients

The aim of this paper is to study spectral properties of differential operators with integrable coefficients and a constant weight function. We analyze the asymptotic behavior of solutions to a differential equation with integrable coefficients for large values of the spectral parameter. To find the asymptotic behavior of solutions, we reduce the differential equation to a Volterra integral equation. We also obtain asymptotic formulas for the eigenvalues of some boundary value problems related to the differential operator under consideration.     

On the Asymptotics of Eigenvalues of a Fourth-Order Differential Operator with Matrix Coefficients

We study a fourth-order differential operator with matrix coefficients whose domain is determined by the Dirichlet boundary conditions. An asymptotics of the weighted average of the eigenvalues of this operator is obtained in the general case. As a consequence of this result, we present the asymptotics of the eigenvalues in several special cases. The obtained results significantly improve the already known asymptotic formulas for the eigenvalues of a one-dimensional fourth-order differential operator.

Nonstrictly hyperbolic systems of conservation laws of the conjugate type

We consider an inverse boundary problem for a general second order self-adjoint elliptic differential operator on a compact differential manifold with boundary. The inverse problem is that of the reconstruction of the manifold and operator via all but finite number of eigenvalues and traces on the boundary of the corresponding eigenfunctions of the operator. We prove that the data determine the manifold and the operator to within the group of the generalized gauge transformations. The proof is based upon a procedure of the reconstruction of a canonical object in the orbit of the group. This object, the canonical Schrödinger operator, is uniquely determined via its incomplete boundary spectral data.     

Asymptotics of Eigenvalues of Differential Operator With Alternating Weight Function

We study a differential operator of the sixth order with an alternating weight function. The potential of the operator has a first-order discontinuity at some point of the segment, where the operator is being considered. The boundary conditions are separated. We study the asymptotics of solutions to the corresponding differential equations and the asymptotics of eigenvalues of the considered differential operator.     

Hyperbolicity of periodic solutions of functional differential equations with several delays

We study conditions for the hyperbolicity of periodic solutions to nonlinear functional differential equations in terms of the eigenvalues of the monodromy operator. The eigenvalue problem for the monodromy operator is reduced to a boundary value problem for a system of ordinary differential equations with a spectral parameter. This makes it possible to construct a characteristic function. We prove that the zeros of this function coincide with the eigenvalues of the monodromy operator and, under certain additional conditions, the multiplicity of a zero of the characteristic function coincides with the algebraic multiplicity of the corresponding eigenvalue.     

On reflecting boundary conditions for space-fractional equations on a finite interval: Proof of the matrix transfer technique

Even in the one-dimensional case, dealing with the analysis of space-fractional differential equations on finite domains is a difficult issue. On a finite interval coupled with zero flux boundary conditions, different approaches have been proposed to define a space-fractional differential operator and to compute the solution to the corresponding fractional problem, but to the best of our knowledge, a clear relationship between these strategies is yet to be established. Here, by using the theory of α-stable symmetric Lévy flights and the master equation, we derive a discrete representation of the non-local operator embedding in its definition the concept of reflecting boundary conditions. We refer to this discrete operator as the reflection matrix and provide (and prove) a theorem on the analytic expression of its eigenvalues and eigenvectors. We then use this result to compare the reflection matrix to the discrete operator defined via the matrix transfer technique, and establish the validity of the latter technique in producing the correct solution to a space-fractional differential equation on a finite interval with reflecting boundary conditions. We finally discuss and emphasize the challenges in the generalisation of the proposed result to more than one spatial dimension.

Spectral Analysis of an Operator Arising in Fluid Dynamics

Eigenmode solutions are very important in stability analysis of dynamical systems. The set of eigenvalues of a non-self-adjoint differential operator originated from the linearization of some Cauchy problem is investigated. It is shown that the eigenvalues are purely imaginary, and that they are related to the eigenvalues of Heun's differential equation. These two results are used to derive the asymptotic behavior of the eigenvalues and to compute them numerically.

A One-Dimensional Schrödinger Operator with Square-Integrable Potential

We study the spectral properties of a one-dimensional Schrödinger operator with squareintegrable potential whose domain is defined by the Dirichlet boundary conditions. The main results are concerned with the asymptotics of the eigenvalues, the asymptotic behavior of the operator semigroup generated by the negative of the differential operator under consideration. Moreover, we derive deviation estimates for the spectral projections and estimates for the equiconvergence of the spectral decompositions. Our asymptotic formulas for eigenvalues refine the well-known ones.     

Discrete Sturm-Liouville Problems With Parameter in the Boundary Conditions

This paper deals with discrete second order Sturm-Liouville problems in which the parameter that is part of the Sturm-Liouville difference equation also appears linearly in the boundary conditions. An appropriate Green's formula is developed for this problem, which leads to the fact that the eigenvalues are simple, and that they are real under appropriate restrictions. A boundary value problem can be expressed by a system of equations, and finding solutions to a boundary value problem is equivalent to finding the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the coefficient matrix of a related linear system. Thus, the behavior of eigenvalues and eigenvectors is investigated using techniques in linear algebra, and a linear-algebraic proof is given that the eigenvalues are distinct under appropriate restrictions. The operator is extended to a self-adjoint operator and an expansion theorem is proved.     

Patterns in parabolic problems with nonlinear boundary conditions

We obtain existence of asymptotically stable nonconstant equilibrium solutions for semilinear parabolic equations with nonlinear boundary conditions on small domains connected by thin channels. We prove the convergence of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator in such domains. This information is used to show that the asymptotic dynamics of the heat equation in this domain is equivalent to the asymptotic dynamics of a system of two ordinary differential equations diffusively (weakly) coupled. The main tools employed are the invariant manifold theory and a uniform trace theorem.

The location of the eigenvalues is discussed and the first four terms of the eigenvalue asymptotics are evaluated explicitly.     

On the existence of nonnegative solutions to an integral equation with applications to boundary value problems

Properties of eigenvalues and spectral singularities for impulsive quadratic pencil of difference operators

In this paper, we investigate the spectral analysis of impulsive quadratic pencil of difference operators. We first present a boundary value problem consisting one interior impulsive point on the whole axis corresponding to the above mentioned operator. After introducing the solutions of impulsive quadratic pencil of difference equation, we obtain the asymptotic equation of the function related to the Wronskian of these solutions to be helpful for further works, then we determine resolvent operator and continuous spectrum. Finally, we provide sufficient conditions guarenteeing finiteness of eigenvalues and spectral singularities by means of uniqueness theorems of analytic functions. The main aim of this paper is demonstrating the impulsive quadratic pencil of difference operator is of finite number of eigenvalues and spectral singularities with finite multiplicities which is an uninvestigated problem proposed in the literature.
