A dissipative singular Sturm-Liouville problem with a spectral parameter in the boundary condition

In the Hilbert space , we consider nonselfadjoint singular Sturm-Liouville boundary value problem (with two singular end points a and b) in limit-circle cases at a and b, and with a spectral parameter in the boundary condition. The approach is based on the use of the maximal dissipative operator, and the spectral analysis of this operator is adequate for boundary value problem. We construct a selfadjoint dilation of the maximal dissipative operator and its incoming and outgoing spectral representations, which make it possible to determine the scattering matrix of the dilation. We also construct a functional model of the maximal dissipative operator and define its characteristic function in terms of solutions of the corresponding Sturm-Liouville equation. On the basis of the results obtained regarding the theory of the characteristic function, we prove theorems on completeness of the system of eigenvectors and associated vectors of the maximal dissipative operator and Sturm-Liouville boundary value problem.     

Dissipative Schrödinger Operators with Matrix Potentials

Maximal dissipative Schrödinger operators are studied in L ²((–,);E) (dimE=n<) that the extensions of a minimal symmetric operator with defect index (n,n) (in limit-circle case at – and limit point-case at ). We construct a selfadjoint dilation of a dissipative operator, carry out spectral analysis of a dilation, use the Lax–Phillips scattering theory, and find the scattering matrix of a dilation. We construct a functional model of the dissipative operator, determine its characteristic function in terms of the Titchmarsh–Weyl function of selfadjoint operator and investigate its analytic properties. Finally, we prove a theorem on completeness of the eigenvectors and associated vectors of a dissipative Schrödinger operators.     

Dissipative Sturm–Liouville Operators in Limit-Point Case

Dissipative singular Sturm–Liouville operators are studied in the Hilbert space L_w²[a,b) (–<a<b), that the extensions of a minimal symmetric operator in Weyls limit-point case. We construct a selfadjoint dilation of the dissipative operator and its incoming and outgoing spectral representations, which makes it possible to determine the scattering matrix of the dilation. We also construct a functional model of the dissipative operator and define its characteristic function in terms of the Titchmarsh–Weyl function of a selfadjoint operator. Finally, in the case when the Titchmarsh–Weyl function of the selfadjoint operator is a meromorphic in complex plane, we prove theorems on completeness of the system of eigenfunctions and associated functions of the dissipative Sturm–Liouville operators.

Extensions,dilations, and spectral problems of singular Hamiltonian systems

In this paper, we construct a space of boundary values for minimal symmetric 1D Hamiltonian operator with defect index (1,1) (in limit‐point case at a(b) and limit‐circle case at b(a)) acting in the Hilbert space In terms of boundary conditions at a and b, all maximal dissipative, accumulative, and self‐adjoint extensions of the symmetric operator are given. Two classes of dissipative operators are studied. They are called “dissipative at a” and “dissipative at b.” For 2 cases, a self‐adjoint dilation of dissipative operator and its incoming and outgoing spectral representations are constructed. These constructions allow us to establish the scattering matrix of dilation and a functional model of the dissipative operator. Further, we define the characteristic function of the dissipative operators in terms of the Weyl‐Titchmarsh function of the corresponding self‐adjoint operator. Finally, we prove theorems on completeness of the system of root vectors of the dissipative operators.

Selfadjoint operators in S-spaces

We study S-spaces and operators therein. An S-space is a Hilbert space with an additional inner product given by , where U is a unitary operator in . We investigate spectral properties of selfadjoint operators in S-spaces. We show that their spectrum is symmetric with respect to the real axis. As a main result we prove that for each selfadjoint operator A in an S-space we find an inner product which turns S into a Krein space and A into a selfadjoint operator therein. As a consequence we get a new simple condition for the existence of invariant subspaces of selfadjoint operators in Krein spaces, which provides a different insight into this well-know and in general unsolved problem.     

Spectral analysis of nonselfadjoint Schrödinger operators with a matrix potential

Dissipative Schrödinger operators with a matrix potential are studied in L₂((0,∞);E)(dimE=n<∞) which are extension of a minimal symmetric operator L₀ with defect index (n,n). A selfadjoint dilation of a dissipative operator is constructed, using the Lax-Phillips scattering theory, the spectral analysis of a dilation is carried out, and the scattering matrix of a dilation is founded. A functional model of the dissipative operator is constructed and its characteristic function's analytic properties are determined, theorems on the completeness of eigenvectors and associated vectors of a dissipative Schrödinger operator are proved.

A remark on Schatten-von Neumann properties of resolvent differences of generalized Robin Laplacians on bounded domains

In this note we investigate the asymptotic behavior of the s-numbers of the resolvent difference of two generalized self-adjoint, maximal dissipative or maximal accumulative Robin Laplacians on a bounded domain Ω with smooth boundary ∂Ω. For this we apply the recently introduced abstract notion of quasi boundary triples and Weyl functions from extension theory of symmetric operators together with Krein type resolvent formulae and well-known eigenvalue asymptotics of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on ∂Ω. It is shown that the resolvent difference of two generalized Robin Laplacians belongs to the Schatten-von Neumann class of any order p for which

     

Sturm-Liouville operators and their spectral functions

Assume that the differential operator −DpD+q in L²(0,∞) has 0 as a regular point and that the limit-point case prevails at ∞. If p≡1 and q satisfies some smoothness conditions, it was proved by Gelfand and Levitan that the spectral functions σ(t) for the Sturm-Liouville operator corresponding to the boundary conditions (pu′)(0)=τu(0), , satisfy the integrability condition . The boundary condition u(0)=0 is exceptional, since the corresponding spectral function does not satisfy such an integrability condition. In fact, this situation gives an example of a differential operator for which one can construct an analog of the Friedrichs extension, even though the underlying minimal operator is not semibounded. In the present paper it is shown with simple arguments and under mild conditions on the coefficients p and q, including the case p≡1, that there exists an analog of the Friedrichs extension for nonsemibounded second order differential operators of the form −DpD+q by establishing the above mentioned integrability conditions for the underlying spectral functions.     

A Nonself-Adjoint 1D Singular Hamiltonian System with an Eigenparameter in the Boundary Condition

In this paper, we study a nonself-adjoint singular 1D Hamiltonian (or Dirac type) system in the limit-circle case, with a spectral parameter in the boundary condition. Our approach depends on the use of the maximal dissipative operator whose spectral analysis is adequate for the boundary value problem. We construct a self-adjoint dilation of the maximal dissipative operator and its incoming and outgoing spectral representations so that we can determine the scattering matrix of dilation. Moreover, we construct a functional model of the dissipative operator and specify its characteristic function using the solutions of the corresponding Hamiltonian system. Based on the results obtained by the theory of the characteristic function, we prove theorems on completeness of the system of eigenvectors and associated vectors of the dissipative operator and Hamiltonian system.     

Dixmier traces as singular symmetric functionals and applications to measurable operators

We unify various constructions and contribute to the theory of singular symmetric functionals on Marcinkiewicz function/operator spaces. This affords a new approach to the non-normal Dixmier and Connes-Dixmier traces (introduced by Dixmier and adapted to non-commutative geometry by Connes) living on a general Marcinkiewicz space associated with an arbitrary semifinite von Neumann algebra. The corollaries to our approach, stated in terms of the operator ideal L^(1,∞) (which is a special example of an operator Marcinkiewicz space), are: (i) a new characterization of the set of all positive measurable operators from L^(1,∞), i.e. those on which an arbitrary Connes-Dixmier trace yields the same value. In the special case, when the operator ideal L^(1,∞) is considered on a type I infinite factor, a bounded operator x belongs to L^(1,∞) if and only if the sequence of singular numbers {s_n(x)}_n?1 (in the descending order and counting the multiplicities) satisfies . In this case, our characterization amounts to saying that a positive element x∈L^(1,∞) is measurable if and only if exists; (ii) the set of Dixmier traces and the set of Connes-Dixmier traces are norming sets (up to equivalence) for the space , where the space is the closure of all finite rank operators in L^(1,∞) in the norm ∥.∥_(1,∞).     

The one‐dimensional Schrödinger operator on bounded time scales

In this paper, we consider the one‐dimensional Schrödinger operator on bounded time scales. We construct a space of boundary values of the minimal operator and describe all maximal dissipative, maximal accretive, self‐adjoint, and other extensions of the dissipative Schrödinger operators in terms of boundary conditions. In particular, using Lidskii's theorem, we prove a theorem on completeness of the system of root vectors of the dissipative Schrödinger operators on bounded time scales.

Symmetric operators with real defect subspaces of the maximal dimension. Applications to differential operators

Let H be a Hilbert space and let A be a simple symmetric operator in H with equal deficiency indices d:=n_±(A)<∞. We show that if, for all λ in an open interval I⊂R, the dimension of defect subspaces Nλ(A) (=Ker(A^?−λ)) coincides with d, then every self-adjoint extension has no continuous spectrum in I and the point spectrum of is nowhere dense in I. Application of this statement to differential operators makes it possible to generalize the known results by Weidmann to the case of an ordinary differential expression with both singular endpoints and arbitrary equal deficiency indices of the minimal operator.
