Deficiency indices and spectrum of fourth order difference equations with unbounded coefficients

Using subspace theory together with appropriate smoothness and decay conditions, we calculated the deficiency indices and absolutely continuous spectrum of fourth order difference equations with unbounded coefficients. In particular, we found the absolutely continuous spectrum to be ${\mathbb {R}}$ with a spectral multiplicity one.     

Absolutely continuous spectrum of fourth order difference equations

We have studied the absolutely continuous spectrum of a selfadjoint subspace extension generated by a three‐term fourth order difference equation with bounded coefficients using subspace theory. In particular, we have shown that the absolutely continuous spectrum exists outside a certain bounded interval. In addition, we have computed the spectral multiplicity as well as the location of absolutely continuous spectrum of selfadjoint subspace extension under certain asymptotic conditions.

On the possible dimensions of subspace intersections

A problem concerning the dimensions of the intersections of a subspace in the direct sum of a finite number of the finite-dimensional vector spaces with the pairwise sums of direct summands, provided that the subspace intersection with these direct summands is zero has been discussed. The problem is naturally divided into two ones, namely, the existence and representability of the corresponding matroid. Necessary and sufficient conditions of the existence of a matroid with the specified ranks of some subsets of the base set have been given. Using these conditions, necessary conditions of the existence of a matroid with a base set composed of a finite series of pairwise disjoint sets of the full rank and the given ranks of their pairwise unions have been presented. A simple graphical representation of the latter conditions has also been considered. These conditions are also necessary for the subspace to exist. At the end of the paper, a conjecture that these conditions are sufficient has also been stated.     

Spectral properties of singular discrete linear Hamiltonian systems

This paper is concerned with spectral properties of singular discrete linear Hamiltonian systems. It is shown that properties of the essential spectrum of each self-adjoint subspace extension (SSE) of the corresponding minimal subspace are independent of the values of the coefficients of the system on any finite subinterval. The analyticity of the Weyl function is studied by employing the Schwarz reflection principle for the system in the limit point case. Based on the above work, several sufficient conditions are obtained for each SSE to have no essential spectrum points in an interval of the real line in the strong limit point case, and then a sufficient condition for the essential spectrum to be bounded from below (above) and a sufficient condition for the pure discrete spectrum are presented, respectively. As a direct consequence, the related spectral properties of singular higher order symmetric vector difference expressions are given.     

Filling in the holes of the semi-Fredholm domain

We study the following problem: given a set of holes in the semi-Fredholm domain of an operator, is there an invariant subspace of the operator such that the spectrum of the restriction is equal to the spectrum of the operator together with the set of holes?     

On discrete symplectic systems: Associated maximal and minimal linear relations and nonhomogeneous problems

In this paper we characterize the definiteness of the discrete symplectic system, study a nonhomogeneous discrete symplectic system, and introduce the minimal and maximal linear relations associated with these systems. Fundamental properties of the corresponding deficiency indices, including a relationship between the number of square summable solutions and the dimension of the defect subspace, are also derived. Moreover, a sufficient condition for the existence of a densely defined operator associated with the symplectic system is provided.     

Reducing subspaces of compressed analytic Toeplitz operators on the Hardy space

In this paper we discuss necessary conditions and sufficient conditions for the compression of an analytic Toeplitz operator onto a shift coinvariant subspace to have nontrivial reducing subspaces. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the kernel of a Toeplitz operator whose symbol is the quotient of two inner functions to be nontrivial and obtain examples of reducing subspaces from these kernels. Motivated by this result we give necessary conditions and sufficient conditions for the kernel of a Toeplitz operator whose symbol is the quotient of two inner functions to be nontrivial in terms of the supports of the two inner functions. By studying the commutant of a compression, we are able to give a necessary condition for the existence of reducing subspaces on certain shift coinvariant subspaces.     

Optimality criteria without constraint qualifications for linear semidefinite problems

We consider two closely related optimization problems: a problem of convex semi-infinite programming with multidimensional index set and a linear problem of semi-definite programming. In the study of these problems we apply the approach suggested in our recent paper [14] and based on the notions of immobile indices and their immobility orders. For the linear semi-definite problem, we define the subspace of immobile indices and formulate the first-order optimality conditions in terms of a basic matrix of this subspace. These conditions are explicit, do not use constraint qualifications, and have the form of a criterion. An algorithm determining a basis of the subspace of immobile indices in a finite number of steps is suggested. The optimality conditions obtained are compared with other known optimality conditions.     

Geometrically infinite surfaces with discrete length spectra

It is well-known that the length spectrum of a geometrically finite hyperbolic manifold is discrete. In this paper, we begin a study of the length spectrum for geometrically infinite hyperbolic surfaces. In this generality, it is possible that the spectrum is not discrete and the main focus of this work is to find necessary and sufficient conditions for a geometrically infinite surface to have a discrete spectrum. After deriving a number of properties of the length spectrum, we show that every topological surface of infinite type admits both an infinite dimensional family of quasiconformally distinct hyperbolic structures having a discrete length spectrum, and an infinite dimensional family of quasiconformally distinct structures with a nondiscrete spectrum. Moreover, there exists such an infinite dimensional subspace arbitrarily close to (in the Fenchel-Nielsen topology) any hyperbolic structure.      

Trace Formulas for Some Operators Related To Quadrature Domains in Riemann Surfaces

This note studies the trace formula of a class of pure operators A with finite rank self-commutators satisfying the condition that there is a finite dimensional subspace containing the image of the self-commutator and invariant with respect to A ^*. Besides, in this class, the spectrum of the operator A is covered by the projection of a union of quadrature domains in some Riemann surfaces.     

Numerical Taylor expansions of invariant manifolds in large dynamical systems

Summary. In this paper we develop a numerical method for computing higher order local approximations of invariant manifolds, such as stable, unstable or center manifolds near steady states of a dynamical system. The underlying system is assumed to be large in the sense that a large sparse Jacobian at the equilibrium occurs, for which only a linear (black box) solver and a low dimensional invariant subspace is available, but for which methods like the QR–Algorithm are considered to be too expensive. Our method is based on an analysis of the multilinear Sylvester equations for the higher derivatives which can be solved under certain nonresonance conditions. These conditions are weaker than the standard gap conditions on the spectrum which guarantee the existence of the invariant manifold. The final algorithm requires the solution of several large linear systems with a bordered Jacobian. To these systems we apply a block elimination method recently developed by Govaerts and Pryce [12, 14]. Received March 12, 1996 / Revised version reveiced August 8, 1997     

Spectral theory of difference operators with almost constant coefficients

The spectrum of higher even order difference operators with almost constant coefficients is determined. With appropriate smoothness and decay conditions on the coefficients, we show that singular continuous spectrum is absent and that the absolutely continuous spectrum agrees with that of the constant coefficient limiting operator. For such operators, the absolutely continuous spectrum is determined uniquely by the range of the characteristic polynomial. This result extends a similar result for even order differential operators. The methods of proof are closely related likewise. Finally, some results on fourth order operators with unbounded coefficients are shown.

On discreteness of the spectrum of a class of mixed-type singular differential operators

In this paper, the conditions are found on the coefficients that ensure the existence of the resolvent and the discreteness of spectrum for a class of singular differential operators.     

Exponentials Reproducing Subdivision Schemes

This paper is concerned with a family of nonstationary, interpolatory subdivision schemes that have the capability of reproducing functions in a finite-dimensional subspace of exponential polynomials. We give conditions for the existence and uniqueness of such schemes, and analyze their convergence and smoothness. It is shown that the refinement rules of an even-order exponentials reproducing scheme converge to the Dubuc—Deslauriers interpolatory scheme of the same order, and that both schemes have the same smoothness. Unlike the stationary case, the application of a nonstationary scheme requires the computation of a different rule for each refinement level. We show that the rules of an exponentials reproducing scheme can be efficiently derived by means of an auxiliary orthogonal scheme , using only linear operations. The orthogonal schemes are also very useful tools in fitting an appropriate space of exponential polynomials to a given data sequence.     

All-Time Existence of Smooth Solutions to PDEs of Mixed Type and the Invariant Subspace of Uniform States

We prove a general result concerning the all-time existence of smooth solutions of the space-periodic Cauchy problem for a class of PDEs which involve the coupling of a linear with a nonlinear operator. The initial data are assumed to have small deviations from a constant state. Cases of particular interest are hyperbolic-parabolic systems. For their linear part, we develop simple algebraic conditions which guarantee the applicability of our general all-time existence result. Applications include a complex model of magnetogasdynamics, including dispersion due to Hall currents. Results for standard MHD and gasdynamic systems follow as special cases. We also treat multidimensional viscous Boussinesq equations, which are of third order in space. In these applications, the modes corresponding to spatially uniform states will not decay with increasing time, but are associated with a finite dimensional invariant subspace consisting of all constant states. This subspace may consist solely of stationary states or may contain nontrivial dynamics. An example of the latter is provided by the Boussinesq system if Coriolis forces are included. In either case, the technical complications arising from the invariant subspace of constant states makes our result different from corresponding all-time existence results on the whole space or with other boundary conditions.     

Local spectral theory for normal operators in Krein spaces

Sign type spectra are an important tool in the investigation of spectral properties of selfadjoint operators in Krein spaces. It is our aim to show that also sign type spectra for normal operators in Krein spaces provide insight in the spectral nature of the operator: If the real part and the imaginary part of a normal operator in a Krein space have real spectra only and if the growth of the resolvent of the imaginary part (close to the real axis) is of finite order, then the normal operator possesses a local spectral function defined for Borel subsets of the spectrum which belong to positive (negative) type spectrum. Moreover, the restriction of the normal operator to the spectral subspace corresponding to such a Borel subset is a normal operator in some Hilbert space. In particular, if the spectrum consists entirely out of positive and negative type spectrum, then the operator is similar to a normal operator in some Hilbert space. We use this result to show the existence of operator roots of a class of quadratic operator polynomials with normal coefficients.
