On certain properties of a nonlinear eigenvalue problem for Hamiltonian systems of ordinary differential equations

Properties of the eigenvalues are examined in a nonlinear self-adjoint eigenvalue problem for linear Hamiltonian systems of ordinary differential equations. In particular, it is proved that, under certain assumptions, every eigenvalue is isolated and there exists an eigenvalue with any prescribed index.

Interior transmission eigenvalue problem with refractive index having C2-transition to the background medium

The interior transmission eigenvalue problem for scalar acoustics is studied for a new class of refractive index. Existence of an infinite discrete set of transmission eigenvalues in the case that the acoustic properties of a domain D???? ⁿ are allowed to have a C ²-transition to the homogeneous background medium is established. It is shown that the transmission problem has a weak formulation on certain weighted Sobolev spaces for this class of refractive index. The weak formulation and the discreteness of the spectrum is justified by using the Hardy inequality to prove compact imbedding theorems. Existence of transmission eigenvalues is demonstrated by investigating a generalized eigenvalue problem associated with the weak formulation.     

A Hardy Type Inequality and Inde Nite Eigenvalue Problems on the Homogeneous Group

Efficient Spectral Methods for Transmission Eigenvalues and Estimation of the Index of Refraction

An important step in estimating the index of refraction of electromagnetic scattering problems is to compute the associated transmission eigenvalue problem. We develop in this paper efficient and accurate spectral methods for computing the transmission eigenvalues associated to the electromagnetic scattering problems. We present ample numerical results to show that our methods are very effective for computing transmission eigenvalues (particularly for computing the smallest eigenvalue), and together with the linear sampling method, provide an efficient way to estimate the index of refraction of a non-absorbing inhomogeneous medium.     

Eigenvalue Characterization and Computation for the Laplacian on General 2-D Domains

In this paper, we address the problem of determining and efficiently computing an approximation to the eigenvalues of the negative Laplacian ? ? on a general domain Ω ? ?² subject to homogeneous Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. The basic idea is to look for eigenfunctions as the superposition of generalized eigenfunctions of the corresponding free space operator, in the spirit of the classical method of particular solutions (MPS). The main novelties of the proposed approach are the possibility of targeting each eigenvalue independently without the need for extensive scanning of the positive real axis and the use of small matrices. This is made possible by iterative inclusion of more basis functions in the expansions and a projection idea that transforms the minimization problem associated with MPS and its variants into a relatively simple zero-finding problem, even for expansions with very few basis functions.

An inverse spectral problem for a nonsymmetric differential operator: Reconstruction of eigenvalue problem

In this paper, an algorithm is established to reconstruct an eigenvalue problem from the given data satisfying certain conditions. These conditions are proved to be not only necessary but also sufficient for the given data to coincide with the spectral characteristics corresponding to the reconstructed eigenvalue problem.     

On the inverse spectral theory in a non-homogeneous interior transmission problem

We study the inverse spectral problem in an interior transmission eigenvalue problem. The Cartwright’s theory in value distribution theory gives a connection between the distributional structure of the eigenvalues and the asymptotic behaviours of its defining functional determinants. Given a sufficient quantity of transmission eigenvalues, we prove a uniqueness of the refraction index in inhomogeneous medium as an uniqueness problem in entire function theory. The asymptotically periodical structure of the zero set of the solutions helps to locate infinitely many eigenvalues of infinite degree of freedom.     

Asymptotics of eigenvalues of the Dirichlet boundary value problem for the Lame operator in a three-dimensional domain with a small cavity

A boundary value problem for the Lame operator in a bounded three-dimensional domain with a small cavity is studied. The domain is filled with an elastic homogeneous isotropic medium that is clamped at the boundary, which corresponds to the Dirichlet boundary condition. The leading term of an asymptotic expansion for the eigenvalue is constructed in the case of the Dirichlet limit problem. The asymptotic expansion is constructed in powers of a small parameter ? that is the diameter of the cavity.

DERIVATIVES OF EIGENPAIRS OF SYMMETRIC QUADRATIC EIGENVALUE PROBLEM

Derivatives of eigenvalues and eigenvectors with respect to parameters in symmetric quadratic eigenvalue problem are studied. The first and second order derivatives of eigenpairs are given. The derivatives are calculated in terms of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the quadratic eigenvalue problem, and the use of state space representation is avoided, hence the cost of computation is greatly reduced. The efficiency of the presented method is demonstrated by considering a spring-mass-damper system.

Extremal Eigenvalues of the Sturm-Liouville Problems with Discontinuous Coefficients

In this paper, an extremal eigenvalue problem to the Sturm-Liouville equations with discontinuous coefficients and volume constraint is investigated. Liouville transformation is applied to change the problem into an equivalent minimization problem. Finite element method is proposed and the convergence for the finite element solution is established. A monotonic decreasing algorithm is presented to solve the extremal eigenvalue problem. A global convergence for the algorithm in the continuous case is proved. A few numerical results are given to depict the efficiency of the method.

A New Completely Integrable Liouville's System Produced by the Ma Eigenvalue Problem

Under the constraint between the potentials and eigenfunctions, the Ma eigenvalue problem is nonlinearized as a new completely integrablc Hamiltonian system (R^{2N}, dp∧dq, H): H = \frac{1}{2}α〈∧q,p〉 - \frac{1}{2}α_3 〈q,q〉 + \frac{α}{4α_3η} 〈q,p〉 〈p,p〉 The involutive solution of the high-order Ma equation is also presented. The new completely integrable Hamiltonian systems are obtained for DLW and Levi eigenvalue problems by reducing the remarkable Ma eigenvalue problem.

Nonnegative realization of spectra having negative real parts

The nonnegative inverse eigenvalue problem (NIEP) is the problem of determining necessary and sufficient conditions for a list of complex numbers σ to be the spectrum of a nonnegative matrix. In this paper the problem is completely solved in the case when all numbers in the given list σ except for one (the Perron eigenvalue) have real parts smaller than or equal to zero.     

Minimization of the ground state of the mixture of two conducting materials in a small contrast regime

We consider the problem of distributing two conducting materials with a prescribed volume ratio in a given domain so as to minimize the first eigenvalue of an elliptic operator with Dirichlet conditions. The gap between the two conductivities is assumed to be small (low contrast regime). For any geometrical configuration of the mixture, we provide a complete asymptotic expansion of the first eigenvalue. We then consider a relaxation approach to minimize the second‐order approximation with respect to the mixture. We present numerical simulations in dimensions two and three to illustrate optimal distributions and the advantage of using a second‐order method. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
