Canonical forms for boundary conditions of self-adjoint differential operators

Canonical forms of boundary conditions are important in the study of the eigenvalues of boundary conditions and their numerical computations. The known canonical forms for self-adjoint differential operators, with eigenvalue parameter dependent boundary conditions, are limited to 4-th order differential operators. We derive canonical forms for self-adjoint $2n$-th order differential operators with eigenvalue parameter dependent boundary conditions. We compare the 4-th order canonical forms to the canonical forms derived in this article.     

New canonical forms of self-adjoint boundary conditions for regular differential operators of order four

In this paper, we find new canonical forms of self-adjoint boundary conditions for regular differential operators of order two and four. In the second order case the new canonical form unifies the coupled and separated canonical forms which were known before. Our fourth order forms are similar to the new second order ones and also unify the coupled and separated forms. Canonical forms of self-adjoint boundary conditions are instrumental in the study of the dependence of eigenvalues on the boundary conditions and for their numerical computation. In the second order case this dependence is now well understood due to some surprisingly recent results given the long history and voluminous literature of Sturm-Liouville problems. And there is a robust code for their computation: SLEIGN2.     

Canonical forms of self-adjoint boundary conditions for differential operators of order four

Canonical forms of regular self-adjoint boundary conditions for differential operators are well known in the second order i.e. Sturm–Liouville case. In this paper we find canonical forms for fourth order self-adjoint boundary conditions.     

The classification of self-adjoint boundary conditions: Separated, coupled, and mixed

There are three basic types of self-adjoint regular and singular boundary conditions: separated, coupled, and mixed. For even order problems with real coefficients, one regular endpoint and arbitrary deficiency index d, we give a construction for each type and determine the number of possible conditions of each type under the assumption that there are d linearly independent square-integrable solutions for some real value of the spectral parameter. In the separated case our construction yields non-real conditions for all orders greater than two. It is well known that no such conditions exist in the second order case. Our construction gives a direct alternative to the recent construction of Everitt and Markus which uses the theory of symplectic spaces. We believe our construction will prove useful in the spectral analysis of these operators and in obtaining canonical forms of self-adjoint boundary conditions. Such forms are known only in the second order, i.e. Sturm-Liouville, case. Even for regular problems of order four no such forms are available.     

The classification of self-adjoint boundary conditions of differential operators with two singular endpoints

For general even order linear ordinary differential equations with real coefficients and endpoints which are regular or singular and for arbitrary deficiency index d, the self-adjoint domains are determined by d linearly independent boundary conditions. These conditions are of three types: separated, coupled, and mixed. We give a construction for all conditions of each type and determine the number of conditions of each type possible for a given self-adjoint domain. Our construction gives a direct alternative to the recent construction of Everitt and Markus which uses the theory of symplectic spaces. We believe our construction will prove useful in the spectral analysis of these operators and in obtaining canonical forms of self-adjoint boundary conditions. Such forms are known only in the second order, i.e. Sturm-Liouville, case. Even for regular problems of order four no such forms are available. In the case when all d conditions are separated this construction yields explicit non-real conditions for all orders greater than two. It is well known that no such conditions exist in the second order case.     

Spectral Estimates for Resolvent Differences of Self-Adjoint Elliptic Operators

The concept of quasi boundary triples and Weyl functions from extension theory of symmetric operators in Hilbert spaces is developed further and spectral estimates for resolvent differences of two self-adjoint extensions in terms of general operator ideals are proved. The abstract results are applied to self-adjoint realizations of second order elliptic differential operators on bounded and exterior domains, and partial differential operators with δ-potentials supported on hypersurfaces are studied.     

Regularity of self-adjoint boundary conditions

It is shown that self-adjoint boundary conditions for ordinary differential operators of odd order are regular in Birkhoff's sense. A similar result, for differential operators of even order, was proved by a different method by Salaff. In short, Kamke's hypothesis about the regularity of self-adjoint boundary conditions is completely confirmed.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 22, No. 6, pp. 835–846, December, 1977.In conclusion, the author thanks A. P. Khromov for suggesting the problem and guidance.     

On Ambarzumyan-type theorems

Generalizations of the classical Ambarzumyan theorem are provided for wide classes of self-adjoint differential operators with arbitrary self-adjoint boundary conditions: scalar Sturm–Liouville operators, higher-order differential operators, matrix Sturm–Liouville operators and operators on spatial networks.     

The comparison theorem for Hilbert spaces of entire functions

A generalization of the Sturm comparison theorem is obtained for formally self-adjoint ordinary differential operators of finite order given in canonical form. The result is stated within the vector theory of Hilbert spaces of entire functions when the coefficient space is a finite-dimensional vector space.     

Operator pencils on the algebra of densities

We continue to study equivariant pencil liftings and differential operators on the algebra of densities. We emphasize the role played by the geometry of the extended manifold where the algebra of densities is a special class of functions. Firstly we consider basic examples. We give a projective line of diff(M)-equivariant pencil liftings for first order operators and describe the canonical second order self-adjoint lifting. Secondly we study pencil liftings equivariant with respect to volume preserving transformations. This helps to understand the role of self-adjointness for the canonical pencils. Then we introduce the Duval-Lecomte-Ovsienko (DLO) pencil lifting which is derived from the full symbol calculus of projective quantisation. We use the DLO pencil lifting to describe all regular proj-equivariant pencil liftings. In particular, the comparison of these pencils with the canonical pencil for second order operators leads to objects related to the Schwarzian.
