Upper Bounds for the Laplacian Graph Eigenvalues

We first apply non-negative matrix theory to the matrix K = D A, where D and A are the degree-diagonal and adjacency matrices of a graph G, respectively, to establish a relation on the largest Laplacian eigenvalue λ1 (G) of G and the spectral radius p(K) of K. And then by using this relation we present two upper bounds for λ1(G) and determine the extremal graphs which achieve the upper bounds.

Positivity and Negativity of Solutions to a Schrödinger Equation in ℝ N

Weak L ² -solutions u of the Schrödinger equation, –u + q(x) u – u = f(x) in L ² , are represented by a Fourier series using spherical harmonics in order to prove the following strong maximum and anti-maximum principles in (N 2): Let ₁ denote the positive eigenfunction associated with the principal eigenvalue ₁ of the Schrödinger operator . Assume that the potential q(x) is radially symmetric and grows fast enough near infinity, and f is a `sufficiently smooth' perturbation of a radially symmetric function, f 0 and 0 f / C const a.e. in . Then u is ₁-positive for - < < ₁ (i.e., u c ₁ with c const > 0) and ₁-negative for ₁ < < ₁ + (i.e., u –c₁ with c const > 0), where > 0 is a number depending on f. The constant c > 0 depends on both and f.

Nonlinear eigenvalue problems for quasilinear equations in unbounded domains

We prove the existence of a solution of the nonlinear equation in IR^N and in exterior domains, respectively. We concentrate to the case when p ≥ N and the nonlinearity f(x, · ) is “superlinear” and “subcritical”.     

Spectra of Some Interesting Combinatorial Matrices Related to Oriented Spanning Trees on a Directed Graph

The Laplacian of a directed graph G is the matrix L(G) = O(G) –, A(G) where A(G) is the adjaceney matrix of G and O(G) the diagonal matrix of vertex outdegrees. The eigenvalues of G are the eigenvalues of A(G). Given a directed graph G we construct a derived directed graph D(G) whose vertices are the oriented spanning trees of G. Using a counting argument, we describe the eigenvalues of D(G) and their multiplicities in terms of the eigenvalues of the induced subgraphs and the Laplacian matrix of G. Finally we compute the eigenvalues of D(G) for some specific directed graphs G. A recent conjecture of Propp for D(H _n ) follows, where H _n stands for the complete directed graph on n vertices without loops.     

Exact eigenstates for a class of models describing multiphoton processes in the presence of seven bosonic modes

With recent advances in Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC)[1—3], there has beenmuch interest in nonlinear processes in the various disciplines of physics, such asnonlinear multi-wave mixing processes[4]. Now, great efforts are devoted to constructingthe nonlinear quantized models to numerate the energy spectra and eigenstates of thesenonlinear processes[5—8]. But there still remain some problems with regard to interactionsamong several bosonic modes, for example, how to explicitly obtain the…     

Schrödinger Operator Levels for a Crystal Film with a Nonlocal Potential

For a crystal film, we consider the Schrödinger operator defined on Bloch functions (with respect to two variables) in a cell. The potential is the sum of two small terms: a function decreasing with respect to the third variable and an operator of rank one. We prove the existence of two levels (eigenvalues or resonances) near the parameter value E=0 and obtain their asymptotic behavior.
