Regularized traces of singular differential operators with canonical boundary conditions

A self-adjoint differential operator \(\mathbb{L}\) of order 2m is considered in L ₂[0,∞) with the classic boundary conditions \(y^{(k_1 )} (0) = y^{(k_2 )} (0) = y^{(k_3 )} (0) = \ldots = y^{(k_m )} (0) = 0\), where 0 ≤ k ₁ < k ₂ < ... < k _m ≤ 2m ? 1 and {k _s } _s=1 ^m ∪ {2m ? 1 ? k _s } _s=1 ^m = {0, 1, 2, ..., 2m ? 1}. The operator \(\mathbb{L}\) is perturbed by the operator of multiplication by a real measurable bounded function q(x) with a compact support: \(\mathbb{P}\) f(x) = q(x)f(x), f ∈ L ₂[0,∞). The regularized trace of the operator \(\mathbb{L} + \mathbb{P}\) is calculated.     

Regularized traces of discrete operators

Unbounded perturbations of discrete operators are considered. Formulas for regularized traces are obtained, in which a finite number of corrections of the perturbation theory are used. An exact relation is established between the degree of subordination of a perturbation to the unperturbed operator and the number of corrections necessary for the existence of a finite formula of the trace. New estimates for the kernel norm of a resolvent of discrete operators are obtained.     

Bounds for eigenvalues of singular differential operators

The spectrum of the Sturm-Liouville operator is studied, and the principal results consist of two-sided bounds of the eigenvalue distribution and of a criterion establishing that the resolvent belongs to a symmetrically normed ideal .Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 20, No. 6, pp. 859–867, December, 1976.In conclusion the author expresses his gratitude to M. Z. Solomyak for valuable critical remarks.     

Regular approximation of singular self-adjoint differential operators

Given a singular self-adjoint differential operator of order 2n with real coefficients we constructtwo sequences of regular self-adjoint differential expressions^r which converge to ina generalized sense of resolvent convergence. The first constructionis suitable when no information about the real resolvent setof is available. The second is suitablewhen we know a real point of the resolvent set of .The main application of this construction is in numerical solutionof singular differential equations.

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,∞).

On the eigenvalues of certain canonical higher-order ordinary differential operators

We consider the operator of taking the 2pth derivative of a function with zero boundary conditions for the function and its first p−1 derivatives at two distinct points. Our main result provides an asymptotic formula for the eigenvalues and resolves a question on the appearance of certain regular numbers in the eigenvalue sequences for p=1 and p=3.     

Basis of splines associated with some singular differential operators

Functions being piecewise in Ker (D ^k DpD) are a special case of Chebyshev splines having one nontrivial weight and also a special case of singular splines. An algorithm is designed which enables calculating with related B-splines and their derivatives. Ifp(t) is approximated by a piecewise constant, an interesting recurrence for calculating with polynomial B-splines is obtained.
