Starlikeness and subordination properties of a linear operator

In this paper, we introduce a new class of p-valent analytic functions defined by using a linear operator L_k^α. For functions in this class H_k^α(p,λh) we estimate the coefficients. Furthermore, some subordination properties related to the operator L_k^α are also derived.     

Asymptotics of the discrete spectrum of a model operator associated with a system of three particles on a lattice

We consider a model Schrödinger operator H_μ associated with a system of three particles on the threedimensional lattice ? ³ with a functional parameter of special form. We prove that if the corresponding Friedrichs model has a zero-energy resonance, then the operator H_μ has infinitely many negative eigenvalues accumulating at zero (the Efimov effect). We obtain the asymptotic expression for the number of eigenvalues of H_μ below z as z → ?0.     

Inverse Scattering for a Schroedinger Operator with a Repulsive Potential

We consider a pair of Hamiltonians （H, H0） on L2（R^n）, where H0=p^2 -x^2 is a SchrSdinger operator with a repulsive potential, and H = H0＋V（x）. We show that, under suitable assumptions on the decay of the electric potential, V is uniquely determined by the high energy limit of the scattering operator.     

Traces of operators with a relatively compact perturbation

This is a continuation of the authors’ series of papers on the theory of regularized traces of abstract discrete operators. We prove a theorem in which the perturbing operator B is subordinate to the operator A ₀ in the sense that BA ₀ ^?δ is a compact operator belonging to some Schatten-von Neumann class of finite order. Apart from covering new classes of operators, and in contrast to our preceding papers, we give a unified statement of the theorem regardless of whether the resolvent of the unperturbed operator belongs to the trace class. Two examples are given in which the result is applied to ordinary differential operators as well as to partial differential operators.     

The best <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript> approximation of the Laplace operator by linear bounded operators in the classes of functions of two and three variables

Close two-sided estimates are obtained for the best approximation in the space L _p (? ^m ), m = 2 and 3, 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞, of the Laplace operator by linear bounded operators in the class of functions for which the second power of the Laplace operator belongs to the space L _p (? ^m ). We estimate the best constant in the corresponding Kolmogorov inequality and the error of the optimal recovery of values of the Laplace operator on functions from this class given with an error. We present an operator whose deviation from the Laplace operator is close to the best.     

A criterion for the existence of decaying solutions in the problem on a resonator with a cylindrical waveguide

For the Helmholtz equation Δu + k ² u = 0 in a domain Ω with a cylindrical outlet Q ₊ = ω × ?₊ to infinity, we construct a fictitious scattering operator $\mathfrak{S}$ that is unitary in L ₂(ω) and establish a bijection between the lineal of decaying solutions of the Dirichlet problem in Ω and the subspace of eigenfunctions of $\mathfrak{S}$ corresponding to the eigenvalue 1 and orthogonal to the eigenfunctions with eigenvalues λ_n ≤ k ² of the Dirichlet problem for the Laplace operator on the cross-section ω.     

Holomorphic functional calculus for operators on a locally convex space

One-variable holomorphic functional calculus is studied on the bornological algebra Lec(E) of all continuous linear oprators on a complete locally convex space E. It is proven that the following three basic notions of the theory are equivalent: (i) existence of projective resolvent of an operator T at a point λ₀, (ii) strict regularity of λ₀ for the operator T in the sense of [12, 13, 15], (iii) tamability of the operator (λ₀ ? T)^?1 (T if λ₀ = ∞), which means that there is a new equivalent system of seminorms on E, such that the operator is bounded in each of them.     

A non-steady flow of liquid in a porous pipe with variable permeability

LetB denote the infinitesimal operator of a strongly continuous semigroup S(t), with resolvent R_λ, on Banach space L. We define related operators P and V so that λR_λf = Pf + λVf + o(λ), as λ → 0⁺. For α, η > 0 and possibly unbounded, linear operator A, we let U_{α, η}(t) represent a strongly continuous semigroup generated by αA + ηB. We show that under appropriate simultaneous convergence of α and η, U_{α, η}(t) converges strongly to a strongly continous semigroup U(t), having infinitesimal operator characterized through PA(VA)^rf where r =min{j ? 0, PA(VA)^j ≠ 0}. We apply the abstract perturbation theorem to a singular perturbation initial-value problem, of Tihonov-type, for a non-linear system of ordinary differential equations.     

On a class of C*-algebras generated by a countable family of partial isometries

The paper investigates the properties of an operator T _φ on the Hilbert space l ²(?), which are induced by the mapping φ of the set ? into itself. It is shown if the mapping φ is such that every preimage has finite, but not equipotentionally bounded cardinality, then the operator T _φ allows a closure and can be represented as a countable sum of partial isometries. The C*-algebras U _φ , P _φ and U _φ associated with given mappings and generated by the mentioned partial isometries are considered. Some properties of these algebras and some relations between them are given.     

On the properties of an operator of stochastic differentiation constructed on a group

We construct a differential operator by an admissible group in the space L ₂ (?^m,P)and study its properties.     

Homogenization of a nonstationary model equation of electrodynamics

In L ₂(?₃;?₃), we consider a self-adjoint operator ? _ε , ε > 0, generated by the differential expression curl η(x/ε)^?1 curl??ν(x/ε) div. Here the matrix function η(x) with real entries and the real function ν(x) are periodic with respect to some lattice, are positive definite, and are bounded. We study the behavior of the operators cos(τ? _ε ^1/2 ) and ? _ε ^?1/2 sin(τ? _ε ^1/2 ) for τ ∈ ? and small ε. It is shown that these operators converge to cos(τ(?⁰)^1/2) and (?₀)^?1/2 sin(τ(?₀)^1/2), respectively, in the norm of the operators acting from the Sobolev space H ^s (with a suitable s) to ?₂. Here ?⁰ is an effective operator with constant coefficients. Error estimates are obtained and the sharpness of the result with respect to the type of operator norm is studied. The results are used for homogenizing the Cauchy problem for the model hyperbolic equation ? _τ ² v _ε = ?? _ε v _ε , div v _ε = 0, appearing in electrodynamics. We study the application to a nonstationary Maxwell system for the case in which the magnetic permeability is equal to 1 and the dielectric permittivity is given by the matrix η(x/ε).     

A constructive procedure to recover asymptotics of short-range or long-range potentials

We study an inverse scattering problem for a pair of Hamiltonians (H,H₀) on L²(Rⁿ), where H₀=-Δ and H=H₀+V, V being a short- or long-range potential. By an elementary constructive method, we show that the scattering operator S, which is localized near a fixed energy λ>0, determines the asymptotics of the potential V at infinity, in dimension n?3. This is done by studying the action of the scattering operator on suitable wave packets.     

Scattering of elastic waves in a perturbed isotropic half space with a free boundary. The limiting absorption principle

In this article we consider the self-adjoint operator governing the propagation of elastic waves in a perturbed isotropic half space with a free boundary condition. We prove the limiting absorption principle in appropriate Hilbert spaces for this operator. We also prove decreasing properties for the eigenfunctions associated with strictly positive eigenvalues of this operator. The proofs are based on the limiting absorption principle for the self-adjoint operator governing the propagation of elastic waves in a homogeneous isotropic half space with a free boundary and on the so called division theorem for it. Both perturbations of R ₊² ={(x₁, x₂) ? R ²; x₂ > 0} and R ₊² = {(x₁, x₂, x₃) ? R ³; x₃ > 0} are considered.     

On Extraction of Smooth Solutions of a Class of Almost Hypoelliptic Equations with Constant Power

A linear differential operator P(x, D) = P(x₁,... x _n , D₁,..., D _n ) = ∑_αγ_α(x)D^α with coefficients γ_α(x) defined in E ⁿ is called formally almost hypoelliptic in E ⁿ if all the derivatives D^ν_ξP(x, ξ) can be estimated by P(x, ξ), and the operator P(x, D) has uniformly constant power in Eⁿ. In the present paper, we prove that if P(x, D) is a formally almost hypoelliptic operator, then all solutions of equation P(x, D)u = 0, which together with some of their derivatives are square integrable with a specified exponential weight, are infinitely differentiable functions.     

Spectral analysis of a Dirac operator with a meromorphic potential

We consider an operator Q(V) of Dirac type with a meromorphic potential given in terms of a function V of the form V(z)=λV₁(z)+μV₂(z), z∈C?{0}, where V₁ is a complex polynomial of 1/z, V₂ is a polynomial of z, and λ and μ are nonzero complex parameters. The operator Q(V) acts in the Hilbert space L²(R²;C⁴)=^⊕4L²(R²). The main results we prove include: (i) the (essential) self-adjointness of Q(V); (ii) the pure discreteness of the spectrum of Q(V); (iii) if V₁(z)=z−p and 4?degV₂?p+2, then kerQ(V)≠{0} and dimkerQ(V) is independent of (λ,μ) and lower order terms of ∂V₂/∂z; (iv) a trace formula for dimkerQ(V).     

Real hypersurfaces in complex two-plane Grassmannians with certain commuting condition II

Lee, Kim and Suh (2012) gave a characterization for real hypersurfaces M of Type (A) in complex two plane Grassmannians G ₂(? ^m+2) with a commuting condition between the shape operator A and the structure tensors φ and φ ₁ for M in G ₂(? ^m+2). Motivated by this geometrical notion, in this paper we consider a new commuting condition in relation to the shape operator A and a new operator φφ ₁ induced by two structure tensors φ and φ ₁. That is, this commuting shape operator is given by φφ ₁ A = A φφ ₁. Using this condition, we prove that M is locally congruent to a tube of radius r over a totally geodesic G ₂(? ^m+1) in G ₂(? ^m+2).     

An Upper Bound of Essential Norm of Composition Operator on H2 （Bn）

The authors give an upper bound of the essential norm of a composition operator on H ²(B _n ), which involves the counting function in the higher dimensional value distribution theory defined by S. S. Chern. A criterion is also given to assure that the composition operator on H ²( _Bn ) is bounded or compact.     

A remark concerning the theory of scattering for a perturbed polyharmonic operator

Let R₀ and R be resolvents of the operators (?δ) ^l and (?δ) ^l +q acting in L₂(E^m). We study the problem of the belonging of the operator R^P?R ₀ ^p to various symmetrically-normed ideals of the ring of bounded operators. We give applications to the theory of scattering.
