On the basis property of the root functions of differential operators with matrix coefficients

We obtain asymptotic formulas for eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the operator generated by a system of ordinary differential equations with summable coefficients and periodic or antiperiodic boundary conditions. Then using these asymptotic formulas, we find necessary and sufficient conditions on the coefficients for which the system of eigenfunctions and associated functions of the operator under consideration forms a Riesz basis.     

On conditions for the multiple expandability of functions in the root elements of a pencil of ordinary differential operators

We consider a general pencil of linear ordinary differential operators under the weakest possible restrictions on the smoothness of the coefficients. A detailed analysis of the notion of regular boundary conditions is presented. An n-fold expansion formula is obtained.     

On the basis property for the root vectors of some nonselfadjoint operators

When does the root system of a nonselfadjoint operator form a Riesz basis of a Hilbert space? This question is discussed in the paper.     

On the approximation of isolated eigenvalues of ordinary differential operators

We extend a result of Stolz and Weidmann on the approximation of isolated eigenvalues of singular Sturm-Liouville and Dirac operators by the eigenvalues of regular operators.

     

On the projective differential geometry of a non-holonome surface in ordinary space

Sunto. The paper deals with many projective properties of the neighbourhoods of the third,4th, 5th order of a point on a non-holonome surfaceV ₃ ² inS ₃. Chiefly two remarkable projective correspondences are studied, between the tangent plane and the bundle of directions, with his contact point as centre. Many generalizations are obtained of geometrical loci (so as lines, planes, quadrics) projectively associated with the neighbourhoods of a point on an ordinary (holonome) surface. The last sections are concerned with the extension to theV ₃ ² of the quadric ofMoutard and theSegre's correspondence.      

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.

On an analog of the Riesz theorem and the basis property of the system of root functions of a differential operator in L p : II

We consider an ordinary differential operator of arbitrary order, obtain necessary conditions for the Riesz property of systems of normalized root functions, prove an analog of the Riesz theorem, and use it to obtain sufficient conditions for the basis property of the system of root functions of the given operator in L _p .     

On the basis property of root vectors of a perturbed self-adjoint operator

We study perturbations of a self-adjoint operator T with discrete spectrum such that the number of its points on any unit-length interval of the real axis is uniformly bounded. We prove that if ‖Bϕ _n ‖ ≤ const, where ϕ _n is an orthonormal system of eigenvectors of the operator T, then the system of root vectors of the perturbed operator T + B forms a basis with parentheses. We also prove that the eigenvalue-counting functions of T and T + B satisfy the relation |n(r, T) − n(r, T + B)| ≤ const.     

Some properties of root functions of ordinary second-order differential operators in the absence of the carleman condition

On a finite interval G of the real line, we consider the root functions of an ordinary second-order differential operator without any boundary conditions for the case in which the imaginary part of the spectral parameter is unbounded.We refine the estimates for the C-and L _p -norms of a root function and its first derivative on a compact set contained in the interior of G for the case in which the Carleman condition fails.A sufficient condition is obtained for the root functions of an ordinary second-order differential operator to have the Bessel property, assuming that the Carleman condition fails. We show that, under certain conditions, this problem can be reduced to analyzing the Bessel property of systems of exponentials.
