On the uniform convergence of spectral expansions for a spectral problem with boundary conditions of the third kind one of which contains the spectral parameter

We study the uniform convergence, on a closed interval, of spectral expansions of Hölder functions in a given complete and minimal system of eigenfunctions corresponding to a spectral problem with spectral parameter in a boundary condition. We consider boundary conditions of the third kind and subject the function to be expanded to a condition of nonlocal type ensuring the uniform convergence. We prove a theorem stating that expansions in the entire system of eigenfunctions of the problem are possible without any additional conditions.     

On the spectral properties of a second-order differential operator with a matrix potential

By applying the method of similar operators to a second-order differential operator with a matrix potential and semiperiodic boundary conditions, we obtain asymptotic estimates for the weighted mean eigenvalue and spectral projections and prove the equiconvergence of spectral expansions.     

On the uniform convergence of spectral expansions in a problem for the Laplace operator on the square with spectral parameter in the boundary condition

We consider a classical spectral problem that arises when studying the natural vibrations of a loaded rectangular membrane. We establish conditions ensuring the uniform convergence of spectral expansions in the selected Riesz basis and in the entire system of eigen-functions.     

On the spectral problem arising in the solution of a mixed problem for the heat equation with a mixed derivative in the boundary condition

We study issues related to the uniform convergence of the Fourier series expansions of Hölder class functions in the system of eigenfunctions corresponding to a spectral problem obtained from a mixed problem for the heat equation. We prove a theorem on the equiconvergence of these expansions with expansions in a well-known orthonormal basis.     

Basis properties of a problem for the Laplace operator on the square with spectral parameter in a boundary condition

We consider a classical spectral problem that arises when studying the natural vibrations of a loaded rectangular membrane fixed on two sides, the load being distributed along one of the free sides. We study the completeness, minimality, and basis property of the system of eigenfunctions and establish conditions guaranteeing the equiconvergence of spectral expansions in this system and in a given basis.     

Edgeworth expansions for spectral mean estimates with applications to Whittle estimates

We prove that the distributions of spectral mean estimates from linear processes admit Edgeworth expansions. As a consequence, Edgeworth expansions are valid for Whittle estimates.     

On the smoothness of mean values of functions with summable spectral expansion

We consider spectral expansions associated with a self-adjoint extension of the Laplace operator in the n-dimensional domain. We show that if the spectral expansion of an arbitrary function at some point is summable by Riesz means, then its mean value over the sphere with center at that point has certain smoothness.     

Positive and negative hierarchies of nonlinear integrable lattice models and three integrable coupling systems associated with a discrete spectral problem

Positive and negative hierarchies of nonlinear integrable lattice models are derived from a discrete spectral problem. The two lattice hierarchies are proved to have discrete zero curvature representations associated with a discrete spectral problem, which also shows that the positive and negative hierarchies correspond to positive and negative power expansions of Lax operators with respect to the spectral parameter, respectively. Moreover, the integrable lattice models in the positive hierarchy are of polynomial type, and the integrable lattice models in the negative hierarchy are of rational type. Further, we construct three integrable coupling systems of the positive hierarchy through enlarging Lax pair method.     

Plancherel-type estimates and sharp spectral multipliers

We study general spectral multiplier theorems for self-adjoint positive definite operators on L²(X,μ), where X is any open subset of a space of homogeneous type. We show that the sharp Hörmander-type spectral multiplier theorems follow from the appropriate estimates of the L² norm of the kernel of spectral multipliers and the Gaussian bounds for the corresponding heat kernel. The sharp Hörmander-type spectral multiplier theorems are motivated and connected with sharp estimates for the critical exponent for the Riesz means summability, which we also study here. We discuss several examples, which include sharp spectral multiplier theorems for a class of scattering operators on R³ and new spectral multiplier theorems for the Laguerre and Hermite expansions.     

Riesz Lp summability of spectral expansions related to the Schrödinger operator with constant magnetic field

For the spectral expansions related to the Schrödinger operator with constant magnetic field we establish Riesz-Bochner summability in L_p.     

On the summability of spectral expansions of piecewise smooth functions

For piecewise smooth functions of n variables, we prove the uniform Riesz summability of order s > (n ? 3)/2 of their spectral expansions associated with an arbitrary elliptic operator with constant coefficients. For s = (n ? 3)/2, the corresponding Riesz means are bounded.     

On the uniform convergence of the Fourier series for one spectral problem with a spectral parameter in a boundary condition

In this paper, we investigate the uniform convergence of the Fourier series expansions in terms of eigenfunctions for the spectral problem where λ is a spectral parameter, q(x) is a real‐valued continuous function on the interval [0,1], and a₁,b₀,b₁,c₁,d₀, and d₁ are real constants that satisfy the conditions Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A stabilized Hermite spectral method for second‐order differential equations in unbounded domains

A stabilized Hermite spectral method, which uses the Hermite polynomials as trial functions, is presented for the heat equation and the generalized Burgers equation in unbounded domains. In order to overcome instability that may occur in direct Hermite spectral methods, a time‐dependent scaling factor is employed in the Hermite expansions. The stability of the scheme is examined and optimal error estimates are derived. Numerical experiments are given to confirm the theoretical results.© 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Application of spectral filtering to discontinuous Galerkin methods on triangulations

We adapt the spectral viscosity (SV) formulation implemented as a modal filter to a discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method solving hyperbolic conservation laws on triangular grids. The connection between SV and spectral filtering, which is undertaken for the first time in the context of DG methods on unstructured grids, allows to specify conditions on the filter strength regarding time step choice and mesh refinement. A crucial advantage of this novel damping strategy is its low computational cost. We furthermore obtain new error bounds for filtered Dubiner expansions of smooth functions. While high order accuracy with respect to the polynomial degree N is proven for the filtering procedure in this case, an adaptive application is proposed to retain the high spatial approximation order. Although spectral filtering stabilizes the scheme, it leaves weaker oscillations. Therefore, as a postprocessing step, we apply the image processing technique of digital total variation (DTV) filtering in the new context of DG solutions and prove conservativity in the limit for this filtering procedure. Numerical experiments for scalar conservation laws confirm the designed order of accuracy of the DG scheme with adaptive modal filtering for polynomial degrees up to 8 and the viability of spectral and DTV filtering in case of shocks. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Loaded differential operators: Convergence of spectral expansions

We study the convergence rate of biorthogonal series expansions of functions in systems of root functions of a broad class of loaded even-order differential operators defined on a finite interval. These expansions are compared with the Fourier trigonometric series expansions of the same functions in an integral metric on any interior compact set of the main interval or on the entire interval. We obtain estimates for the equiconvergence rate of these expansions.     

On semi-infinite spectral elements for Poisson problems with re-entrant boundary singularities

A spectral element method is described which enables Poisson problems defined in irregular infinite domains to be solved as a set of coupled problems over semi-infinite rectangular regions. Two choices of trial functions are considered, namely the eigenfunctions of the differential operator and Chebyshev polynomials. The coefficients in the series expansions are obtained by imposing weak C¹ matching conditions across element interfaces. Singularities at re-entrant corners are treated by a post-processing technique which makes use of the known asymptotic behaviour of the solution at the singular point. Accurate approximations are obtained with few degrees of freedom.     

Asymptotic solution of one-dimensional spectral boundary-value problems with rapidly varying coefficients: The case of multiple spectra

We suggest a method for the construction of complete asymptotic expansions for eigenvalues and eigen-functions of spectral boundary-value problems for differential equations with rapidly varying coefficients in the case of multiple spectra of the averaged problem. The effect of splitting of multiple eigen-values is illustrated by an example of a special fourth-order problem.

Estimates for the equiconvergence rate of spectral expansions on an interval

We study the convergence rate of biorthogonal expansions of functions in series in systems of root functions of a broad class of second-order ordinary differential operators on a finite interval. The above-mentioned expansions are compared with the expansions of the same functions in trigonometric Fourier series in an integral or uniform metric on any interior compact set of the basic interval and on the entire interval. We prove the dependence of the equiconvergence rate of the expansions in question on the distance from the compact set to the boundary of the interval, on the coefficients of the differential operation, and on the presence of infinitely many associated functions in the system of root functions.     

A criterion of uniqueness of a solution to the Dirichlet problem with the axial symmetry for the three-dimensional mixed type equation with the Bessel operator

By the method of spectral expansions we establish a uniqueness criterion of a solution to the Dirichlet problem for the three-dimensional mixed-type equation with the Bessel operator.     

Convolutions. Comparison of spectral expansions at different vertices

Two spectral expansions of one and the same convolution at two different vertices of the fundamental domain F_q for the congruence group Гo(q) are compared. As a result, a representation of the space of functions of a given eigenvalue λ_n in terms of the whole remaining spectrum is obtained. Bibliography:3 titles.
