On the Interaction of Two Finite-Dimensional Quantum Systems

Interaction of quantum system S ^a described by the generalised × eigenvalue equation A| _s =E _s S ^a | _s (s=1,...,) with quantum system S ^b described by the generalised n×n eigenvalue equation B| _i = _i S ^b | _i (i=1,...,n) is considered. With the system S ^a is associated -dimensional space X ^a and with the system S ^b is associated an n-dimensional space X _n ^b that is orthogonal to X ^a . Combined system S is described by the generalised (+n)×(+n) eigenvalue equation [A+B+V]| _k = _k [S ^a +S ^b +P]| _k (k=1,...,n+) where operators V and P represent interaction between those two systems. All operators are Hermitian, while operators S ^a ,S ^b and S=S ^a +S ^b +P are, in addition, positive definite. It is shown that each eigenvalue _{k i} of the combined system is the eigenvalue of the × eigenvalue equation . Operator in this equation is expressed in terms of the eigenvalues _i of the system S ^b and in terms of matrix elements _s |V| _i and _s |P| _i where vectors | _s form a base in X ^a . Eigenstate | _k ^a of this equation is the projection of the eigenstate | _k of the combined system on the space X ^a . Projection | _k ^b of | _k on the space X _n ^b is given by | _k ^b =( _k S ^b –B)^–1(V– _k P})| _k ^a where ( _k S ^b –B)^–1 is inverse of ( _k S ^b –B) in X _n ^b . Hence, if the solution to the system S ^b is known, one can obtain all eigenvalues _{k i} } and all the corresponding eigenstates | _k of the combined system as a solution of the above × eigenvalue equation that refers to the system S ^a alone. Slightly more complicated expressions are obtained for the eigenvalues _{k i} } and the corresponding eigenstates, provided such eigenvalues and eigenstates exist.

A Sharp Condition for the Ground State of Difference Equation

This note is concerned with a novel inequality condition for the existence of ground states of partial difference systems. Our result is potentially applicable to the estimation of eigenvalues of the loaded strings and nets.     

First stability eigenvalue characterization of CMC Hopf tori into Riemannian Killing submersions

We find out upper bounds for the first eigenvalue of the stability operator for compact constant mean curvature orientable surfaces immersed in a Riemannian Killing submersion. As a consequence, the strong stability of such surfaces is studied. We also characterize constant mean curvature Hopf tori as the only ones attaining the bound in certain cases.     

Lower bound for the ratios of eigenvalues of Schrödinger with nonpositive single‐barrier potentials

Horváth and Kiss (Proc. Amer. Math. Soc., 2005) proved the upper bound estimate for Dirichlet eigenvalue ratios of the Schrödinger problem ?y^′′ + q(x)y = λy with nonnegative and single‐well potential q. In this paper, we prove that if q(x) is a nonpositive, continuous, and single‐barrier potential, then for λ_n > λ_m≥ ? 2q^?, where . In particular, if q(x) satisfies the additional condition , then λ₁ > 0 and for n > m ≥ 1. For this result, we develop a new approach to study the monotonicity of the modified Prüfer angle function.     

A note on the eigenvalues of p‐fractional Hardy–Sobolev operator with indefinite weight

In this article, we study the eigenvalues of p‐fractional Hardy operator where , , , and Ω is an unbounded domain in with Lipschitz boundary containing 0. The weight function V may change sign and may have singular points. We also show that the least positive eigenvalue is simple and it is uniquely associated to a nonnegative eigenfunction. Moreover, we proved that there exists a sequence of eigenvalues as .     

Oscillation theorems for symplectic difference systems

We consider symplectic difference systems involving a spectral parameter, together with the Dirichlet boundary conditions. The main result of the paper is a discrete version of the so-called oscillation theorem which relates the number of finite eigenvalues less than a given number to the number of focal points of the principal solution of the symplectic system. In two recent papers the same problem was treated and an essential ingredient was to establish the concept of the multiplicity of a focal point. But there was still a rather restrictive condition needed, which is eliminated here by using the concept of finite eigenvalues (or zeros) from the theory of matrix pencils.     

On weighted spectral radius of unraveled balls and normalized Laplacian eigenvalues

For a graph G, the unraveled ball of radius r centered at a vertex v is the ball of radius r centered at v in the universal cover of G. We obtain a lower bound on the weighted spectral radius of unraveled balls of fixed radius in a graph with positive weights on edges, which is used to present an upper bound on the $s^{\text{th}}$ (where $s\ge 2$) smallest normalized Laplacian eigenvalue of irregular graphs under minor assumptions. Moreover, when $s=2$, the result may be regarded as an Alon–Boppana type bound for a class of irregular graphs.
