Gap between consecutive Dirichlet eigenvalues

Suppose $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^2$ is a domain with a Lipschitz boundary and let $\{\lambda_k\}_{k=0}^n$ be the eigenvalues for the Laplacian operator on $\Omega$, that is to say $$ -\Delta \phi_k = ...

Eigenvalues of splitting scheme

In numerical analysis it is common to approximate a solution to a PDE $$u'(t) = (A+B) u(t), \quad u(0)=u_0$$ which is just given by $e^{t(A+B)}u_0$ by the splitting $e^{tB/2} e^{tA} e^{tB/2}u_0.$ Here,...

How to solve this operator equation numerically?

I would like to know how one solves Sturm-Liouville problems on $(0,\infty)$ NUMERICALLY for the eigenvalues that are of the form $$-f''(x)+\frac{1}{\sinh(x)^2}f(x)=\lambda f(x).$$ So even if there ...

Leibniz rule bound for the inverse of the Laplacian?

Let $f, g \in L^2[\mathbb{T}^2]$ be real-valued functions without zero modes. That is, $\int_{\mathbb{T}^2}f=\int_{\mathbb{T}^2}g=0$. Here, ${\mathbb{T}^2}$ is the $2$-dimensional torus $[\mathbb{R}/\...

Is there a space of smooth functions dense in the domain of Coulomb-like potentials in dimension two?

Let $V : \mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}$ be compactly supported, bounded away from the origin, and obey $$ |V(x)| \lesssim r^{-\delta_0}, \qquad 0 < |x| \le 1, \qquad r : =|x|,$$ for some $0 < \...

Heat equation damps backward heat equation?

In a previous question on mathoverflow, I was wondering about the following: Let $\Delta$ be the Laplacian on some compact interval $I$ of the real line with let's say Dirichlet boundary conditions. ...

Absence of fixed points

Let $f$ be an arbitrary function in $L^2(0,\infty)$ and consider the function $$(g_f)(y) = \frac{1}{y-x_0} \int_{0}^{\infty} f(x) \frac{xy}{(x^2+y^2+1)} \ dx$$ where $x_0$ is an arbitrary but fixed ...

Absolute continuity of DOS measure for Schrödinger operators

Kotani theory gives roughly that for ergodic operators there is a certain equivalence between absolutely continuous spectrum and an absolutely continuous density of states measure. I would like to ...

Self-adjointness on Banach spaces

Let $A \in L(X,Y)$ be a bounded operator between Banach spaces. Then its dual operator $A' \in L(Y',X')$ has the same spectrum as $A$ by the closed range theorem. Now, if we have an unbounded ...

Searching for inequalities relating a convolution-type integral of functions of modulus less than but close to one.

Suppose $f(x,y)$ and $g(x,y)$ are both measurable functions from $[0,1]\times[0,1]\to \mathbb{C}$ with $|f|,|g|<1$, and let $h(x,y)=\int_{0}^1 f(x,z)g(z,y) \ dz$. (So $|h(x,y)|<1$ also.) ...

Which sets support which spectra?

I know (and this is of course rather elementary) that an isolated point in the spectrum of a self-adjoint operator $T$ always belongs to the point-spectrum. I would like to ask: Are there similar ...
