A Note on Riesz Bases of Eigenvectors of Certain Holomorphic Operator-Functions
2001
Abstract Operator-valued functions of the form A (λ) ≔ A − λ + Q(λ) with λ ↦ Q(λ)(A − μ)− 1 compact-valued and holomorphic on certain domains Ω ⊂ C are considered in separable Hilbert space. Assuming that the resolvent of A is compact, its eigenvalues are simple and the corresponding eigenvectors form a Riesz basis for H of finite defect, it is shown that under certain growth conditions on ‖Q(λ)(A − λ)− 1‖ the eigenvectors of A corresponding to a part of its spectrum also form a Riesz basis of finite defect. Applications are given to operator-valued functions of the form A (λ) = A − λ + B(λ − D)− 1C and to spectral problems in L2(0, 1) of the form −f″(x) + p(x, λ)f′(x) + q(x, λ)f(x) = λf(x…
On essential spectra of operator-matrices and their Feshbach maps
2004
Abstract A connection between the essential spectrum of certain operator-matrices and essential spectra of the corresponding “Feshbach maps” is discussed and applied to some concrete rational operator-valued functions.
Eigenvalue Accumulation for Singular Sturm–Liouville Problems Nonlinear in the Spectral Parameter
1999
Abstract For certain singular Sturm–Liouville equations whose coefficients depend continuously on the spectral parameter λ in an interval Λ it is shown that accumulation/nonaccumulation of eigenvalues at an endpoint ν of Λ is essentially determined by oscillatory properties of the equation at the boundary λ = ν . As applications new results are obtained for the radial Dirac operator and the Klein–Gordon equation. Three other physical applications are also considered.
