Théorie spectrale d'une classe d'opérateurs elliptiques dégénérés non nécessairement auto-adjoint
We generalize a well-known separation condition of Everitt and Giertz to a class of weighted symmetric partial differential operators defined on domains in . Also, for symmetric second-order ordinary differential operators we show that where is a singular point guarantees separation of on its minimal domain and extend this criterion to the partial differential setting. As a particular example it is shown that is separated on its minimal domain if is superharmonic. For the criterion...
We study a non standard unique continuation property for the biharmonic spectral problem in a 2D corner with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions and a supplementary third order boundary condition on one side of the corner. We prove that if the corner has an angle , and , a unique continuation property holds. Approximate controllability of a 2-D linear fluid-structure problem follows from this property, with a control acting on the elastic side of a corner in a domain containing a Stokes...

Small amplitude vibrations of an elastic structure completely filled by a fluid are considered. Describing the structure by displacements and the fluid by its pressure field one arrives at a non-selfadjoint eigenvalue problem. Taking advantage of a Rayleigh functional we prove that its eigenvalues can be characterized by variational principles of Rayleigh, minmax and maxmin type.
We investigate the -spectrum of linear operators defined consistently on for p₀ ≤ p ≤ p₁, where (Ω,μ) is an arbitrary σ-finite measure space and 1 ≤ p₀ < p₁ ≤ ∞. We prove p-independence of the -spectrum assuming weighted norm estimates. The assumptions are formulated in terms of a measurable semi-metric d on (Ω,μ); the balls with respect to this semi-metric are required to satisfy a subexponential volume growth condition. We show how previous results on -spectral independence can be treated...
