Eigenvalue problems for a mixed-type equation with two singular coefficients.
We consider the linear eigenvalue problem -Δu = λV(x)u, , and its nonlinear generalization , . The set Ω need not be bounded, in particular, is admitted. The weight function V may change sign and may have singular points. We show that there exists a sequence of eigenvalues .
We describe a simple linear algebra idea which has been used in different branches of mathematics such as bifurcation theory, partial differential equations and numerical analysis. Under the name of the Schur complement method it is one of the standard tools of applied linear algebra. In PDE and spectral analysis it is sometimes called the Grushin problem method, and here we concentrate on its uses in the study of infinite dimensional problems, coming from partial differential operators of mathematical...
We give a condition of essential self-adjointness for magnetic Schrödinger operators on non-compact Riemannian manifolds with a given positive smooth measure which is fixed independently of the metric. This condition is related to the classical completeness of a related classical hamiltonian without magnetic field. The main result generalizes the result by I. Oleinik [29,30,31], a shorter and more transparent proof of which was provided by the author in [41]. The main idea, as in [41], consists...
The purpose of this note is to present several criteria for essential self-adjointness. The method is based on ideas due to Shubin. This note is divided into two parts. The first part deals with symmetric first order systems on the line in the most general setting. Such a symmetric first order system of differential equations gives rise naturally to a symmetric linear relation in a Hilbert space. In this case even regularity is nontrivial. We will announce a regularity result and discuss criteria...
