On the spectral function of a normal operator
We calculate the spectral multiplicity of the direct sum T⊕ A of a weighted shift operator T on a Banach space Y which is continuously embedded in and a suitable bounded linear operator A on a Banach space X.
We study the spectral properties of some group of unitary operators in the Hilbert space of square Lebesgue integrable holomorphic functions on a one-dimensional tube (see formula (1)). Applying the Genchev transform ([2], [5]) we prove that this group has continuous simple spectrum (Theorem 4) and that the projection-valued measure for this group has a very explicit form (Theorem 5).
We consider the Laplace operator in a planar waveguide, i.e. an infinite two-dimensional straight strip of constant width, with Robin boundary conditions. We study the essential spectrum of the corresponding Laplacian when the boundary coupling function has a limit at infinity. Furthermore, we derive sufficient conditions for the existence of discrete spectrum.
We extend the Killeen-Taylor study [Nonlinearity 13 (2000)] by investigating in different Banach spaces (,c₀(ℕ),c(ℕ)) the point, continuous and residual spectra of stochastic perturbations of the shift operator associated to the stochastic adding machine in base 2 and in the Fibonacci base. For the base 2, the spectra are connected to the Julia set of a quadratic map. In the Fibonacci case, the spectrum is related to the Julia set of an endomorphism of ℂ².
