This paper deals with the spectral study of the streaming operator with general boundary conditions defined by means of a boundary operator $K$. We study the positivity and the irreducibility of the generated semigroup proved in [M. Boulanouar, L’opérateur d’Advection: existence d’un $C_0$-semi-groupe (I), Transp. Theory Stat. Phys. 31, 2002, 153–167], in the case $\parallel K\parallel \ge 1$. We also give some spectral properties of the streaming operator and we characterize the type of the generated semigroup in terms of the...

We study one-dimensional Lévy processes with Lévy-Khintchine exponent ψ(ξ²), where ψ is a complete Bernstein function. These processes are subordinate Brownian motions corresponding to subordinators whose Lévy measure has completely monotone density; or, equivalently, symmetric Lévy processes whose Lévy measure has completely monotone density on (0,∞). Examples include symmetric stable processes and relativistic processes. The main result is a formula for the generalized eigenfunctions of transition...

We prove a uniform lower bound for the difference λ₂ - λ₁ between the first two eigenvalues of the fractional Schrödinger operator ${(-\Delta )}^{\alpha /2}+V$, α ∈ (1,2), with a symmetric single-well potential V in a bounded interval (a,b), which is related to the Feynman-Kac semigroup of the symmetric α-stable process killed upon leaving (a,b). “Uniform” means that the positive constant $C_{\alpha }$ appearing in our estimate $\lambda ₂-\lambda ₁\ge C_{\alpha }{(b-a)}^{-\alpha }$ is independent of the potential V. In the general case of α ∈ (0,2), we also find a uniform lower bound for...

To every elliptic SG pseudo-differential operator with positive orders, we associate the minimal and maximal operators on $L^p\left(ℝⁿ\right)$, 1 < p < ∞, and prove that they are equal. The domain of the minimal ( = maximal) operator is explicitly computed in terms of a Sobolev space. We prove that an elliptic SG pseudo-differential operator is Fredholm. The essential spectra of elliptic SG pseudo-differential operators with positive orders and bounded SG pseudo-differential operators with orders 0,0 are computed....

On construit les fonctions propres sur $\mathbf{R}$ et les valeurs caractéristiques ${\lambda }_n$ du noyau de Hilbert-Schmidt $(x^2+y^2+1{)}^{-1}$. Le spectre est donné par la solution d’une équation transcendante dont le comportement asymptotique est ${\lambda }_n\simeq \frac{1}{2}exp(\pi \sqrt{n})$.

An integral Markov operator $P$ appearing in biomathematics is investigated. This operator acts on the space of probabilistic Borel measures. Let $\mu$ and $\nu$ be probabilistic Borel measures. Sufficient conditions for weak and strong convergence of the sequence $(P^n\mu -P^n\nu )$ to $0$ are given.

We study general continuity properties for an increasing family of Banach spaces $S_w^p$ of classes for pseudo-differential symbols, where $S_w^{\infty }=S_w$ was introduced by J. Sjöstrand in 1993. We prove that the operators in $\mathrm{Op}\left(S_w^p\right)$ are Schatten-von Neumann operators of order $p$ on $L^2$. We prove also that $\mathrm{Op}\left(S_w^p\right)\mathrm{Op}\left(S_w^r\right)\subset \mathrm{Op}\left(S_w^r\right)$ and $S_w^p·S_w^q\subset S_w^r$, provided $1/p+1/q=1/r$. If instead $1/p+1/q=1+1/r$, then $S_w^{p}w*S_w^q\subset S_w^r$. By modifying the definition of the $S_w^p$-spaces, one also obtains symbol classes related to the $S(m,g)$ spaces.

Dans cet article on décrit le spectre semi-classique d’un opérateur de Schrödinger sur $ℝ$ avec un potentiel type double puits. La description qu’on donne est celle du spectre autour du maximum local du potentiel. Dans la classification des singularités de l’application moment d’un système intégrable, le double puits représente le cas des singularités non-dégénérées de type hyperbolique.
