Convergence of eigenvalues for a highly non-self-adjoint differential operator
This paper studies a family of operators dependent on a small parameter ε > 0, which arise in a problem in fluid mechanics. It is shown that the spectra of the operators converge to N as ε → 0, even though, for every fixed ε > 0, the eigenvalues λε,n diverge quadratically as n→∞.

متن کاملCorrespondence of the eigenvalues of a non-self-adjoint operator to those of a self-adjoint operator
We prove that the eigenvalues of a certain highly non-self-adjoint operator that arises in fluid mechanics correspond, up to scaling by a positive constant, to those of a self-adjoint operator with compact resolvent; hence there are infinitely many real eigenvalues which accumulate only at ±∞. We use this result to determine the asymptotic distribution of the eigenvalues and to compute some of ...
متن کاملNon-self-adjoint Differential Operators
We describe methods which have been used to analyze the spectrum of non-self-adjoint differential operators, emphasizing the differences from the self-adjoint theory. We find that even in cases in which the eigenfunctions can be determined explicitly, they often do not form a basis; this is closely related to a high degree of instability of the eigenvalues under small perturbations of the opera...
متن کاملOscillatory Survival Probability and Eigenvalues of the Non-Self-Adjoint Fokker-Planck Operator
We demonstrate the oscillatory decay of the survival probability of the stochastic dynamics dxε = a(xε) dt+ √ 2ε b(xε) dw, which is activated by small noise over the boundary of the domain of attraction D of a stable focus of the drift a(x). The boundary ∂D of the domain is an unstable limit cycle of a(x). The oscillations are explained by a singular perturbation expansion of the spectrum of th...
متن کاملNon-variational Approximation of Discrete Eigenvalues of Self-adjoint Operators
We establish sufficiency conditions in order to achieve approximation to discrete eigenvalues of self-adjoint operators in the second-order projection method suggested recently by Levitin and Shargorodsky, [15]. We find explicit estimates for the eigenvalue error and study in detail two concrete model examples. Our results show that, unlike the majority of the standard methods, second-order pro...
