An Estimate of the Gap of the first two Eigenvalues in the Schrödinger Operator

چکیده

In my previous paper [2] with I. M. Singer, B. Wong and Stephen Yau, I gave a lower estimate of the gap of the first 2 eigenvalues of the Schrödinger operator in case the potential is convex. In this note we note that the estimate can be improved if we assume the potential is strongly convex. In particular if the Hessian of the potential is bounded from below by a positive constant, the gap has a lower bound independent of dimension. We also find gap when the potential is not necessary convex.

Asymptotic distribution of eigenvalues of the elliptic operator system

Since the theory of spectral properties of non-self-accession differential operators on Sobolev spaces is an important field in mathematics, therefore, different techniques are used to study them. In this paper, two types of non-self-accession differential operators on Sobolev spaces are considered and their spectral properties are investigated with two different and new techniques.

The uniqueness theorem for inverse nodal problems with a chemical potential

In this paper, an inverse nodal problem for a second-order differential equation having a chemical potential on a finite interval is investigated. First, we estimate the nodal points and nodal lengths of differential operator. Then, we show that the potential can be uniquely determined by a dense set of nodes of the eigenfunctions.

Inverse Problem for Interior Spectral Data of the Dirac Operator with Discontinuous Conditions

In this paper, we study the inverse problem for Dirac differential operators with  discontinuity conditions in a compact interval. It is shown that the potential functions can be uniquely determined by the value of the potential on some interval and parts of two sets of eigenvalues. Also, it is shown that the potential function can be uniquely determined by a part of a set of values of eigenfun...

On Generalization of Sturm-Liouville Theory for Fractional Bessel Operator

In this paper, we give the spectral theory for eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a boundary value problem consisting of the linear fractional Bessel operator. Moreover, we show that this operator is self-adjoint, the eigenvalues of the problem are real, and the corresponding eigenfunctions are orthogonal. In this paper, we give the spectral theory for eigenvalues and eigenfunctions...

New Improvement in Interpretation of Gravity Gradient Tensor Data Using Eigenvalues and Invariants: An Application to Blatchford Lake, Northern Canada

Recently, interpretation of causative sources using components of the gravity gradient tensor (GGT) has had a rapid progress. Assuming N as the structural index, components of the gravity vector and gravity gradient tensor have a homogeneity degree of -N and - (N+1), respectively. In this paper, it is shown that the eigenvalues, the first and the second rotational invariants of the GGT (I1 and ...
