Functional determinants for radial operators

چکیده
Klaus Kirsten Department of Mathematics, Baylor University, Waco, TX 76798 Abstract We derive simple new expressions, in various dimensions, for the functional determinant of a radially separable partial differential operator, thereby generalizing the one-dimensional result of Gel’fand and Yaglom to higher dimensions. We use the zeta function formalism, and the results agree with what one would obtain using the angular momentum cutoff method based on radial WKB. The final expression is numerically equal to an alternative expression derived in a Feynman diagrammatic approach, but is considerably simpler.

Functional determinants for general Sturm-Liouville problems
Simple and analytically tractable expressions for functional determinants are known to exist for many cases of interest. We extend the range of situations for which these hold to cover systems of self-adjoint operators of the Sturm-Liouville type with arbitrary linear boundary conditions. The results hold whether or not the operators have negative eigenvalues. The physically important case of f...
متن کاملOn a functional equation for symmetric linear operators on $C^{*}$ algebras
Let $A$ be a $C^{*}$ algebra, $T: Arightarrow A$ be a linear map which satisfies the functional equation $T(x)T(y)=T^{2}(xy),;;T(x^{*})=T(x)^{*} $. We prove that under each of the following conditions, $T$ must be the trivial map $T(x)=lambda x$ for some $lambda in mathbb{R}$: i) $A$ is a simple $C^{*}$-algebra. ii) $A$ is unital with trivial center and has a faithful trace such ...
متن کاملA Generalization of the Meir-Keeler Condensing Operators and its Application to Solvability of a System of Nonlinear Functional Integral Equations of Volterra Type
In this paper, we generalize the Meir-Keeler condensing operators via a concept of the class of operators $ O (f;.)$, that was given by Altun and Turkoglu [4], and apply this extension to obtain some tripled fixed point theorems. As an application of this extension, we analyze the existence of solution for a system of nonlinear functional integral equations of Volterra type. Finally, we p...
متن کاملRadiographic Predictors for Short-term Functional Outcome after Radial Head Arthroplasty in Patients with Persistent Symptoms after Treatment for Radial Head
Background: Evaluation of the accurate position after radial head arthroplasty remains a challenge for surgeons.Standard radiographs are used to evaluate the position of the implant, however, results regarding radiographicdeficiencies on clinical outcome are not consistent. In this retrospective study our main aim was to determine if subtleradiographic deficiencies after radia...
متن کاملSome generalizations of Darbo's theorem for solving a systems of functional-integral equations via measure of noncompactness
In this paper, using the concept of measure of noncompactness, which is a very useful and powerful tools in nonlinear functional analysis, metric fixed point theory and integral equations, we introduce a new contraction on a Banach space. For this purpose by using of a measure of noncompactness on a finite product space, we obtain some generalizations of Darbo’s fixed-point theorem. Then, with ...
