In this note we will present an extension of the Krein-Rutman theorem for an abstract non-linear, compact, positively 1-homogeneous operators on a Banach space having the properties of being increasing with respect to a convex cone K and such that there is a non-zero u ∈ K for which M Tu < u for some positive constant M . This will provide a uniform framework for recovering the Krein-Rutman-lik...

Methods from scattering theory are introduced to analyze random Schrödinger operators in one dimension by applying a volume cutoff to the potential. The key ingredient is the Lifshitz-Krein spectral shift function, which is related to the scattering phase by the theorem of Birman and Krein. The spectral shift density is defined as the " thermodynamic limit " of the spectral shift function per u...
