We discuss the division method for subspectra which appears to be one of the key approaches in the study of spectral properties of self-adjoint differential vector-operators, that is operators generated as a direct sum of self-adjoint extensions on an Everitt-Markus-Zettl multi-interval system. In the current work we show how the division method may be applied to obtain the ordered spectral rep...

This text is a survey of recent results obtained by the author and collaborators on different problems for non-self-adjoint operators. The topics are: Kramers-Fokker-Planck type operators, spectral asymptotics in two dimensions and Weyl asymptotics for the eigenvalues of non-self-adjoint operators with small random perturbations. In the introduction we also review the notion of pseudo-spectrum ...

The norm convergence of the Trotter{Kato product formula is established with ultimate optimal error bound for the self-adjoint semigroup generated by the operator sum of two self-adjoint operators. A generalization is also given to the operator sum of several self-adjoint operators.

we investigate a class of fourth-order differential operators with eigenparameter dependent boundary conditions and transmission conditions. a self-adjoint linear operator a is defined in a suitable hilbert space h such that the eigenvalues of such a problem coincide with those of a . we discuss asymptotic behavior of its eigenvalues and completeness of its eigenfunctions. finally, we obtain th...

We extend the concept of Lifshits–Krein spectral shift function associated with a pair of self-adjoint operators to the case of pairs of (admissible) operators that are similar to self-adjoint operators. An operator H is called admissible if: (i) there is a bounded operator V with a bounded inverse such that H = V −1 HV for some self-adjoint operator H; (ii) the operators H and H are resolvent ...

Examples of symmetric quantum semimartingales are easy to find, but essentially self-adjoint quantum semimartingales have, in general, proved elusive. This is not unexpected since a quantum semimartingale is in some sense an indefinite integral of a family of unbounded operators, and strong conditions are required to ensure that the sum of even two unbounded self-adjoint operators is self-adjoi...
