in this paper, the maximal dissipative extensions of a symmetric singular 1d discrete hamiltonian operator with maximal deficiency indices (2,2) (in limit-circle cases at ±∞) and acting in the hilbert space ℓ_{ω}²(z;c²) (z:={0,±1,±2,...}) are considered. we consider two classes dissipative operators with separated boundary conditions both at -∞ and ∞. for each of these cases we establish a self...

We describe the convex set of the eigenvalues of hermitian matrices which are majorized by sum of m hermitian matrices with prescribed eigenvalues. We extend our characterization to selfadjoint nonnegative (definite) compact operators on a separable Hilbert space. We give necessary and sufficient conditions on the eigenvalue sequence of a selfadjoint nonnegative compact operator of trace class ...

We prove Lieb-Thirring-type bounds on eigenvalues of non-selfadjoint Jacobi operators, which are nearly as strong as those proven previously for the case of selfadjoint operators by Hundertmark and Simon. We use a method based on determinants of operators and on complex function theory, extending and sharpening earlier work of Borichev, Golinskii and Kupin.

Distinguished selfadjoint extensions of operators which are not semibounded can be deduced from the positivity of the Schur Complement (as a quadratic form). In practical applications this amounts to proving a Hardy-like inequality. Particular cases are Dirac-Coulomb operators where distinguished selfadjoint extensions are obtained for the optimal range of coupling constants.

Consider a selfadjoint unbounded operator D on a Hilbert space H and a one parameter norm continuous family of selfadjoint bounded operators {A(t) | t ∈ R} that converges in norm to asymptotes A± at ±∞. Then under certain conditions [RoSa95] that include the assumption that the operators {D(t) = D + A(t), t ∈ R} all have discrete spectrum then the spectral flow along the path {D(t)} can be show...

Perturbations AT of a selfadjoint operator A by symmetric finite rank operators T from H2(A) to H−2(A) are studied. The finite dimensional family of selfadjoint extensions determined by AT is given explicitly.
