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...

For classical dynamical systems time operators are introduced as selfadjoint operators satisfying the so called weak Weyl relation (WWR) with the unitary groups of time evolution. Dynamical systems with time operators are intrinsically irreversible because they admit Lyapounov operators as functions of the time operator. For quantum systems selfadjoint time operators are defined in the same way...

We define a new topology, weaker than the gap topology, on the space of selfadjoint unbounded operators on a separable Hilbert space. We show that the subspace of selfadjoint Fredholm operators represents the functor K from the category of compact spaces to the category of abelian groups and prove a similar result for K. We define the spectral flow of a continuous path of selfadjoint Fredholm o...

A selfadjoint involutive matrix J endows Cn with an indefinite inner product [·, ·] given by [x,y] = 〈Jx,y〉 , x,y ∈ Cn. Characterizations of the J -chaotic order Log(A) J Log(B) are presented for J -selfadjoint matrices A,B with positive eigenvalues, in terms of operator functions involving the α -power mean and the J -relative entropy. An indefinite complete form of the Furuta inequality and s...

Hill’s method is a means to numerically approximate spectra of linear differential operators with periodic coefficients. In this paper, we address different issues related to the convergence of Hill’s method. We show the method does not produce any spurious approximations, and that for selfadjoint operators, the method converges in a restricted sense. Furthermore, assuming convergence of an eig...
