We describe a recent result of M. Hager, stating roughly that for nonselfadjoint ordinary differential operators with a small random perturbation we have a Weyl law for the distribution of eigenvalues with a probability very close to 1.

The paper continues the study of differential Banach *algebras AS and FS of operators associated with symmetric operators S on Hilbert spaces H. The algebra AS is the domain of the largest *-derivation δS of B(H) implemented by S and the algebra FS is the closure of the set of all finite rank operators in AS with respect to the norm ‖A‖ = ‖A‖+‖δS(A)‖. When S is selfadjoint, FS is the domain of ...

A trace formula is proved for pairs of selfadjoint operators that are close to each other in a certain sense. An important role is played by a function analytic in the open upper half-plane and with positive imaginary part there. This function, called the characteristic function of the pair, coincides with Krĕın’s Q-function in the case where the selfadjoint operators are canonical extensions o...

Let $$(Lv)(t)=sum^{n} _{i,j=1} (-1)^{j} d_{j} left( s^{2alpha}(t) b_{ij}(t) mu(t) d_{i}v(t)right),$$ be a non-selfadjoint differential operator on the Hilbert space $L_{2}(Omega)$ with Dirichlet-type boundary conditions. In continuing of papers [10-12], let the conditions made on the operator $ L$ be sufficiently more general than [11] and [12] as defined in Section $1$. In this paper, we estim...
