Eigenfunctions of the integral kernel $1/(x^2 + x'^2)$

My question seems elementary, yet I could not find the solution after working on and searching for several days... I'd like to find the eigenfunctions of a simple integral kernel: \begin{equation} \...

Continuity of eigenvectors

Let $\mathbb{C} \ni z \mapsto M(z)$ be a square matrix depending holomorphically on a parameter $z$ with the property that $\operatorname{dim}\ker(M(z)))=1$ for $z $ away from a discrete set $D \...

Eigenvalue problem

I am studying torsional Alfven waves in spicules. In this concern I have encountered the following equation: $ \left(1-m^2 e^{-αz}\right)y''(z)+\left(4π i m e^{-αz}-1/h\right)y'(z)+\left(\frac{1}{4h^...

The influence of eigendecomposition on the periodicity of a (rank 2) Hermitian matrix (of functions)

Let $\boldsymbol{R}(u,v);~u,v\in\mathbb{R}$ be a Hermitian matrix (of Hermitian functions) with entries \begin{equation} r_{ij}(u,v) = 1 + Ae^{-2\pi i \phi_{ij}(ul_0 + vm_0)}; A\in\mathbb{R},l_0\in\...

Analytic continuation of instantaneous eigenstates of a time-dependent hamiltonian

We are considering the instantaneous eigenstates of an analytically time-dependent hamiltonian and I would like to know how legitimate it is to extend them to the complex plane. Specifically, our ...
