Dependence of Neumann eigenvalues on the domain

I have the following problem in hands, in the context of a broader investigation: Let $V\in L^{n/2}$ compactly supported, where $n\geq 3$ is the dimension. I want to prove the following: For any $\...

Computing the eigenvalues of $A+E$ where $A$ is an upper triangular matrix whose diagonal entries are all zero and $E$ is a rank one matrix

Let us consider the backward-shift matrix $B=(b_{ij})\in M_n(\mathbb{R})$ whose entries are given by $b_{k,k+1}=1$ and the other entries are all 0. We also consider $X=(x_{ij})\in M_n(\mathbb{R})$ ...

Eigenvalue multiplicity of tensor product of positive operator with itself

Let $H$ be a separable complex Hilbert space and let $A\in B(H)$ be positive with $||A||=1$ and have eigenvalue 1 with multiplicity 1. Suppose $A=T^*T$ for some $T\in B(H)$. Denote the spectrum of $A$ ...

The non empty set of accumulation points of a bounded linear operator is the spectrum of another operator

Let $X$ be an infinite dimensional Banach space, and let $T \in L(X)$ such that the set of accumulation points of $T$ is non empty, i-e $\mbox{acc}\,\sigma(T)\neq 0.$\ Is there a Banach space $Y$ ...

Eigenvalues of operator

In the question here the author asks for the eigenvalues of an operator $$A = \begin{pmatrix} x & -\partial_x \\ \partial_x & -x \end{pmatrix}.$$ Here I would like to ask if one can extend ...

Extending Ky Fan's eigenvalues inequality to kernel operators

--Migrating from MSE since it might fit better here-- Base result The following result in Terry Tao's book, 'p. 47, Ky Fan inequality' reads as: $$\sum_i\lambda_i(A+B) \leq \sum_i \lambda_i(A) + \...

Eigenvalues of splitting scheme

In numerical analysis it is common to approximate a solution to a PDE $$u'(t) = (A+B) u(t), \quad u(0)=u_0$$ which is just given by $e^{t(A+B)}u_0$ by the splitting $e^{tB/2} e^{tA} e^{tB/2}u_0.$ Here,...

Compact operator without eigenvalues?

Consider the operator $M$ on $\ell^2(\mathbb{Z})$ defined by for $u\in \ell^2(\mathbb Z)$ $$Mu(n)=\frac{1}{\vert n \vert+1}u(n).$$ This is a compact operator! Then, let $l$ be the left-shift and $r$ ...

An estimate for the solution of an elliptic PDE depending on a parameter

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^n$ be a bounded domain with a sufficiently smooth boundary $\partial\Omega$. We assume $\lambda_1\in\mathbb R$ is the principle eigenvalue of the operator $$ -\Delta:\ H^...

Is the sum of spectral projections a projection?

Let $T$ be a closed operator on a Hilbert space with discrete spectrum. Then for $\{\lambda_1,...\lambda_n\}\in\sigma(T)$ one can define the spectral projections $$P_{\{\lambda_1,...\lambda_n\}}=\frac{...
