Application of bounded spectral theory.

I think Helge's answer cuts to the historical heart of the matter: solution operators for various differential equations tend to be bounded, non-compact operators (obtained in many cases from an unbou …

What does it mean for a differential equation "to be integrable"?

Integrability has a specific meaning for certain differential equations arising in geometry, but I'm not sure if it has a broader meaning for more general differential equations. Given a collection o …

Will the eigenvalue of the dirac operater tend to negative infinity?

Given any first order, graded, self-adjoint, elliptic operator on a manifold the spectrum is unbounded in both the positive and negative directions. There are probably elementary ways to see this, bu …

Why have mathematicians used differential equations to model nature instead of difference eq...

First, a historical remark: it was not until relatively recently in the history of science that people were convinced that the atomic theory of matter is correct. I believe the tide was turned by a p …
