Vacuum Energy as Spectral Geometry [PDF]
Quantum vacuum energy (Casimir energy) is reviewed for a mathematical audience as a topic in spectral theory. Then some one-dimensional systems are solved exactly, in terms of closed classical paths and periodic orbits. The relations among local spectral

An algorithm for the computation of Green′s matrices for boundary value problems associated with a pair of mixed linear regular ordinary differential operators is presented and two examples from the studies of acoustic waveguides in ocean and transverse vibrations in nonhomogeneous strings are discussed.

Generalized Green′s functions for higher order boundary value matrix differential systems
In this paper, a Green′s matrix function for higher order two point boundary value differential matrix problems is constructed. By using the concept of rectangular co‐solution of certain algebraic matrix equation associated to the problem, an existence condition as well as an explicit closed form expression for the solution of possibly not well‐posed ...

Essential closures and AC spectra for reflectionless CMV, Jacobi, and Schrödinger operators revisited [PDF]
We provide a concise, yet fairly complete discussion of the concept of essential closures of subsets of the real axis and their intimate connection with the topological support of absolutely continuous measures. As an elementary application of the notion

Generalized two point boundary value problems. existence and uniqueness
An algorithm is presented for finding the pseudo‐inverse of a rectangular matrix. Using this algorithm as a tool, existence and uniqueness of solutions to two point boundary value problems associated with general first order matrix differential equations are established.

On Dirichlet-to-Neumann Maps, Nonlocal Interactions, and Some Applications to Fredholm Determinants [PDF]
We consider Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps associated with (not necessarily self-adjoint) Schrodinger operators describing nonlocal interactions in $L^2(\Omega; d^n x)$, $n\geq 2$, where $\Omega$ is an open set with a compact, nonempty boundary satisfying ...

Principal Solutions Revisited [PDF]
The main objective of this paper is to identify principal solutions associated with Sturm-Liouville operators on arbitrary open intervals $(a,b) \subseteq \mathbb{R}$, as introduced by Leighton and Morse in the scalar context in 1936 and by Hartman in ...

Positive bounded solutions for nonlinear polyharmonic problems in the unit ball
In this paper, we study the existence of positive solutions for the following nonlinear polyharmonic equation (-∆)mu+λf(x, u) = 0 in B; subject to some boundary conditions, where m is a positive integer, λ is a nonnegative constant and B is the unit ball
