In this paper, we employ transformation operators and Levinson’s density formula to study the distribution of interior transmission eigenvalues for a spherically stratified media. In particular, we show that under smoothness condition on the index of refraction that there exist an infinite number of complex eigenvalues and there exist situations when there are no real eigenvalues. We also consi...

Limit points for the positive eigenvalues of the normalized Laplacian matrix of a graph are considered. Specifically, it is shown that the set of limit points for the j-th smallest such eigenvalues is equal to [0, 1], while the set of limit points for the j-th largest such eigenvalues is equal to [1, 2]. Limit points for certain functions of the eigenvalues, motivated by considerations for rand...

Several inequalities on vertex degrees, eigenvalues, Laplacian eigen-values, and signless Laplacian eigenvalues of graphs are presented in this note. Some of them are generalizations of the inequalities in [2]. We consider only finite undirected graphs without loops or multiple edges. Notation and terminology not defined here follow that in [1]. We use [n] to denote the set of { 1, 2, ..., n}. ...

The statistical analysis of the eigenvalues of quantum systems has become an important tool in understanding the connections between classical and quantum physics. The statistical properties of the eigenvalues of a quantum system whose classical counterpart is integrable match those of random numbers. The eigenvalues of a chaotic classical system have statistical properties like those of the ei...

given four complex matrices a, b, c and d where a 2 cnn and d 2 cmm andlet the matrix(a bc d)be a normal matrix and assume that  is a given complex number that is not eigenvalue of matrix a. we present a method to calculate the distance norm (with respect to 2-norm) from d to the set of matrices x 2 cmm such that,  be a multiple eigenvalue of matrix(a bc x). we also nd the nearest matrix ...
