Using simple commutator relations, we obtain several trace identities involving eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of an abstract self-adjoint operator acting in a Hilbert space. Applications involve abstract universal estimates for the eigenvalue gaps. As particular examples, we present simple proofs of the classical universal estimates for eigenvalues of the Dirichlet Laplacian, as well as of som...

We provide a comparative treatment of some aspects of spectral theory for self-adjoint and non-self-adjoint (but J-self-adjoint) Dirac-type operators connected with the defocusing and focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation, of relevance to nonlinear optics. In addition to a study of Dirac and Hamiltonian systems, we also introduce the concept of Weyl–Titchmarsh half-line m-coefficients (and 2 ...

Let H be an infinite--dimensional Hilbert space and K(H) be the set of all compact operators on H. We will adopt spectral theorem for compact self-adjoint operators, to investigate of higher derivation and higher Jordan derivation on K(H) associated with the following cauchy-Jencen type functional equation 2f(frac{T+S}{2}+R)=f(T)+f(S)+2f(R) for all T,S,Rin K(H).

Let H be an innite dimensional Hilbert space and K(H) be the set of all compactoperators on H. We will adopt spectral theorem for compact self-adjoint operators, to investigate ofhigher derivation and higher Jordan derivation on K(H) associated with the following Cauchy-Jensentype functional equation 2f((T + S)/2+ R) = f(T ) + f(S) + 2f(R) for all T, S, R are in K(...
