The operator Lμ : f 7→ ∫ f(x)−f(y) x−y dμ(y) is, for a compactly supported measure μ with an L density, a closed, densely defined operator on L(μ). We show that the operator Q = pLμ−qLμ has polynomial eigenfunctions if and only if μ is a free Meixner distribution. The only time Q has orthogonal polynomial eigenfunctions is if μ is a semicircular distribution. More generally, the only time the o...

Compressed manifold modes are locally supported analogues of eigenfunctions of the Laplace-Beltrami operator of a manifold. In this paper we describe an algorithm for the calculation of modes for discrete manifolds that, in experiments, requires on average 47% fewer iterations and 44% less time than the previous algorithm. We show how to naturally order the modes in an analogous way to eigenfun...

A general program to show quantum-classical correspondence for bound conservative integrable and chaotic systems is described. The method is applied to integrable systems and the nature of the approach to the classical limit, the cancellation of essential singularities, is demonstrated. The application to chaotic systems requires an understanding of classical Liouville eigenfunctions and a Liou...

We consider the use of eigenfunctions of polyharmonic operators, equipped with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions, to approximate nonperiodic functions in compact intervals. Such expansions feature a number of advantages in comparison with classical Fourier series, including uniform convergence and more rapid decay of expansion coefficients. Having derived an asymptotic formula for expansi...

Complete eigenfunctions of linearized integrable equations expanded around an arbitrary solution are obtained for the Ablowitz-Kaup-Newell-Segur (AKNS) hierarchy and the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) hierarchy. It is shown that the linearization operators and the recursion operator which generates the hierarchy are commutable. Consequently, eigenfunctions of the linearization operators are precisely ...

The offset Fourier transform (offset FT), offset fractional Fourier transform (offset FRFT), and offset linear canonical transform (offset LCT) are the space-shifted and frequency-modulated versions of the original transforms. They are more general and flexible than the original ones. We derive the eigenfunctions and the eigenvalues of the offset FT, FRFT, and LCT. We can use their eigenfunctio...

We investigate statistical properties of the eigenfunctions of the Schrödinger operator on families of star graphs with incommensurate bond lengths. We show that these eigenfunctions are not quantum ergodic in the limit as the number of bonds tends to infinity by finding an observable for which the quantum matrix elements do not converge to the classical average. We further show that for a give...

We provide the mathematical foundation for the Xm-Jacobi spectral theory. Namely, we present a self-adjoint operator associated to the differential expression with the exceptional Xm-Jacobi orthogonal polynomials as eigenfunctions. This proves that those polynomials are indeed eigenfunctions of the self-adjoint operator (rather than just formal eigenfunctions). Further, we prove the completenes...

In this work we construct algebraic equation for elements of spectrum of linearized Fokker Planck differential operator for incompressible fluid. We calculate roots of this equation using simple numeric method. For all these roots real part is positive, that is corresponding solutions are damping. Eigenfunctions of linearized Fokker Planck differential operator for incompressible fluid are expr...

The approximation of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of an elliptic operator is a key computational task in many areas of applied mathematics and computational physics. An important case, especially in quantum physics, is the computation of the spectrum of a Schrödinger operator with a disordered potential. Unlike plane waves or Bloch waves that arise as Schrödinger eigenfunctions for period...
