Essential spectrum of non-self-adjoint singular matrix differential operators

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to study the essential spectrum of non-self-adjoint singular matrix differential operators in the Hilbert space L2(mathbbR)oplusL2(mathbbR) induced by matrix differential expressions of the form �egin{align}label{abstract:mdo} left(�egin{array}{cc} au_{11}(,cdot,,D) & au_{12}(,cdot,,D)\[3.5ex] au_{21}(,cdot,,D) & au_{22}(,cdot,,D) end{array} ight), end{align} where au11, au12, au21, au22 are respectively m-th, n-th, k-th and 0 order ordinary differential expressions with m=n+k being even. Under suitable assumptions on their coefficients, we establish an analytic description of the essential spectrum. It turns out that the points of the essential spectrum either have a local origin, which can be traced to points where the ellipticity in the sense of Douglis and Nirenberg breaks down, or they are caused by singularity at infinity.
