Invariance of the essential spectra of operator pencils. - Ilmenau : Technische Universität Ilmenau, Institut für Mathematik, 2019. - 1 Online-Ressource (15 Seiten). - (Preprint ; M19,03)
The essential spectrum of operator pencils with bounded coefficients in a Hilbert space is studied. Sufficient conditions in terms of the operator coefficients of two pencils are derived which guarantee the same essential spectrum. This is done by exploiting a strong relation between an operator pencil and a specific linear subspace (linear relation).

Operator based approach to PT-symmetric problems on a wedge-shaped contour. - Ilmenau : Technische Universität Ilmenau, Institut für Mathematik, 2019. - 1 Online-Ressource (23 Seiten). - (Preprint ; M19,02)
We consider a second-order differential equation -y''(z)-(iz)^{N+2}y(z)=\lambda y(z), z\in \Gamma with an eigenvalue parameter \lambda \in C. In PT quantum mechanics z runs through a complex contour \Gamma in C, which is in general not the real line nor a real half-line. Via a parametrization we map the problem back to the real line and obtain two differential equations on [0,\infty) and on (-\infty,0]. They are coupled in zero by boundary conditions and their potentials are not real-valued. The main result is a classification of this problem along the well-known limit-point/ limit-circle scheme for complex potentials introduced by A.R. Sims 60 years ago. Moreover, we associate operators to the two half-line problems and to the full axis problem and study their spectra.

Spectral bounds for indefinite singular Sturm-Liouville operators with uniformly locally integrable potentials. - Ilmenau : Technische Universität Ilmenau, Institut für Mathematik, 2019. - 1 Online-Ressource (26 Seiten). - (Preprint ; M19,01)
The non-real spectrum of a singular indefinite Sturm-Liouville operator A=1/r (-d/dx p d/dx+q) with a sign changing weight function r consists (under suitable additional assumptions on the real coefficients 1/p,q,r in L^1_loc(R)) of isolated eigenvalues with finite algebraic multiplicity which are symmetric with respect to the real line. In this paper bounds on the absolute values and the imaginary parts of the non-real eigenvalues of A are proved for uniformly locally integrable potentials q and potentials $q in L^s(R) for some s in [1,\infty]. The bounds depend on the negative part of q, on the norm of 1/p and in an implicit way on the sign changes and zeros of the weight function.
