We consider the interior transmission eigenvalue (ITE) problem, which arises when scattering by inhomogeneous media is studied. The ITE problem is not self-adjoint. We show that positive ITEs are observable together with plus or minus signs that are defined by the direction of motion of the corresponding eigenvalues of the scattering matrix (when the latter approach {bf$z=1$)}. We obtain a Weyl type formula for the counting function of positive ITEs, which are taken together with ascribed signs.
We study the transmission eigenvalues for the multipoint scatterers of the Bethe-Peierls-Fermi-Zeldovich-Beresin-Faddeev type in dimensions $d=2$ and $d=3$. We show that for these scatterers: 1) each positive energy $E$ is a transmission eigenvalue (in the strong sense) of infinite multiplicity; 2) each complex $E$ is an interior transmission eigenvalue of infinite multiplicity. The case of dimension $d=1$ is also discussed.
We study sufficient conditions for the absence of positive eigenvalues of magnetic Schrodinger operators in $mathbb{R}^d,, dgeq 2$. In our main result we prove the absence of eigenvalues above certain threshold energy which depends explicitly on the magnetic and electric field. A comparison with the examples of Miller--Simon shows that our result is sharp as far as the decay of the magnetic field is concerned. As applications, we describe several consequences of the main result for two-dimensional Pauli and Dirac operators, and two and three dimensional Aharonov--Bohm operators.
The transmission problem is a system of two second-order elliptic equations of two unknowns equipped with the Cauchy data on the boundary. After four decades of research motivated by scattering theory, the spectral properties of this problem are now known to depend on a type of contrast between coefficients near the boundary. Previously, we established the discreteness of eigenvalues for a large class of anisotropic coefficients which is related to the celebrated complementing conditions due to Agmon, Douglis, and Nirenberg. In this work, we establish the Weyl law for the eigenvalues and the completeness of the generalized eigenfunctions for this class of coefficients under an additional mild assumption on the continuity of the coefficients. The analysis is new and based on the $L^p$ regularity theory for the transmission problem established here. It also involves a subtle application of the spectral theory for the Hilbert Schmidt operators. Our work extends largely known results in the literature which are mainly devoted to the isotropic case with $C^infty$-coefficients.
We consider inverse obstacle and transmission scattering problems where the source of the incident waves is located on a smooth closed surface that is a boundary of a domain located outside of the obstacle/inhomogeneity of the media. The domain can be arbitrarily small but fixed.The scattered waves are measured on the same surface. An effective procedure is suggested for recovery of interior eigenvalues by these data.
We present explicit formulas for the Faddeev eigenfunctions and related generalized scattering data for multipoint potentials in two and three dimensions. For single point potentials in 3D such formulas were obtained in an old unpublished work of L.D. Faddeev. For single point potentials in 2D such formulas were given recently by the authors in arXiv:1110.3157 .
