We describe a numerical procedure to compute the so-called isospectral torus of finite gap sets, that is, the set of Jacobi matrices whose essential spectrum is composed of finitely many intervals. We also study numerically the convergence of specific Jacobi matrices to their isospectral limit. We then extend the analyis to the definition and computation of an isospectral torus for Cantor sets in the family of Iterated Function Systems. This analysis is developed with the ultimate goal of attacking numerically the conjecture that the Jacobi matrices of I.F.S. measures supported on Cantor sets are asymptotically almost-periodic.

We extend the proof in [M.~Crouzeix and C.~Palencia, {em The numerical range is a $(1 + sqrt{2})$-spectral set}, SIAM Jour.~Matrix Anal.~Appl., 38 (2017), pp.~649-655] to show that other regions in the complex plane are $K$-spectral sets. In particular, we show that various annular regions are $(1 + sqrt{2} )$-spectral sets and that a more general convex region with a circular hole or cutout is a $(3 + 2 sqrt{3} )$-spectral set. We demonstrate how these results can be used to give bounds on the convergence rate of the GMRES algorithm for solving linear systems and on that of rational Krylov subspace methods for approximating $f(A)b$, where $A$ is a square matrix, $b$ is a given vector, and $f$ is a function that can be uniformly approximated on such a region by rational functions with poles outside the region.
We study the orthogonal polynomials associated with the equilibrium measure, in logarithmic potential theory, living on the attractor of an Iterated Function System. We construct sequences of discrete measures, that converge weakly to the equilibrium measure, and we compute their Jacobi matrices via standard procedures, suitably enhanced for the scope. Numerical estimates of the convergence rate to the limit Jacobi matrix are provided, that show stability and efficiency of the whole procedure. As a secondary result, we also compute Jacobi matrices of equilibrium measures on finite sets of intervals, and of balanced measures of Iterated Function Systems. These algorithms can reach large orders: we study the asymptotic behavior of the orthogonal polynomials and we show that they can be used to efficiently compute Greens functions and conformal mappings of interest in constructive function theory.
We introduce a topological object, called hairy Cantor set, which in many ways enjoys the universal features of objects like Jordan curve, Cantor set, Cantor bouquet, hairy Jordan curve, etc. We give an axiomatic characterisation of hairy Cantor sets, and prove that any two such objects in the plane are ambiently homeomorphic. Hairy Cantor sets appear in the study of the dynamics of holomorphic maps with infinitely many renormalisation structures. They are employed to link the fundamental concepts of polynomial-like renormalisation by Douady-Hubbard with the arithmetic conditions obtained by Herman-Yoccoz in the study of the dynamics of analytic circle diffeomorphisms.
In this paper we study the numerical instabilities of the NLS Akhmediev breather, the simplest space periodic, one-mode perturbation of the unstable background, limiting our considerations to the simplest case of one unstable mode. In agreement with recent theoretical findings of the authors, in the situation in which the round-off errors are negligible with respect to the perturbations due to the discrete scheme used in the numerical experiments, the split-step Fourier method (SSFM), the numerical output is well-described by a suitable genus 2 finite-gap solution of NLS. This solution can be written in terms of different elementary functions in different time regions and, ultimately, it shows an exact recurrence of rogue waves described, at each appearance, by the Akhmediev breather. We discover a remarkable empirical formula connecting the recurrence time with the number of time steps used in the SSFM and, via our recent theoretical findings, we establish that the SSFM opens up a vertical unstable gap whose length can be computed with high accuracy, and is proportional to the inverse of the square of the number of time steps used in the SSFM. This neat picture essentially changes when the round-off error is sufficiently large. Indeed experiments in standard double precision show serious instabilities in both the periods and phases of the recurrence. In contrast with it, as predicted by the theory, replacing the exact Akhmediev Cauchy datum by its first harmonic approximation, we only slightly modify the numerical output. Let us also remark, that the first rogue wave appearance is completely stable in all experiments and is in perfect agreement with the Akhmediev formula and with the theoretical prediction in terms of the Cauchy data.
We propose a definition o meta-stability and obtain sufficient conditions for a sequence of Markov processes on finite state spaces to be meta-stable. In the reversible case, these conditions reduce to estimates of the capacity and the measure of certain meta-stable sets. We prove that a class of condensed zero-range processes with asymptotically decreasing jump rates is meta-stable.
