CONDITIONS FOR THE DISCRETENESS OF THE SPECTRUM OF SINGULAR ELLIPTIC OPERATORS (thesis)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4687687
The Direchlet problem for singular second order elliptic operators is examined. Such an operator is defined and extended to a closed, densely defined, Direchlet operator L with a resolvent set contained in a left half-plane. After obtaining L, criteria are formulated for the discreteness of the spectrum of L, and a corollary to the discreteness theorem developed is proved. Criteria for nondiscreteness in a special case are also derived, and positive lower bounds for the least eigenvalue of a positive definite hermitian matrix are developed. (auth)
