Stationary scattering theory on mainifolds, I

We study spectral theory for the Schrodinger operator on manifolds possessing an escape function. A particular class of examples are manifolds with Euclidean and/or hyperbolic ends.Comment: pp 3

Chandrasekhar equations for infinite dimensional systems

Chandrasekhar equations are derived for linear time invariant systems defined on Hilbert spaces using a functional analytic technique. An important consequence of this is that the solution to the evolutional Riccati equation is strongly differentiable in time and one can define a strong solution of the Riccati differential equation. A detailed discussion on the linear quadratic optimal control problem for hereditary differential systems is also included

Legendre-tau approximation for functional differential equations. Part 2: The linear quadratic optimal control problem

The numerical scheme based on the Legendre-tau approximation is proposed to approximate the feedback solution to the linear quadratic optimal control problem for hereditary differential systems. The convergence property is established using Trotter ideas. The method yields very good approximations at low orders and provides an approximation technique for computing closed-loop eigenvalues of the feedback system. A comparison with existing methods (based on averaging and spline approximations) is made
