Convergence Radii for Eigenvalues of Tri--diagonal Matrices

Consider a family of infinite tri--diagonal matrices of the form $L+ zB,$ where the matrix $L$ is diagonal with entries $L_{kk}= k^2,$ and the matrix $B$ is off--diagonal, with nonzero entries $B_{k,{k+1}}=B_{{k+1},k}= k^\alpha, 0 \leq \alpha < 2.$ The spectrum of $L+ zB$ is discrete. For small $|z|$ the $n$-th eigenvalue $E_n (z), E_n (0) = n^2,$ is a well--defined analytic function. Let $R_n$ be the convergence radius of its Taylor's series about $z= 0.$ It is proved that $$ R_n \leq C(\alpha) n^{2-\alpha} \quad \text{if} 0 \leq \alpha <11/6.$

Equiconvergence of spectral decompositions of Hill operators

We study in various functional spaces the equiconvergence of spectral decompositions of the Hill operator L = -d (2)/dx (2) + v(x), x a L (1)([0, pi], with H (per) (-1) -potential and the free operator L (0) = -d (2)/dx (2), subject to periodic, antiperiodic or Dirichlet boundary conditions. In particular, we prove that parallel to S-N - S-N(0) : L-a -> L-b parallel to -> 0 if 1 < a <= b < infinity, 1/a - 1/b < 1/2, where S (N) and S (N) (0) are the N-th partial sums of the spectral decompositions of L and L (0). Moreover, if v a H (-alpha) with 1/2 < alpha < 1 and , then we obtain the uniform equiconvergence aEuro-S (N) -S (N) (0) : L (a) -> L (a)aEuro- -> 0 as N -> a
