Factorization for the matrix-valued general Jacobi system on the full-line lattice

Tuncay Aktosun, Abdon E. Choque-Rivero, Vassilis G. Papanicolaou +2

The Jacobi system with matrix-valued coefficients and with the spectral parameter depending on a matrix-valued weight factor is considered on the full-line lattice. The scattering…

A Probabilistic Model for Forest Fires

Vassilis G. Papanicolaou

We propose a discrete two-dimensional mathematical model for forest fires and we derive certain results describing its limiting behavior. We also pose a relevant open question.

Non-Self-Adjoint Hill Operators whose Spectrum is a Real Interval

Vassilis G. Papanicolaou

Let $H = - d^{2} / d x^{2} + q (x)$ , $x \in R$ , where $q (x)$ is a periodic potential, and suppose that the spectrum $I ¨ (H)$ of $H$ is the positive semi-axis $[0, \infty)$ . In the c…
