We construct a new type of convergent, and asymptotic, representations, dyadic expansions. Their convergence is geometric and the region of convergence often extends from infinity down to . We show that dyadic expansions are numerically efficient representations. For special functions such as Bessel, Airy, Ei, erfc, Gamma, etc. the region of convergence of dyadic series is the complex plane minus a ray, with this cut chosen at will. Dyadic expansions thus provide uniform, geometrically convergent asymptotic expansions including near antistokes rays. We prove that relatively general functions, Écalle resurgent ones, possess convergent dyadic expansions. These expansions extend to operators, resulting in representations of the resolvent of self-adjoint operators as series in terms of the associated unitary evolution operator evaluated at some prescribed discrete times (alternatively, for positive operators, in terms of the generated semigroup).

First‐order asymptotic perturbation theory for extensions of symmetric operators
Abstract This work offers a new prospective on asymptotic perturbation theory for varying self‐adjoint extensions of symmetric operators. Employing symplectic formulation of self‐adjointness, we use a version of resolvent difference identity for two arbitrary self‐adjoint extensions that facilitates asymptotic analysis of resolvent operators via first‐order expansion for the family of Lagrangian planes associated with perturbed operators. Specifically, we derive a Riccati‐type differential equation and the first‐order asymptotic expansion for resolvents of self‐adjoint extensions determined by smooth one‐parameter families of Lagrangian planes. This asymptotic perturbation theory yields a symplectic version of the abstract Kato selection theorem and Hadamard–Rellich‐type variational formula for slopes of multiple eigenvalue curves bifurcating from an eigenvalue of the unperturbed operator. The latter, in turn, gives a general infinitesimal version of the celebrated formula equating the spectral flow of a path of self‐adjoint extensions and the Maslov index of the corresponding path of Lagrangian planes. Applications are given to quantum graphs, periodic Kronig–Penney model, elliptic second‐order partial differential operators with Robin boundary conditions, and physically relevant heat equations with thermal conductivity.

Abstract This paper presents an in-depth analysis of a parametrized version of the resolvent composition, an operation that combines a set-valued operator and a linear operator. We provide new properties and examples, and show that resolvent compositions can be interpreted as parallel compositions of perturbed operators. Additionally, we establish new monotonicity results, even in cases when the initial operator is not monotone. Finally, we derive asymptotic results regarding operator convergence, specifically focusing on graph-convergence and the$$\rho $$ -Hausdorff distance.more » « less

In many applied problems one seeks to identify and count the critical points of a particular eigenvalue of a smooth parametric family of self-adjoint matrices, with the parameter space often being known and simple, such as a torus. Among particular settings where such a question arises are the Floquet–Bloch decomposition of periodic Schrödinger operators, topology of potential energy surfaces in quantum chemistry, spectral optimization problems such as minimal spectral partitions of manifolds, as well as nodal statistics of graph eigenfunctions. In contrast to the classical Morse theory dealing with smooth functions, the eigenvalues of families of self-adjoint matrices are not smooth at the points corresponding to repeated eigenvalues (called, depending on the application and on the dimension of the parameter space, the diabolical/Dirac/Weyl points or the conical intersections). This work develops a procedure for associating a Morse polynomial to a point of eigenvalue multiplicity; it utilizes the assumptions of smoothness and self-adjointness of the family to provide concrete answers. In particular, we define the notions of non-degenerate topologically critical point and generalized Morse family, establish that generalized Morse families are generic in an appropriate sense, establish a differential first-order conditions for criticality, as well as compute the local contribution of a topologically critical point to the Morse polynomial. Remarkably, the non-smooth contribution to the Morse polynomial turns out to depend only on the size of the eigenvalue multiplicity and the relative position of the eigenvalue of interest and not on the particulars of the operator family; it is expressed in terms of the homologies of Grassmannians.more » « less

Abstract In the mid 1980s it was conjectured that every bispectral meromorphic function {\psi(x,y)} gives rise to an integral operator {K_{\psi}(x,y)} which possesses a commuting differential operator.This has been verified by a direct computation for several families of functions {\psi(x,y)} where the commuting differential operator is oforder {\leq 6} . We prove a general version of this conjecture for all self-adjoint bispectral functions of rank 1and all self-adjoint bispectral Darboux transformations of the rank 2 Bessel and Airy functions.The method is based on a theorem giving an exact estimate of the second- and first-order terms ofthe growth of the Fourier algebra of each such bispectral function. From it we obtaina sharp upper bound on the order of the commuting differential operator for theintegral kernel {K_{\psi}(x,y)} leading to a fast algorithmic procedurefor constructing the differential operator; unlike the previous examples its order is arbitrarily high.We prove that the above classes of bispectral functions are parametrized by infinite-dimensionalGrassmannians which are the Lagrangian loci of the Wilson adelic Grassmannian and its analogsin rank 2.more » « less

We study the asymptotic behavior, uniform-in-time, of a nonlinear dynamical system under the combined effects of fast periodic sampling with period [Formula: see text] and small white noise of size [Formula: see text]. The dynamics depend on both the current and recent measurements of the state, and as such it is not Markovian. Our main results can be interpreted as Law of Large Numbers (LLN) and Central Limit Theorem (CLT) type results. LLN type result shows that the resulting stochastic process is close to an ordinary differential equation (ODE) uniformly in time as [Formula: see text] Further, in regards to CLT, we provide quantitative and uniform-in-time control of the fluctuations process. The interaction of the small parameters provides an additional drift term in the limiting fluctuations, which captures both the sampling and noise effects. As a consequence, we obtain a first-order perturbation expansion of the stochastic process along with time-independent estimates on the remainder. The zeroth- and first-order terms in the expansion are given by an ODE and SDE, respectively. Simulation studies that illustrate and supplement the theoretical results are also provided.more » « less
