The second edition significantly expands upon the first by introducing two new chapters that provide a complete description of the spectral theory of non-self-adjoint differential operators with periodic coefficients. The first of these new chapters focuses on the vector case, offering a detailed analysis of the spectral theory of non-self-adjoint Schrödinger operators with periodic matrix potentials. It thoroughly examines eigenvalues, eigenfunctions, and spectral expansions for systems of one-dimensional Schrödinger operators. The second chapter develops a comprehensive spectral theory for all ordinary differential operators, including higher-order and vector cases, with periodic coefficients. It also includes a complete classification of the spectrum for PT-symmetric periodic differential operators, making this edition the most comprehensive treatment of these topics to date.
The book begins with foundational topics, including spectral theory for Schrödinger operators with complex-valued periodic potentials, and systematically advances to specialized cases such as the Mathieu-Schrödinger operator and PT-symmetric periodic systems. By progressively increasing the complexity, it provides a unified and accessible framework for students and researchers. The approaches developed here open new horizons for spectral analysis, particularly in the context of optics, quantum mechanics, and mathematical physics.
