For any operator defined by the differential operation Lu = −u″ + q(x)u on the interval G = (0, 1) with complex-valued potential q(x) locally integrable on G and satisfying the inequalities \(\int_{{x_1}}^{{x_2}} {\zeta |(q(\zeta ))|d\zeta \leqslant ln({x_1}/{x_2})} \) and \(\int_{{x_1}}^{{x_2}} {\zeta |(q(1 - \zeta ))|d\zeta \leqslant \gamma ln({x_1}/{x_2})} \) with some constant γ for all sufficiently small 0 < x₁ < x₂, we estimate the norms of root functions in the Lebesgue spaces L_p(G), 1 ≤ p < ∞. We show that for sufficiently small γ these norms satisfy the same estimates asymptotic in the spectral parameter as in the unperturbed case.

We consider the Dirac operator on the interval [0, 1] with the periodic boundary conditions and with a continuous potential Q(x) whose diagonal is zero and which satisfies the condition Q(x) = Q^T(1−x), x ∈ [0, 1]. We establish a relationship between the spectrum of this operator and the spectra of related functional-differential operators with involution. We prove that the system of eigenfunctions of this Dirac operator has the Riesz basis property in the space L₂² [0, 1].

For linear differential systems with a real parameter multiplying the coefficient matrix, we obtain a complete description of the sets of parameter values for which the system is reducible.

In a Banach space E, we consider the abstract Euler–Poisson–Darboux equation u″(t) + kt⁻¹u′(t) = Au(t) on the half-line. (Here k ∈ ℝ is a parameter, and A is a closed linear operator with dense domain on E.) We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the solvability of the Cauchy problem u(0) = 0, lim _t→0+t^ku′(t) = u₁, k < 0, for this equation. The condition is stated in terms of an estimate for the norms of the fractional power of the resolvent of A and its derivatives. We introduce the operator Bessel function with negative index and study its properties.

We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the Riquier–Neumann problem for the inhomogeneous polyharmonic equation in the unit ball.

We consider a reaction–diffusion-type equation in a two-dimensional domain containing the interface between media with distinct characteristics along which the reactive term has a discontinuity of the first kind. We assume that the interface between the media, as well as the functions describing the reactions, periodically varies in time. We study the existence of a stable periodic solution of a problem with an internal layer. To prove the existence, stability, and local uniqueness of the solution, we use the asymptotic method of differential inequalities, which we generalized to a new class of problems with discontinuous nonlinearities.

For an embedding i : X ↪ M of smooth manifolds and a Fourier integral operator Φ on M defined as the quantization of a canonical transformation g: T*M \ {0} → T*M \ {0}, we consider the operator i*Φi* on the submanifold X, where i* and i_* are the boundary and coboundary operators corresponding to the embedding i. We present conditions on the transformation g under which such an operator has the form of a Fourier integral operator associated with the fiber of the cotangent bundle over a point. We obtain an explicit formula for calculating the amplitude of this operator in local coordinates.
