Mantile", "A. Posilicano", "M.

Our approach allows to obtain Krein-like resolvent formulas where the reference operator coincides with the \"free\" operator with domain $H^{2}(\\mathbb{R}^{n})$; this provides an useful tool for the scattering problem from a hypersurface. Concrete examples of this construction are developed in connection with the standard boundary conditions, Dirichlet, Neumann, Robin, $\\delta$ and $\\delta^{\\prime}$-type, assigned either on a $n-1$ dimensional compact boundary $\\Gamma=\\partial\\Omega$ or on a relatively open part $\\Sigma\\subset\\Gamma$. Schatten-von Neumann estimates for the difference of the powers of resolvents of the free and the perturbed operators are also proven; these give existence and completeness of the wave operators of the associated scattering systems.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-05-27T09:34:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "self-adjoint elliptic operators", "closed hypersurfaces", "relatively open part", "second-order elliptic operator", "construct self-adjoint realizations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
