Research Interests
- differential operators, in particular elliptic PDOs and differential operators with singular coefficients
- functions whose values are operators on a Banach space for the study of spectral problems that depend nonlinearly on the eigenvalue parameter
- block operator matrices, i.e. matrices whose entries are operators between Banach spaces, with applications to systems of differential equations
- inverse problems: in particular, mathematical models for non-destructive testing with ultrasonic waves, inverse spectral problems for differential equations with singular coefficients
- operator semigroups and evolution equations, in particular, coagulation-fragmentation equations
- spaces with indefinite inner products and their use in singular perturbations and inverse spectral theory

- Block operator matrices are matrices whose entries are operators in Hilbert or Banach spaces. Such operators appear in a natural way when systems of differential equations with different order and type are investigated or an operator in a given space is considered that has a natural decomposition intosubspaces. In many applications of mathematical physics it is natural and fruitful to use the theory of block operator matrices. It is the aim to study spectral properties of such block operator matrices: location of the essential spectrum, variational principles and estimates for eigenvalues, investigation of spectral subspaces, basis properties of components of eigenvectors and generalised Fourier transforms. Particular emphasis is placed on unbounded block operator matrices, for which different cases have to be considered separately; these cases depend on the places where the strongest operators are located. The results should be applied to concrete operators arising in applications, mainly ordinary or partial differential operators.
