New spectral bounds for damped systems
Appears in collection : Mathematical aspects of physics with non-self-adjoint operators / Les aspects mathématiques de la physique avec les opérateurs non-auto-adjoints
In this talk new enclosures for the spectra of operators associated with second order Cauchy problems are presented for non-selfadjoint damping. Our new results yield much better bounds than the numerical range of these non-selfadjoint operators for both uniformly accretive and sectorial damping. (joint work with B. Jacob, Carsten Trunk and H. Vogt)
