Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

We consider a self-adjoint differential operator in the Hilbert space. The domain of the operator is changed by the perturbation of the boundary conditions so that a given neighborhood “there are no eigenvalues on neighborhood of zero” from the points of the spectrum of the perturbed operator. For the Sturm-Liouville operator on the segment and the Laplace operator on the square such a possibility is achieved through integral perturbations of boundary conditions. These statements are given with full proofs, and with a possible extension.
