Abstract:
We consider the spectral problem for the operator
$$
Af(x)=ixf(-x)+\int_{-1}^1K(x,y)f(y)\,dy
$$
acting in $L_2[-1,1]$. For a certain class of kernels $K$, we prove the finiteness of the discrete spectrum of the operator $A$.
In the case of a finite-dimensional perturbation, we also obtain sufficient conditions for the emptiness of the discrete spectrum.
