Invertible weighted composition operators

A weighted composition operator Cψ,φ takes an analytic map f on the open unit disc of the complex plane to the analytic map ψ⋅f°φ where φ is an analytic map of the open unit disc into itself and ψ is an analytic map on the open unit disc. This paper studies the invertibility of such operators. The two maps ψ and φ are characterized when Cψ,φ acts on the Hardy-Hilbert space of the unit disc H²(D). Depending upon the nature of the fixed points of φ spectra are then investigated.     

Essential norm of products of multiplication composition and differentiation operators on weighted Bergman spaces

Let ψ be a holomorphic function on the open unit disk D and φ a holomorphic self-map of D. Let C_φ,M_ψ and D denote the composition, multiplication and differentiation operator, respectively. We find an asymptotic expression for the essential norm of products of these operators on weighted Bergman spaces on the unit disk. This paper is a continuation of our recent paper concerning the boundedness of these operators on weighted Bergman spaces.     

Products of multiplication composition and differentiation operators on weighted Bergman spaces

Let ψ be a holomorphic function on the open unit disk D and φ a holomorphic self-map of D. Let C_φ, M_ψ and D denote the composition, multiplication and differentiation operator, respectively. We consider linear operators induced by products of these operators on weighted Bergman spaces on D. The boundedness is established by using Carleson-type measures.     

The norm of a composition operator with linear symbol acting on the Dirichlet space

We obtain a representation for the norm of a composition operator on the Dirichlet space induced by a map of the form φ(z)=az+b. We compare this result to an upper bound for ‖Cφ‖ that is valid whenever φ is univalent. Our work relies heavily on an adjoint formula recently discovered by Gallardo-Gutiérrez and Montes-Rodríguez.     

Composition operators from the Hardy space to the nth weighted-type space on the unit disk and the half-plane

The boundedness of the composition operator C_φf(z)=f(φ(z)) from the Hardy space , where X is the upper half-plane or the unit disk D={z∈C:|z|<1} in the complex plane C, to the nth weighted-type space, where φ is an analytic self-map of X, is characterized.     

The holomorphic solutions of the generalized Dhombres functional equation

We study holomorphic solutions f of the generalized Dhombres equation f(zf(z))=φ(f(z)), z∈C, where φ is in the class E of entire functions. We show, that there is a nowhere dense set E₀⊂E such that for every φ∈E?E₀, any solution f vanishes at 0 and hence, satisfies the conditions for local analytic solutions with fixed point 0 from our recent paper. Consequently, we are able to provide a characterization of solutions in the typical case where φ∈E?E₀. We also show that for polynomial φ any holomorphic solution on C?{0} can be extended to the whole of C. Using this, in special cases like φ(z)=zk+1, k∈N, we can provide a characterization of the analytic solutions in C.     

Numerical ranges of weighted composition operators

The operator that takes the function f   to ψf°φ$\psi f°\phi$ is a weighted composition operator. We study numerical ranges of some classes of weighted composition operators on H²$H^2$, the Hardy–Hilbert space of the unit disc. We consider the case where φ is a rotation of the unit disc and identify a class of convexoid operators. In the case of isometric weighted composition operators we give a complete classification of their numerical ranges. We also consider the inclusion of zero in the interior of the numerical range.

An improvement of Montel's criterion

Let F be a family of holomorphic functions in a domain D, and let a(z), b(z) be two holomorphic functions in D such that a(z)?b(z), and a(z)?a^′(z) or b(z)?b^′(z). In this paper, we prove that: if, for each f∈F, f(z)−a(z) and f(z)−b(z) have no common zeros, f^′(z)=a(z) whenever f(z)=a(z), and f^′(z)=b(z) whenever f(z)=b(z) in D, then F is normal in D. This result improves and generalizes the classical Montel's normality criterion, and the related results of Pang, Fang and the first author. Some examples are given to show the sharpness of our result.     

Composition operators from the space of Cauchy transforms to Bloch and the little Bloch-type spaces on the unit disk

We completely characterize the boundedness and compactness of composition operators from the space of Cauchy transforms on the unit disk D, into the Bloch-type space B_ν as well as the little Bloch-type space B_ν,0, consisting respectively of all holomorphic functions f on D such that sup_z∈Dν(z)|f^′(z)|<∞, that is, of all holomorphic functions f on D such that lim_|z|→1ν(z)|f^′(z)|=0, for some weight function ν. As a byproduct of our results, norm of the operator is calculated when B_ν is replaced by B_ν/C.     

Essential spectra of quasi-parabolic composition operators on Hardy spaces of analytic functions

In this work we study the essential spectra of composition operators on Hardy spaces of analytic functions which might be termed as “quasi-parabolic.” This is the class of composition operators on H² with symbols whose conjugate with the Cayley transform on the upper half-plane are of the form φ(z)=z+ψ(z), where ψ∈H^∞(H) and ℑ(ψ(z))>?>0. We especially examine the case where ψ is discontinuous at infinity. A new method is devised to show that this type of composition operator fall in a C*-algebra of Toeplitz operators and Fourier multipliers. This method enables us to provide new examples of essentially normal composition operators and to calculate their essential spectra.     

Local analytic solutions of the generalized Dhombres functional equation II

We study local analytic solutions f of the generalized Dhombres functional equation f(zf(z))=φ(f(z)), where φ is holomorphic at w₀≠0, f is holomorphic in some open neighborhood of 0, depending on f, and f(0)=w₀. After deriving necessary conditions on φ for the existence of nonconstant solutions f with f(0)=w₀ we describe, assuming these conditions, the structure of the set of all formal solutions, provided that w₀ is not a root of 1. If |w₀|≠1 or if w₀ is a Siegel number we show that all formal solutions yield local analytic ones. For w₀ with 0<|w₀|<1 we give representations of these solutions involving infinite products.     

Eigenfunctions of Composition Operators on Bloch-type Spaces

Suppose φ is a holomorphic self map of the unit disk and C_φ is a composition operator with symbol φ that fixes the origin and 0 < |φ'(0)| < 1. This paper explores sufficient conditions that ensure all the holomorphic solutions of Schröder equation for the composition operator C_φ to belong to a Bloch-type space B_α for some α > 0. In the second part of the paper, the results obtained for composition operators are extended to the case of weighted composition operators.     

Approximation by antiderivatives

Let Ω ?C be an open set with simply connected components and suppose that the functionφ is holomorphic on Ω. We prove the existence of a sequence {φ ^(?n)} ofn-fold antiderivatives (i.e., we haveφ ⁽⁰⁾(z)∶=φ(z) andφ ^(?n)(z)=dφ ^(?n?1)(z)/dz for alln ∈ N₀ and z ∈ Ω) such that the following properties hold:

1. For any compact setB ?Ω with connected complement and any functionf that is continuous onB and holomorphic in its interior, there exists a sequence {n _k} such that {φ^?nk} converges tof uniformly onB.
2. For any open setU ?Ω with simply connected components and any functionf that is holomorphic onU, there exists a sequence {m _k} such that {φ^?mk} converges tof compactly onU.
3. For any measurable setE ?Ω and any functionf that is measurable onE, there exists a sequence {p _k} such that {φ ^(-Pk)} converges tof almost everywhere onE.

     

A new generalization of the Lelong number

We will introduce a quantity which measures the singularity of a plurisubharmonic function φ relative to another plurisubharmonic function ψ, at a point a. We denote this quantity by ν _a,ψ (φ). It can be seen as a generalization of the classical Lelong number in a natural way: if ψ=(n?1)log|????a|, where n is the dimension of the set where φ is defined, then ν _a,ψ (φ) coincides with the classical Lelong number of φ at the point a. The main theorem of this article says that the upper level sets of our generalized Lelong number, i.e. the sets of the form {z:ν _z,ψ (φ)≥c} where c>0, are in fact analytic sets, provided that the weight ψ satisfies some additional conditions.     

On the Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability of functional equations in n-variables

In this paper we investigate a generalization of the Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability for a functional equation of the form f(φ(X))=?(X)f(X)+ψ(X) and the stability in the sense of Ger for the functional equation of the form f(φ(X))=?(X)f(X), where X lie in n-variables. As a consequence, we obtain a stability result in the sense of Hyers-Ulam-Rassias, Gǎvruta, and Ger for some well-known equations such as the gamma, beta, and G-function type's equations.

On compactness of the difference of composition operators

Let φ and ψ be analytic self-maps of the unit disc, and denote by C_φ and C_ψ the induced composition operators. The compactness and weak compactness of the difference T=C_φ−C_ψ are studied on H^p spaces of the unit disc and L^p spaces of the unit circle. It is shown that the compactness of T on H^p is independent of p∈[1,∞). The compactness of T on L¹ and M (the space of complex measures) is characterized, and examples of φ and ψ are constructed such that T is compact on H¹ but non-compact on L¹. Other given results deal with L^∞, weakly compact counterparts of the previous results, and a conjecture of J.E. Shapiro.

Let H(B) denote the space of all holomorphic functions on the open unit ball B of Cⁿ. Let φ=(φ₁,…,φ_n) be a holomorphic self-map of B and g∈H(B) such that g(0)=0. In this paper we study the boundedness and compactness of the following integral-type operator, recently introduced by Xiangling Zhu and the second author
