On a characterization of the essential spectra of some matrix operators and application to two-group transport operators

In this paper, we investigate the essential approximate point spectrum and the essential defect spectrum of a 2 × 2 block operator matrix on a Banach space. Furthermore, we apply the obtained results to two-group transport operators in the Banach space L _p ([−a, a] × [−1, 1]) × L _p ([−a, a] × [−1, 1]), a > 0, p ≥ 1.     

S‐essential spectra and application to an example of transport operators

In this article, we give some results on the S‐essential spectra of a linear operator defined on a Banach space. Furthermore, we apply the obtained results to determine the S‐essential spectra of an integro‐differential operator with abstract boundary conditions in the Banach space L_p([?a,a] × [?1,1]),p ≥ 1 and a > 0.

Essential spectra of some matrix operators and application to two-group transport operators with general boundary conditions

In this article we investigate the essential spectra of a 2×2 block operator matrix on a Banach space. Furthermore, we apply the obtained results to determine the essential spectra of two-group transport operators with general boundary conditions in the Banach space Lp([−a,a]×[−1,1])×Lp([−a,a]×[−1,1]), a>0.     

Factorization of operator valued Lp for 0 ≤ p < 1

In [5], it is proved that a bounded linear operator u, from a Banach space Y into an L_p(S, ν) factors through L_p1 (S, ν) for some p₁ > 1, if Y* is of finite cotype; (S, ν) is a probability space for p = 0, and any measure space for 0 < p < 1. In this paper, we generalize this result to uv, where u : Y → L_p(S, ν) and v : X → Y are linear operators such that v* is of finite Ka?in cotype. This result gives also a new proof of Grothendieck's theorem. (© 2004 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Products of operator ideals and extensions of Schatten classes

We study relations between Schatten classes and product operator ideals, where one of the factors is the Banach ideal Π_E,2 of (E, 2)‐summing operators, and where E is a Banach sequence space with ?₂ ? E. We show that for a large class of 2‐convex symmetric Banach sequence spaces the product ideal Π_E,2 ○ ??^a_q,s is an extension of the Schatten class ??_F with a suitable Lorentz space F. As an application, we obtain that if 2 ≤ p, q < ∞, 1/r = 1/p + 1/q and E is a 2‐convex symmetric space with fundamental function λ_E(n) ≈? n^1/p, then Π_E,2 ○ Π_q is an extension of the Schatten class ??r,q (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Generalized Stokes resolvent equations in an infinite layer with mixed boundary conditions

In this paper we prove unique solvability of the generalized Stokes resolvent equations in an infinite layer Ω₀ = ℝ^{n –1} × (–1, 1), n ≥ 2, in L^q ‐Sobolev spaces, 1 < q < ∞, with slip boundary condition of on the “upper boundary” ∂Ω⁺₀ = ℝ^{n –1} × {1} and non‐slip boundary condition on the “lower boundary” ∂Ω^–₀ = ℝ^{n –1} × {–1}. The solution operator to the Stokes system will be expressed with the aid of the solution operators of the Laplace resolvent equation and a Mikhlin multiplier operator acting on the boundary. The present result is the first step to establish an L^q ‐theory for the free boundary value problem studied by Beale [9] and Sylvester [22] in L ²‐spaces. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

The Banach–Saks index of rearrangement invariant spaces on [0,1]

The set of all rearrangement invariant function spaces on [0,1] having the p-Banach–Saks property has a unique maximal element for all p∈(1,2]. For p=2 this is L₂, for p∈(1,2) this is L_p,∞⁰. We compute the Banach–Saks index for the families of Lorentz spaces $\text{L}{}_{\mathrm{p,q}}\text{,}\text{1<p<∞}$, 1?q?∞, and Lorentz–Zygmund spaces L(p,α), $\text{1?p<∞,}\text{α∈}\text{R}$, extending the classical results of Banach–Saks and Kadec–Pelczynski for L_p-spaces. Our results show that the set of rearrangement invariant spaces with Banach–Saks index p∈(1,2] is not stable with respect to the real and complex interpoltaion methods.

Modulus Semigroups and Perturbation Classes for Linear Delay Equations in <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>

In this paper we study C₀-semigroups on X × L_p( − h, 0; X) associated with linear differential equations with delay, where X is a Banach space. In the case that X is a Banach lattice with order continuous norm, we describe the associated modulus semigroup, under minimal assumptions on the delay operator. Moreover, we present a new class of delay operators for which the delay equation is well-posed for p in a subinterval of [1,∞). Dedicated to the memory of H. H. Schaefer     

On the spectral representation of the elementary operator and spectral mapping theorems

LetX andY denote two complex Banach spaces and letB(Y, X) denote the algebra of all bounded linear operators fromY toX. ForA∈B(X) ⁿ ,B∈B(Y) ⁿ , the elementary operator acting onB(Y, X) is defined by . In this paper we obtain the formulae of the spectrum and the essential spectrum of Δ(A, B) by using spectral mapping theorems. Forn=1, we prove thatS _p (L _A ,R _B )=σ(A)×σ(B) and .     

Stability of the essential spectrum for 2D‐transport models with Maxwell boundary conditions

We discuss the spectral properties of collisional semigroups associated to various models from transport theory by exploiting the links between the so‐called resolvent approach and the semigroup approach. Precisely, we show that the essential spectrum of the full transport semigroup coincides with that of the collisionless transport semigroup in any L^p‐spaces (1 <p < ∞) for three 2D‐transport models with Maxwell‐boundary conditions.

Characterizations of new Cohen summing bilinear operators

We prove two characterizations of new Cohen summing bilinear operators. The first one is: Let X, Y and Z be Banach spaces, 1 < p < ∞, V : X × Y → Z a bounded linear operator and n ≥ 2 a natural number. Then V is new Cohen p-summing if and only if for all Banach spaces X₁,?…?, X_n and all p-summing operators U : X₁ × · · · × X_n → X, the operator V ? (U, I_Y) : X₁ × · · · × X_n × Y → Z is -summing. The second result is: Let H be a Hilbert space,, Y, Z Banach spaces and V : H × Y → Z a bounded bilinear operator and 1 < p < ∞. Then V is new Cohen p-summing if and only if for all Banach spaces E and all p-summing operators U : E → H, the operator V ? (U, I_Y) is (p, p*)-dominated.     

The discreteness of the spectrum of the Schrödinger operator equation and some properties of the s‐numbers of the inverse Schrödinger operator

In this article, we investigate the discreteness and some other properties of the spectrum for the Schrödinger operator L defined by the formula on the space L₂(H, [0, ∞)) , where H is a Hilbert space. For the first time, an estimate is obtained for sum of the s‐numbers of the inverse Schrödinger operator. The obtained results were applied to the Laplace's equation in an angular region.     

Spectral analysis of transport equations with bounce‐back boundary conditions

We investigate the spectral properties of the time‐dependent linear transport equation with bounce‐back boundary conditions. A fine analysis of the spectrum of the streaming operator is given and the explicit expression of the strongly continuous streaming semigroup is derived. Next, making use of a recent result from Sbihi (J. Evol. Equations 2007; 7 :689–711), we prove, via a compactness argument, that the essential spectrum of the transport semigroup and that of the streaming semigroup coincide on all L^p‐spaces with 1<p<∞. Application to the linear Boltzmann equation for granular gases is provided. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Calculus of variations and descriptive set theory

If X is a locally compact Polish space, then LSC(X, ?) denotes the compact Polish space of lower semi‐continuous real‐valued functions on X equipped with the topology of epi‐convergence. Our purpose in this article is to prove the following: if –∞ < α < β < ∞ and –∞ < a < b < ∞, while r ∈ ? \ {0}, then the set CV of all f ∈ LSC([α, β ] × [a, b ] × ?, ?) for which there is u ∈ C^r ([α, β ], [a, b ]) such that for any v ∈ C^r ([α, β ], [a, b ]) we have that ∫_α^β f (x, u (x), v ′(x))dx ≥ ∫_α^β f (x, v (x), v (x))dx is not Borel (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

G-convergence and the weak operator topology

We show that a bounded sequence (a_n)_n of symmetric d × d-matrix valued functions is G-convergent if and only if ((ι^∗︁a_nι)⁻¹ )_n converges in the weak operator topology. Here ι: R(grad₀) ↪ L²(Ω)^d denotes the (canonical) embedding from the range of the weak gradient grad₀ defined on H¹₀(Ω) into L²(Ω)_d, where Ω ⊆ ℝ^d is open and bounded.

Spectra of some block operator matrices and application to transport operators

In this paper a new concept for a 3×3 block operator matrix is studied on a Banach space. It is shown that, under certain conditions, it defines a closable operator and its essential spectra are determined. Application to transport operators in L₁-space is given.     

Spectral approximation by L 2 discretization of the Laplace operator on manifolds of bounded geometry

The author considers a discretization of the p-form Laplacian on open complete Riemannian manifolds of bounded geometry. Following Dodziuk and Patodi [8], the eigenvalues below the essential spectrum together with their eigenforms are approximated by eigenvalues and eigencochains of a semicombinatorical Laplacian acting on L ₂-cochains. We obtain a similar result for a ray which is contained in the essential spectrum. An example of a manifold of bounded geometry which admits eigenvalues below the essential spectrum is constructed.     

Algebra descent spectrum of operators

We say that a Banach space X satisfies the “descent spectrum equality” (in short, DSE) whenever, for every bounded linear operator T on X, the descent spectrum of T as an operator coincides with the descent spectrum of T as an element of the algebra of all bounded linear operators on X. We prove that the DSE is fulfilled by ℓ₁, all Hilbert spaces, and all Banach spaces which are not isomorphic to any of their proper quotients (so, in particular, by the hereditarily indecomposable Banach spaces [8]), but not by ℓ _p , for 1 < p ≤ ∞ with p ≠ 2. Actually, a Banach space is not isomorphic to any of its proper quotients if and only if it is not isomorphic to any of its proper complemented subspaces and satisfies the DSE.     

Weak continuity of Riemann integrable functions in Lebesgue-Bochner spaces

In general, Banach space-valued Riemann integrable functions defined on [0, 1] （equipped with the Lebesgue measure） need not be weakly continuous almost everywhere. A Banach space is said to have the weak Lebesgue property if every Riemann integrable function taking values in it is weakly continuous almost everywhere. In this paper we discuss this property for the Banach space LX^1 of all Bochner integrable functions from [0, 1] to the Banach space X. We show that LX^1 has the weak Lebesgue property whenever X has the Radon-Nikodym property and X＊ is separable. This generalizes the result by Chonghu Wang and Kang Wan [Rocky Mountain J. Math., 31（2）, 697-703 （2001）] that L^1[0, 1] has the weak Lebesgue property.     

Representations of lattices via neutral elements

For any neutral element a in a bounded latticeL, the mapping x→(x∧,x∨a) representsL as a subdirect product of [0, a]×[a, 1]. It is first shown that for certain neutral elements, the image ofL under this mapping is completely determined by a homomorphism of [0, a] into [a, 1]. Iterating this process, a representation ofL can be obtained as a subdirect product of the intervals [a_i, a_i+1] for any chain 0=a₀1... nn+1=1 where each a_i is such a neutral element relative to [0, a_i+1]. The image in this case is completely determined by a family of homomorphisms π_i,j:A_i →A_j(ii=[a_i, a_i+1].
