We consider a multiply connected domain where denotes the unit disk and denotes the closed disk centered at with radius r _j for j = 1, . . . , n. We show that if T is a bounded linear operator on a Banach space X whose spectrum contains ∂Ω and does not contain the points λ₁, λ₂, . . . , λ _n , and the operators T and r _j (T − λ _j I)⁻¹ are polynomially bounded, then there exists a nontrivial common invariant subspace for T ^* and (T − λ _j I)^*-1.

Some properties of essential spectra of a positive operator, II

Let T be a positive operator on a Banach lattice E. Some properties of Weyl essential spectrum σ_ew(T), in particular, the equality , where is the set of all compact operators on E, are established. If r(T) does not belong to Fredholm essential spectrum σ_ef(T), then for every a ≠ 0, where T₋₁ is a residue of the resolvent R(., T) at r(T). The new conditions for which implies , are derived. The question when the relation holds, where is Lozanovsky’s essential spectrum, will be considered. Lozanovsky’s order essential spectrum is introduced. A number of auxiliary results are proved. Among them the following generalization of Nikol’sky’s theorem: if T is an operator of index zero, then T = R + K, where R is invertible, K ≥ 0 is of finite rank. Under the natural assumptions (one of them is ) a theorem about the Frobenius normal form is proved: there exist T-invariant bands such that if , where , then an operator on D_i is band irreducible.      

Virtual Eigenvalues of the High Order Schrödinger Operator II

We consider the Schr?dinger operator H_γ = ( − Δ)^l + γ V(x)· acting in the space where 2l ≥ d, V (x) ≥ 0, V (x) is continuous and is not identically zero, and We study the asymptotic behavior as of the non-bottom negative eigenvalues of H_γ, which are born at the moment γ = 0 from the lower bound λ = 0 of the spectrum σ(H₀) of the unperturbed operator H₀ = ( − Δ)^l (virtual eigenvalues). To this end we use the Puiseux-Newton diagram for a power expansion of eigenvalues of some class of polynomial matrix functions. For the groups of virtual eigenvalues, having the same rate of decay, we obtain asymptotic estimates of Lieb-Thirring type.     

Virtual Eigenvalues of the High Order Schrödinger Operator I

We consider the Schr?dinger operator H_γ = ( − Δ)^l + γ V(x)· acting in the space $$L_2 (\mathbb{R}^d ),$$ where 2l ≥ d, V (x) ≥ 0, V (x) is continuous and is not identically zero, and $$\lim _{|{\mathbf{x}}| \to \infty } V({\mathbf{x}}) = 0.$$ We obtain an asymptotic expansion as $$\gamma \uparrow 0$$of the bottom negative eigenvalue of H_γ, which is born at the moment γ = 0 from the lower bound λ = 0 of the spectrum σ(H₀) of the unperturbed operator H₀ = ( − Δ)^l (a virtual eigenvalue). To this end we develop a supplement to the Birman-Schwinger theory on the process of the birth of eigenvalues in the gap of the spectrum of the unperturbed operator H₀. Furthermore, we extract a finite-rank portion Φ(λ) from the Birman- Schwinger operator $$X_V (\lambda ) = V^{\frac{1} {2}} R_\lambda (H_0 )V^{\frac{1}{2}} ,$$ which yields the leading terms for the desired asymptotic expansion.     

Upper Triangular Operator Matrices, SVEP and Browder, Weyl Theorems

A Banach space operator T ∈ B(χ) is polaroid if points λ ∈ iso σ(T) are poles of the resolvent of T. Let denote, respectively, the approximate point, the Weyl, the Weyl essential approximate, the upper semi–Fredholm and lower semi–Fredholm spectrum of T. For A, B and C ∈ B(χ), let M _C denote the operator matrix . If A is polaroid on , M ₀ satisfies Weyl’s theorem, and A and B satisfy either of the hypotheses (i) A has SVEP at points and B has SVEP at points , or, (ii) both A and A* have SVEP at points , or, (iii) A^* has SVEP at points and B ^* has SVEP at points , then . Here the hypothesis that λ ∈ π₀(M _C ) are poles of the resolvent of A can not be replaced by the hypothesis are poles of the resolvent of A. For an operator , let . We prove that if A* and B* have SVEP, A is polaroid on π ^a ₀(M _C) and B is polaroid on π ^a ₀(B), then .      

Riesz Idempotent and Weyl’s Theorem for w-hyponormal Operators

Let T be a w-hyponormal operator on a Hilbert space H, its Aluthge transform, λ an isolated point of the spectrum of T, and E_λ and the Riesz idempotents, with respect to λ, of T and respectively. It is shown that Consequently, E_λ is self-adjoint, and if λ ≠ 0. Moreover, it is shown that Weyl’s theorem holds for f(T), where f ∈ H(σ (T)).     

λ-Aluthge Iteration and Spectral Radius

Let (H) be an invertible operator on the complex Hilbert space H. For 0 < λ < 1, we extend Yamazaki’s formula of the spectral radius in terms of the λ-Aluthge transform where T = U|T| is the polar decomposition of T. Namely, we prove that where r(T) is the spectral radius of T and ||| · ||| is a unitarily invariant norm such that (B(H), ||| · |||) is a Banach algebra with ||| I ||| = 1.

Strongly approximative similarity of operators

Two operators A, B ∈ B（H） are said to be strongly approximatively similar, denoted by A -sas B, if （i） given ε 〉 0, there exist Ki ∈ B（H） compact with ｜｜Ki｜｜ 〈ε（i = 1,2） such that A＋K1 and B ＋ K2 are similar; （ii） σ0（A） = σ0（B） and dim H（λ; A） = dim H（λ; B） for each λ ∈ σ0（A）. In this paper, we prove the following result. Let S,T ∈ B（H） be quasitriangular satisfying： （i） σ（T） = σ（S） = σw（S） is connected and σe（S） = σlre（S）; （ii） ρs-F（S） ∩ σ（S） consists of at most finite components and each component Ω satisfies that Ω = int Ω, where int Ω is the interior of Ω. Then, S -sas T if and only if S and T are essentially similar.     

Potential Analysis on Carnot Groups，Part II：Relationship between Hausdorff Measures and Capacities

Abstract In this paper, we establish the relationship between Hausdorff measures and Bessel capacities on any nilpotent stratified Lie group (i. e., Carnot group). In particular, as a special corollary of our much more general results, we have the following theorem (see Theorems A and E in Section 1): Let Q be the homogeneous dimension of . Given any set E ⊂ , B _α,p (E) = 0 implies ℋ ^{Q−αp+ ε}(E) = 0 for all ε > 0. On the other hand, ℋ ^Q−αp (E) < ∞ implies B _α,p (E) = 0. Consequently, given any set E ⊂ of Hausdorff dimension Q − d, where 0 < d < Q, B _α,p (E) = 0 holds if and only if αp ≤ d. A version of O. Frostman’s theorem concerning Hausdorff measures on any homogeneous space is also established using the dyadic decomposition on such a space (see Theorem 4.4 in Section 4).

Norms of Moore-Penrose Inverses of Fredholm Toeplitz Operators

In this paper we estimate the norm of the Moore-Penrose inverse T(a)⁺ of a Fredholm Toeplitz operator T(a) with a matrix-valued symbol a∈L_{N × N}^∞ defined on the complex unit circle. In particular, we show that in the ”generic case” the strict inequality ||T(a)⁺|| > ||a⁻¹||_∞ holds. Moreover, we discuss the asymptotic behavior of ||T(t^ra)⁺|| for . The results are illustrated by numerical experiments.     

Euler operator and homogeneous hida distributions

Let (S)⊄L ²(S′(∔),μ)⊄(S)^* be the Gel'fand triple over the white noise space (S′(∔),μ). Let (e _n ,n>-0) be the ONB ofL ²(∔) consisting of the eigenfunctions of the s.a. operator . In this paper the Euler operator Δ _E is defined as the sum , where ∂ _i stands for the differential operatorD _{e i}. It is shown that Δ _E is the infinitesimal generator of the semigroup (T _t ), where (T _t ϕ)(x)=ϕ(e ^t x) for ϕ∈(S). Similarly to the finite dimensional case, the λ-order homogeneous test functionals are characterized by the Euler equation: Δ _Eϕ =λ_ϕ. Via this characterization the λ-order homogeneous Hida distributions are defined and their properties are worked out. Supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.     

On Stabilized Point Spectra of Multivalued Systems

Let H be an infinite dimensional Hilbert space. Denote by Λ (E, F) the set of all for which the multivalued system 0 ∈ (F − λ E) (x) admits a nonzero solution x ∈ H. One says that Λ (E, F) is the point spectrum of the pair (E, F). It is well known that Λ (E, F) does not behave in a stable manner with respect to perturbations in the argument (E, F). The purpose of this note is to study the outer-semicontinuous hull (or graph-closure) of the mapping Λ.     

Directional derivatives for the value-function in semi-infinite programming

For the problemP(λ): Maximizec ^T z subject toz∈Z(λ), whereZ(λ) is defined by an in general infinite set of linear inequalities, it is shown that the value-function has directional derivatives at every point such thatP( ) and its dual are both superconsistent. To compute these directional derivatives a min-max-formula, well-known in convex programming, is derived. In addition, it is shown that derivatives can be obtained more easily by a limit-process using only convergent selections of solutions ofP(λ _n ), λ _n → and their duals.     

Some Notes on Signed Edge Domination in Graphs

The closed neighborhood N_G[e] of an edge e in a graph G is the set consisting of e and of all edges having an end-vertex in common with e. Let f be a function on E(G), the edge set of G, into the set {−1, 1}. If for each e ∈ E(G), then f is called a signed edge dominating function of G. The signed edge domination number γ_s^′(G) of G is defined as . Recently, Xu proved that γ_s^′(G) ≥ |V(G)| − |E(G)| for all graphs G without isolated vertices. In this paper we first characterize all simple connected graphs G for which γ_s^′(G) = |V(G)| − |E(G)|. This answers Problem 4.2 of [4]. Then we classify all simple connected graphs G with precisely k cycles and γ_s^′(G) = 1 − k, 2 − k. A. Khodkar: Research supported by a Faculty Research Grant, University of West Georgia.

Semisimplicity of Some Class of Operator Algebras on Banach Space

Let G be a locally compact abelian group and let be a representation of G by means of isometries on a Banach space. We define W_T as the closure with respect to the weak operator topology of the set where is the Fourier transform of f ∈L¹(G) with respect to the group T. Then W_T is a commutative Banach algebra. In this paper we study semisimlicity problem for such algebras. The main result is that if the Arveson spectrum sp(T) of T is scattered (i.e. it does not contain a nonempty perfect subset) then the algebra W_T is semisimple. Some related problems are also discussed.

On the zeros of a class of generalised Dirichlet series-XIV

We prove a general theorem on the zeros of a class of generalised Dirichlet series. We quote the following results as samples. Theorem A.Let 0<θ<1/2and let {a _n }be a sequence of complex numbers satisfying the inequality for N = 1,2,3,…,also for n = 1,2,3,…let α _n be real and |α_n| ≤ C(θ)where C(θ) > 0is a certain (small)constant depending only on θ. Then the number of zeros of the function in the rectangle (1/2-δ⩽σ⩽1/2+δ,T⩽t⩽2T) (where 0<δ<1/2)is ≥C(θ,δ)T logT where C(θ,δ)is a positive constant independent of T provided T ≥T ₀(θ,δ)a large positive constant. Theorem B.In the above theorem we can relax the condition on a _n to and |a_N| ≤ (1/2-θ)^-1.Then the lower bound for the number of zeros in (σ⩾1/3−δ,T⩽t⩽2T)is > C(θ,δ) Tlog T(log logT)^-1.The upper bound for the number of zeros in σ⩾1/3+δ,T⩽t⩽2T) isO(T)provided for every ε > 0.
