A proof of Parrott's theorem on quotient norms

We prove, as an application of our positive extension argument, a theorem of Parrott concerning the quotient norm with respect to spaces of Hilbert space operators.     

On the solution of a Schrödinger type equation by a projection-difference method with an implicit Euler scheme with respect to time

A linear nonstationary Schrödinger type problem in a separable Hilbert space is approximately solved by a projection-difference method. The problem is discretized in space by the Galerkin method using finite-dimensional subspaces of finite-element type, and an implicit Euler scheme is used with respect to time. We establish error estimates uniform with respect to the time grid for the approximate solutions; as to the spatial variables, the estimates are given in the norm of the original space as well as in the energy norm. The estimates considered here not only permit one to prove the convergence of approximate solutions to the exact solution but also give a numerical characterization of the convergence rate.     

Hilbert�CSchmidt differences of composition operators on the Bergman space

In the setting of the weighted Bergman space over the unit disk, we characterize Hilbert?CSchmidt differences of two composition operators in terms of integrability condition involving pseudohyperbolic distance between the inducing functions. We also show that a linear combination of two composition operators can be Hilbert?CSchmidt, except for trivial cases, only when it is essentially a difference. We apply our results to study the topological structure of the space of all composition operators under the Hilbert?CSchmidt norm topology. We first characterize components and then provide some sufficient conditions for isolation or for non-isolation.     

Non-Archimedean Analogues of Orthogonal and Symmetric Operators and p-adic Quantization

We study orthogonal and symmetric operators in non-Archimedean Hilbert spaces in the connection with p-adic quantization. This quantization describes measurements with finite precision. Symmetric (bounded) operators in the p-adic Hilbert spaces represent physical observables. We study spectral properties of one of the most important quantum operators, namely, the operator of the position (which is represented in the p-adic Hilbert L₂-space with respect to the p-adic Gaussian measure). Orthogonal isometric isomorphisms of p-adic Hilbert spaces preserve precisions of measurements. We study properties of orthogonal operators. It is proved that each orthogonal operator in the non-Archimedean Hilbert space is continuous. However, there exist discontinuous operators with the dense domain of definition which preserve the inner product. There also exist nonisometric orthogonal operators. We describe some classes of orthogonal isometric operators and we study some general questions of the theory of non-Archimedean Hilbert spaces (in particular, general connections between topology, norm and inner product).     

On Weak Convergence of an Iteration Process with Minimal Norm in a Hilbert Space

We show that in a Hilbert space with a measure and a minimal norm on a chosen sequence of nodes, the interpolation process converges to the interpolated polynomial operator.     

Some examples of cylindrical measure without measurable norms

We show the existence of a cylindrical measure on a Hilbert space for which no continuous norm is measurable.     

The Reproducing Kernel Thesis for Toeplitz Operators on the Paley-Wiener Space

It is known that for particular classes of operators on certain reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces, key properties of the operators (such as boundedness or compactness) may be determined by the behaviour of the operators on the reproducing kernels. We prove such results for Toeplitz operators on the Paley-Wiener space, a reproducing kernel Hilbert space over . Namely, we show that the norm of such an operator is equivalent to the supremum of the norms of the images of the normalised reproducing kernels of the space. In particular, therefore, the operator is bounded exactly when this supremum is finite. In addition, a counterexample is provided which shows that the operator norm is not equivalent to the supremum of the norms of the images of the real normalised reproducing kernels. We also give a necessary and sufficient condition for compactness of the operators, in terms of their limiting behaviour on the reproducing kernels.     

Topological and bornological characterisations of ideals in von Neumann algebras: II

SupposeM is a von Neumann algebra on a Hilbert spaceH andI is any norm closed ideal inM. We extend to this setting the well known fact that the compact operators on a Hilbert space are precisely those whose restrictions to the closed unit ball are weak to norm continuous.     

Monge–Kantorovich Norms on Spaces of Vector Measures

One considers Hilbert space valued measures on the Borel sets of a compact metric space. A natural numerical valued integral of vector valued continuous functions with respect to vector valued measures is defined. Using this integral, different norms (we called them Monge–Kantorovich norm, modified Monge–Kantorovich norm and Hanin norm) on the space of measures are introduced, generalizing the theory of (weak) convergence for probability measures on metric spaces. These norms introduce new (equivalent) metrics on the initial compact metric space.

Norm Retrievable Frames and Their Perturbation in Finite Dimensional Complex Hilbert Spaces

In this article, we study the property of norm retrievability of spanning vectors in a finite dimensional complex Hilbert space ?. Using the set of zero trace operators on ? and two sets of self-adjoint operators on ? denoted by 𝒮^1,0 and 𝒮^1,1, we present some equivalent conditions to the norm retrievable frames in ?. We will also show that the property of norm retrievability for n-dimensional complex Hilbert space ? with n≠2 is stable under enough small perturbation of the frame set only for phase retrievable frames.     

Self-adjoint extensions of commuting Hermite operators

It is proved that it is possible to commuting self-adjoint operators two formally commuting Hermite operators, one of which is self-adjoint after closure and the other has equal defect numbers. The operators act in a Hilbert space constructed from the tensor product of two Hilbert spaces by completion with respect to a norm defined by a positive definite kernel which satisfies a certain majorizability condition. The result can be applied to a problem of integral representations and extensions of positive definite kernels.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 42, No. 5, pp. 695–697, May, 1990.     

Bifurcation from the essential spectrum for some non-compact non-linearities

Conditions ensuring bifurcation from the infimum of the essential spectrum are given. The main result concerns non-linear eigenvalue problems with variational structure in a Hilbert space. It extends previous results of a similar nature by admitting situations where the non-linearity is not compact with respect to the graph norm of the linearization. The general result is applied to non-linear elliptic equations on R^N.     

Asymptotics of small deviations of the Bogoliubov processes with respect to a quadratic norm

We obtain results on small deviations of Bogoliubov’s Gaussian measure occurring in the theory of the statistical equilibrium of quantum systems. For some random processes related to Bogoliubov processes, we find the exact asymptotic probability of their small deviations with respect to a Hilbert norm.     

Products of orthogonal projections

We give a characterization of operators on a separable Hilbert space of norm less than one that can be represented as products of orthogonal projections and give an estimate on the number of factors. We also describe the norm closure of the set of all products of orthogonal projections.

     

Transitivity of the norm on Banach spaces¶ having a Jordan structure

We study transitivity conditions on the norm of JB ^*-triples, C ^*-algebras, JB-algebras, and their preduals. We show that, for the predual X of a JBW ^*-triple, each one of the following conditions i) and ii) implies that X is a Hilbert space. i) The closed unit ball of X has some extreme point and the norm of X is convex transitive. ii) The set of all extreme points of the closed unit ball of X is non rare in the unit sphere of X. These results are applied to obtain partial affirmative answers to the open problem whether every JB ^*-triple with transitive norm is a Hilbert space. We extend to arbitrary C ^*-algebras previously known characterizations of transitivity [20] and convex transitivity [36] of the norm on commutative C ^*-algebras. Moreover, we prove that the Calkin algebra has convex transitive norm. We also prove that, if X is a JB-algebra, and if either the norm of X is convex transitive or X has a predual with convex transitive norm, then X is associative. As a consequence, a JB-algebra with almost transitive norm is isomorphic to the field of real numbers. Received: 9 June 1999 / Revised version: 20 February 2000     

Inequalities for characteristic functions of multidimensional distributions

We obtain lower and upper bounds for the absolute values of characteristic functions of multivariate distributions F and also derive a lower bound on the norm of the zeroes of a characteristic function in terms of moments of the norm of the random vector with distribution F. Similar results are obtained for characteristic functions of probability measures on a separable Hilbert space.     

Stabilities of Hilbert space contraction semigroups revisited

A necessary and sufficient condition for exponential stability of Hilbert space contraction semigroups is obtained in terms of an inequality involving the dissipative norm associated with the generator of the semigroup and with the Hilbert space norm.     

Learning Theory Estimates via Integral Operators and Their Approximations

The regression problem in learning theory is investigated with least square Tikhonov regularization schemes in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHS). We follow our previous work and apply the sampling operator to the error analysis in both the RKHS norm and the L² norm. The tool for estimating the sample error is a Bennet inequality for random variables with values in Hilbert spaces. By taking the Hilbert space to be the one consisting of Hilbert-Schmidt operators in the RKHS, we improve the error bounds in the L² metric, motivated by an idea of Caponnetto and de Vito. The error bounds we derive in the RKHS norm, together with a Tsybakov function we discuss here, yield interesting applications to the error analysis of the (binary) classification problem, since the RKHS metric controls the one for the uniform convergence.
