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.     

On the essential spectra of coupled operators matrix and application

We define an abstract setting to treat essential spectra of unbounded coupled operator matrix. We prove a well‐posedness result and develop a spectral theory which also allows us to prove an amelioration to many earlier works. We point out that a concrete example from integro‐differential equation fit into this abstract framework involving a general class of regular operator in L₁ spaces.     

Symmetric family of Fredholm operators of indices zero, stability of essential spectra and application to transport operators

In this paper, we prove that, if the product A=A₁?An is a Fredholm operator where the ascent and descent of A are finite, then Aj is a Fredholm operator of index zero for all j, 1?j?n, where A₁,…,An be a symmetric family of bounded operators. Next, we investigate a useful stability result for the Rako?evi?/Schmoeger essential spectra. Moreover, we show that some components of the Fredholm domains of bounded linear operators on a Banach space remain invariant under additive perturbations belonging to broad classes of operators A such as γ(Am)<1 where γ(⋅) is a measure of noncompactness. We also discuss the impact of these results on the behavior of the Rako?evi?/Schmoeger essential spectra. Further, we apply these latter results to investigate the Rako?evi?/Schmoeger essential spectra for singular neutron transport equations in bounded geometries.

Fredholm perturbation theory and some essential spectra in Banach algebra with respect to subalgebra

The aim of this paper is to enlarge some known results from Fredholm and perturbation theory in the Banach algebra of bounded operators on a Banach space to the Fredholm theory in Banach algebra with respect to a subalgebra. The obtained results allow us to characterize the stability of some essential spectra with respect to a subalgebra.

On graph measures in banach spaces and description of essential spectra of multidimensional transport equation

In this paper, we define new measures called respectively graph measure of noncompactness and graph measure of weak noncompactness. Moreover, we apply the obtained results to discuss the incidence of some perturbation results realized in [2] on the behavior of essential spectra of such closed densely defined linear operators on Banach spaces. These results are exploited to investigate the essential spectra of a multidimensional neutron transport operator on L₁ spaces.

Some remarks on essential self‐adjointness and ultracontractivity of a class of singular elliptic operators

We study the properties of essential self‐adjointness on C^∞_c (ℝ^N ) and semigroup ultracontractivity of a class of singular second order elliptic operators defined in L² (ℝ^N , σ^{–a –N} (x) dx) with Dirichlet boundary conditions, where a, b ∈ ℝ and σ: ℝ^N → (0, ∞) is a C^∞‐function satisfying c^‐1(1 + |x |) ≤ σ (x) ≤ c (1 + |x |) (x ∈ ℝN). We also obtain sharp short time upper and lower diagonal bounds on the heat kernel of e –^Ht. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

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.     

On transport equations driven by a non‐divergence‐free force field

The paper is devoted to initial boundary value problems for transport equations with non‐divergence‐free external field. The crucial role is played by integration along characteristics and associated Green's formula for which we provide a new proof which generalizes and clarifies previous versions. The paper concludes with an application of general theory to the Spencer–Lewis equation. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Browder spectra and essential spectra of operator matrices

Let Mc = （ A0CB ） be a 2 × 2 upper triangular operator matrix acting on the Banach space X × Y. We prove that
σr（A） ∪ σr（ B）= σr （Mc） ∪ W ,
where W is the union of certain of the holes in σr（Mc） which happen to be subsets of σr（A） ∩ σr（B）, and σr（A）, σr（B）, σr（Mc） can be equal to the Browder or essential spectra of A, B, Mc, respectively. We also show that the above result isn＇t true for the Kato spectrum, left （right） essential spectrum and left （right） spectrum.
