Representation theorem for locally defined operators in the space of Whitney differentiable functions

Under the assumption that is perfect, a representation theorem for locally defined operators mapping the space C ^m (A) of Whitney differentiable functions into C ¹(A) is given and an open problem is presented.     

Locally defined operators in Hölder’s spaces

We prove that every local operator acting between two Hölder spaces H_? and H_ψ is a Nemytskij operator and if H_??H_ψ then it is a constant map. Moreover, we show that if K is local and uniformly continuous then it is an affine mapping.     

Locally defined operators and a partial solution of a conjecture

We prove a weaker form of conjecture concerning the representation theorem for locally defined operators acting between some spaces of differentiable functions presented by K. Lichawski, J. Matkowski and J. Mi? [K. Lichawski, J. Matkowski, J. Mi?, Locally defined operators in the space of differentiable functions, Bull. Polish Acad. Sci. Math. 37 (1989) 315-325].As a corollary we obtain the representation formula for continuous locally defined operators mapping the Banach space C^m(A) into C^k(A), for k≥2 where C^m(A) is the space of m-times Whitney continuously differentiable functions on a perfect set .     

Toeplitz operators defined by sesquilinear forms: Fock space case

The classical theory of Toeplitz operators in spaces of analytic functions deals usually with symbols that are bounded measurable functions on the domain in question. A further extension of the theory was made for symbols being unbounded functions, measures, and compactly supported distributions, all of them subject to some restrictions.     

Ranges of densely defined generalized pseudomonotone perturbations of maximal monotone operators

Let X be a real reflexive Banach space and be maximal monotone. Let be quasibounded, finitely continuous and generalized pseudomonotone with X′⊂D(B), where X′ is a dense subspace of X such that X′∩D(A)≠∅. Let S⊂X∗. Conditions are given under which and intS⊂intR(A+B). Results of Browder concerning everywhere defined continuous and bounded operators B are improved. Extensions of this theory are also given using the degree theory of the last two authors concerning densely defined perturbations of nonlinear maximal monotone operators which satisfy a generalized (S₊)-condition. Applications of this extended theory are given involving nonlinear parabolic problems on cylindrical domains.     

Dixmier trace and the Fock space

We give criteria for products of Toeplitz and Hankel operators on the Fock (Segal–Bargmann) space to belong to the Dixmier class, and compute their Dixmier trace. Along the road, analogous results for the Weyl pseudodifferential operators are also obtained.     

On the connected component of compact composition operators on the Hardy space

We show that there exist non-compact composition operators in the connected component of the compact ones on the classical Hardy space H². This answers a question posed by Shapiro and Sundberg in 1990. We also establish an improved version of a theorem of MacCluer, giving a lower bound for the essential norm of a difference of composition operators in terms of the angular derivatives of their symbols. As a main tool we use Aleksandrov-Clark measures.     

Spectral set functions and scalar operators

A systematic study is made of continuous linear operators approximable (in certain topologies) by linear combinations of projections from the range of a spectral set function. Such operators may be viewed as natural analogues of the scalar-type spectral operators introduced by N. Dunford. We extend the classical theory so that the range of the spectral set function, necessarily a Boolean algebra of continuous projection operators, need not be uniformly bounded; it is this feature which gives the theory its wider range of applicability. Typically, the associated operational calculus, which is specified via a suitable integration process, is no longer related to a continuous homomorphism but merely to a certain kind of sequentially closed homomorphism.     

Strong convergence studied by a hybrid type method for monotone operators in a Banach space

In this paper, we study a strong convergence for monotone operators. We first introduce the hybrid type algorithm for monotone operators. Next, we obtain a strong convergence theorem (Theorem 3.3) for finding a zero point of an inverse-strongly monotone operator in a Banach space. Finally, we apply our convergence theorem to the problem of finding a minimizer of a convex function.     

Strongly omnipresent integral operators

An operatorT on the spaceH(G) of holomorphic functions on a domainG is strongly omnipresent whenever there is a residual set of functionsfH(G) such thatT f exhibits an extremely wild behaviour near the boundary. The concept of strong omnipresence was recently introduced by the first two authors. In this paper it is proved that a large class of integral operators including Volterra operators with or without a perturbation by differential operators has this property, completing earlier work about differential and antidifferential operators.The work of the first two authors has been partially supported by DGES grant PB96-1348 and the Junta de Andalucía.     

On the norm and the essential norm of weighted composition operators acting on the weighted Banach space of analytic functions

The objective of this paper is to use known properties of the associated weight to give new estimations of the norm and essential norm of the weighted com- position operators acting between weighted Banach spaces of analytic functions, in terms of composition with certain special functions in these spaces. As a consequence of our results, we obtain genuine extensions of a large number of recent results, and in particular, we extend classical results due to Montes-Rodríguez and Contreras and Hernández-Díaz.     

Continuity, compactness, and degree theory for operators in systems involving p-Laplacians and inclusions

The study of weak solutions for systems of nonlinear partial differential equations of elliptic type with inclusions leads to a multivalued operator of superposition type in Sobolev spaces. We show that, under natural assumptions, this operator has the properties which allow to apply degree theory (fixed point index) for multivalued maps. More precisely, this operator is upper semicontinuous and compact with nonempty convex compact values. For the particular case of systems involving p-Laplacians, we show that there is a homeomorphism transforming the whole system to a situation for which a fixed point index is available.     

A spectral radius type formula for approximation numbers of composition operators

For approximation numbers _an(_Cφ)$a_n(C_{\phi })$ of composition operators _Cφ$C_{\phi }$ on weighted analytic Hilbert spaces, including the Hardy, Bergman and Dirichlet cases, with symbol φ   of uniform norm <1, we prove that _limn→∞?[_an(_Cφ)]^1/n=e^{−1/Cap[φ(D)]}${\lim }_{n\to \infty }?{[a_n(C_{\phi })]}^{1/n}={\mathrm{e}}^{-1/\mathrm{Cap}[\phi (\mathbb{D})]}$, where Cap[φ(D)]$\mathrm{Cap}[\phi (\mathbb{D})]$ is the Green capacity of φ(D)$\phi (\mathbb{D})$ in D$\mathbb{D}$. This formula holds also for H^p$H^p$ with 1≤p<∞$1\le p<\infty$.     

Inequalities for sums and direct sums of Hilbert space operators

We prove several singular value inequalities and norm inequalities involving sums and direct sums of Hilbert space operators. It is shown, among other inequalities, that if X and Y are compact operators, then the singular values of are dominated by those of X ⊕ Y. Applications of these inequalities are also given.     

A class of concave operators with applications

In this paper we provide some properties of a class of concave operators and apply these results in discussing three-point boundary value problems for differential equations and nonlinear Volterra integral equations.     

Essential norms of integral operators on spaces of analytic functions

This note aims at investigating the essential norms of integral operators on Banach spaces of analytic functions. We study the essential norm of _Ig$I_g$ on some classical Banach spaces (the Bloch space, BMOA$BMOA$ and the Dirichlet space). The essential norms of the Volterra type operator _Tg$T_g$ on the Bloch space are given by the distance from the logarithmic Bloch function to the little logarithmic Bloch space. The essential norms of the little Hankel operator are also investigated.     

Existence and uniqueness of fixed points for mixed monotone operators with applications

In this paper, we study the uniqueness and existence of fixed points of mixed monotone operators in the partially ordered Banach space. Our conclusions essentially improve the relevant results obtained by Liang and others. Moreover, as an application of our results, we prove the existence and uniqueness of a positive solution for a class of integral equations which cannot be solved by using previously available methods.
