Reproducing kernels, de Branges-Rovnyak spaces, and norms of weighted composition operators

We prove that the norm of a weighted composition operator on the Hardy space of the disk is controlled by the norm of the weight function in the de Branges-Rovnyak space associated to the symbol of the composition operator. As a corollary we obtain a new proof of the boundedness of composition operators on and recover the standard upper bound for the norm. Similar arguments apply to weighted Bergman spaces. We also show that the positivity of a generalized de Branges-Rovnyak kernel is sufficient for the boundedness of a given composition operator on the standard function spaces on the unit ball.

     

An Extended Faber Operator

   Abstract. One of the basic tools in the theory of polynomial approximation in the uniform norm on compact plane sets is the Faber operator. Usually, the Faber operator is viewed as an operator acting on functions in the disk algebra, that is, functions which are holomorphic in the open unit disk D and continuous on D. We consider an extended Faber operator acting on arbitrary functions continuous on ; D.     

Weighted differentiation composition operator from logarithmic Bloch spaces to Bloch‐type spaces

In this paper, we give a new characterization for the boundedness of weighted differentiation composition operator from logarithmic Bloch spaces to Bloch‐type spaces and calculate its essential norm in terms of the n‐th power of induced analytic self‐map on the unit disk. From which a sufficient and necessary condition of compactness of this operator follows immediately.     

Generalized Essential Norm of Weighted Composition Operators on some Uniform Algebras of Analytic Functions

We compute the essential norm of a composition operator relatively to the class of Dunford-Pettis operators or weakly compact operators, on some uniform algebras of analytic functions. Even in the context of H^∞ (resp. the disk algebra), this is new, as well for the polydisk algebras and the polyball algebras. This is a consequence of a general study of weighted composition operators.      

Weighted Composition Operators from the Bloch Space to Weighted Banach Spaces on Bounded Homogeneous Domains

We study the bounded and the compact weighted composition operators from the Bloch space into the weighted Banach spaces of holomorphic functions on bounded homogeneous domains, with particular attention to the unit polydisk. For bounded homogeneous domains, we characterize the bounded weighted composition operators and determine the operator norm. In addition, we provide sufficient conditions for compactness. For the unit polydisk, we completely characterize the compact weighted composition operators, as well as provide ＂computable＂ estimates on the operator norm.     

Linear relations in the Calkin algebra for composition operators

We consider this and related questions: When is a finite linear combination of composition operators, acting on the Hardy space or the standard weighted Bergman spaces on the unit disk, a compact operator?

     

Approximating composition operator norms on the Dirichlet space

Let φ be any univalent self-map of the unit disk D whose image Ω≡φ(D) is compactly contained in D. We provide a method for approximating the norm of the composition operator Cφ on the Dirichlet space to any desired degree of accuracy. The approximation uses a special basis which is orthogonal in both the Bergman space on the disk and the Bergman space on Ω.     

A characterization of uniform continuity for Volterra equations in Hilbert spaces

We show that the norm continuity of the resolvent for a Volterra equation of scalar type is equivalent to the decay to zero of a holomorphic operator family along some imaginary axis.

     

Weighted Composition Operators on H 2 and Applications

Operators on function spaces acting by composition to the right with a fixed selfmap φ of some set are called composition operators of symbol φ. A weighted composition operator is an operator equal to a composition operator followed by a multiplication operator. We summarize the basic properties of bounded and compact weighted composition operators on the Hilbert Hardy space on the open unit disk and use them to study composition operators on Hardy–Smirnov spaces.

A continuity theorem for Stinespring's dilation

We show a continuity theorem for Stinespring's dilation: two completely positive maps between arbitrary C^∗-algebras are close in cb-norm if and only if we can find corresponding dilations that are close in operator norm. The proof establishes the equivalence of the cb-norm distance and the Bures distance for completely positive maps. We briefly discuss applications to quantum information theory.     

Boundedness from below of composition operators on the Bloch spaces

This paper proves that a necessary condition for a composition operator on the Bloch space of the unit disk to be bounded below given by Ghatage, Yan and Zheng is also sufficient. Given furthermore are a sufficient condition and a necessary condition of the boundedness from below for a composition operator on the Bloch space of a unit ball with dimensions bigger than one.     

Essential norm of products of multiplication composition and differentiation operators on weighted Bergman spaces

Let ψ be a holomorphic function on the open unit disk D and φ a holomorphic self-map of D. Let C_φ,M_ψ and D denote the composition, multiplication and differentiation operator, respectively. We find an asymptotic expression for the essential norm of products of these operators on weighted Bergman spaces on the unit disk. This paper is a continuation of our recent paper concerning the boundedness of these operators on weighted Bergman spaces.

Difference of composition operators between standard weighted Bergman spaces

We obtain estimates for the norm and essential norm of the difference of two composition operators between certain Bergman spaces. In particular, a necessary and sufficient condition for boundedness and compactness of the operator is established. Finally, we give a sufficient condition for boundedness and compactness of the difference operator between Hardy spaces.     

Weighted Composition Operators on the Space of Bounded Harmonic Functions

We determine the norm and the essential norm of the difference of weighted composition operators on the space of bounded harmonic functions on the open unit disk. The argument is done on the boundary.     

Weighted Composition Operators between Different Hardy Spaces

Let and be two analytic functions defined on such that. The operator given by is called a weighted composition operator. In this paper we deal with the boundedness, compactness, weak compactness, and complete continuity of weighted composition operators from a Hardy space H _p into another Hardy space H _q . We apply these results to study composition operators on Hardy spaces of a half-plane. Submitted: November 20, 2001.     

Multiplication Operators on Invariant Subspaces of Function Spaces

Let M_φ be the operator of multiplication by φ on a Hilbert space of functions analytic on the open unit disk. For an invariant subspace F for the multiplication operator M_z, we derive some spectral properties of the multiplication operator M_φ : F → F. We characterize norm, spectrum, essential norm and essential spectrum of such operators when F has the codimension n property with n ∈ {1, 2, …, + ∞}.     

Hypercyclic property of weighted composition operators

In the present paper we investigate conditions under which a holomorphic self-map of the open unit disk induces a hypercyclic weighted composition operator in the space of holomorphic functions.

     

Exponential Time Differencing-Padé Finite Element Method for Nonlinear Convection-Diffusion-Reaction Equations with Time Constant Delay

In this paper, ETD3-Padé and ETD4-Padé Galerkin finite element methods are proposed and analyzed for nonlinear delayed convection-diffusion-reaction equations with Dirichlet boundary conditions. An ETD-based RK is used for time integration of the corresponding equation. To overcome a well-known difficulty of numerical instability associated with the computation of the exponential operator, the Padé approach is used for such an exponential operator approximation, which in turn leads to the corresponding ETD-Padé schemes. An unconditional $L^2$ numerical stability is proved for the proposed numerical schemes, under a global Lipshitz continuity assumption. In addition, optimal rate error estimates are provided, which gives the convergence order of $O(k^{3}+h^{r})$ (ETD3-Padé) or $O(k^{4}+h^{r})$ (ETD4-Padé) in the $L^2$ norm, respectively. Numerical experiments are presented to demonstrate the robustness of the proposed numerical schemes.
