-Operator frames for a Banach space

In this paper, (p,Y)-Bessel operator sequences, operator frames and (p,Y)-Riesz bases for a Banach space X are introduced and discussed as generalizations of the usual concepts for a Hilbert space and of the g-frames. It is proved that the set of all (p,Y)-Bessel operator sequences for a Banach space X is a Banach space and isometrically isomorphic to the operator space B(X,ℓ^p(Y)). Some necessary and sufficient conditions for a sequence of operators to be a (p,Y)-Bessel operator sequence are given. Also, a characterization of an independent (p,Y)-operator frame for X is obtained. Lastly, it is shown that an independent (p,Y)-operator frame for X is just a (p,Y)-Riesz basis for X and has a unique dual (q,Y^*)-operator frame for X^*.     

Common hypercyclic vectors for the conjugate class of a hypercyclic operator

Given a separable, infinite dimensional Hilbert space, it was recently shown by the authors that there is a path of chaotic operators, which is dense in the operator algebra with the strong operator topology, and along which every operator has the exact same dense Gδ set of hypercyclic vectors. In the present work, we show that the conjugate set of any hypercyclic operator on a separable, infinite dimensional Banach space always contains a path of operators which is dense with the strong operator topology, and yet the set of common hypercyclic vectors for the entire path is a dense Gδ set. As a corollary, the hypercyclic operators on such a Banach space form a connected subset of the operator algebra with the strong operator topology.     

Transference principles for semigroups and a theorem of Peller

A general approach to transference principles for discrete and continuous operator (semi)groups is described. This allows one to recover the classical transference results of Calderón, Coifman and Weiss and of Berkson, Gillespie and Muhly and the more recent one of the author. The method is applied to derive a new transference principle for (discrete and continuous) operator semigroups that need not be groups. As an application, functional calculus estimates for bounded operators with at most polynomially growing powers are derived, leading to a new proof of classical results by Peller from 1982. The method allows for a generalization of his results away from Hilbert spaces to Lp-spaces and—involving the concept of γ-boundedness—to general Banach spaces. Analogous results for strongly-continuous one-parameter (semi)groups are presented as well. Finally, an application is given to singular integrals for one-parameter semigroups.     

Stability analysis of a new kind n-unit series repairable system

In this paper, we deal with a new model of an n-unit series repairable system, in which a concept of a repairman with multiple-delayed vacation is introduced and the impact on the system reliability due to a replaceable facility is also considered. This paper is devoted to studying the unique existence and stability of the system solution. C₀-semigroup theory is used to prove the existence of a unique nonnegative time-dependent solution of the system. Then by analyzing the spectra distribution of the system operator, we prove that the dynamic solution of the system asymptotically converges to the nonnegative steady-state solution which is the eigenfunction corresponding to eigenvalue 0 of the system operator. Furthermore, we discuss the exponential stability of the system in a special case. Some reliability indices of the system are also studied and the optimal vacation time is analyzed at the end of the paper.     

On the similarity of a <Emphasis Type="Italic">J</Emphasis>-nonnegative Sturm-Liouville operator to a self-adjoint operator

In terms of Weyl-Titchmarsh m-functions, we obtain a new necessary condition for an indefinite Sturm-Liouville operator to be similar to a self-adjoint operator. This condition is used to construct examples of J-nonnegative Sturm-Liouville operators with singular critical point zero.     

Systems of linear differential equations symmetric with respect to transformations nonlinear in a function

We show that if a system of first order linear differential equations with constant coefficients admits an operator whose coordinates responsible for the transformation of independent variables depend on functions then it admits an operator whose coordinates responsible for the transformation of functions depend nonlinearly on functions.     

Projection-Iterative Methods for a Class of Difference Equations

We develop a theoretical framework for projection-iterative methods to solve operator equations of the form Au + Bu = f, where A is a Toeplitz operator in a Banach space , B is considered as a perturbation (of general form) of A, and f is a given element in this space. The methods are adopted for application to general situations, in particular, to the equations in which A need not be a Fredholm operator. The idea to involve iteration procedures and the technique which we apply allow to obtain conditions on perturbations for convergence and effective error estimates in terms of some weighted spaces (without any restrictions on the norms for perturbations). Based on established evaluations we derive further information about decaying properties of the solutions. The obtained results are illustrated by considering concrete classes of equations as, for instance, equations corresponding to Jacobi type operators.      

Feedback operator for a pseudoparabolic optimal control problem

The feedback operator of a linear pseudoparabolic problem with quadratic criterion is obtained by decoupling of the optimality condition. The feedback operator is shown to be related to the solution of a Riccati equation formulated in theB*-algebra of bounded linear operators onL ²(). This approach shows that the linear feedback operator may be considered as a bounded operator fromL ²() intoH ₀ ¹ (). Finally, we give a theorem establishing the convergence behavior for the feedback operators for these problems as they formally approach an analogous problem of parabolic type.This work was supported in part by the National Science Foundation, Grant No. MCS-7902037.     

Noncommutative Grassmannian <Emphasis Type="Italic">U</Emphasis>(1) sigma model and a Bargmann-Fock space

We consider a Grassmannian version of the noncommutative U(1) sigma model specified by the energy functional E(P) = ‖[a, P]‖ _HS ² , where P is an orthogonal projection operator in a Hilbert space H and a: H → H is the standard annihilation operator. With H realized as a Bargmann-Fock space, we describe all solutions with a one-dimensional range and prove that the operator [a, P] is densely defined in H for a certain class of projection operators P with infinite-dimensional ranges and kernels. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 153, No. 3, pp. 347–357, December, 2007.     

A remark on a maximal function over a Cantor set of directions

LetM _e ⁰ be the maximal operator over segments of length 1 with directions belonging to a Cantor set. It has been conjectured that this operator is bounded onL ². We consider a sequence of operators over finite sets of directions converging toM _e ⁰ . We improve the previous estimate for the (L ²,L ²)-norm of these particular operators. We also prove thatM _e ⁰ is bounded from some subsets ofL ² toL ². These subsets are composed of positive functions whose Fourier transforms have a very weak decay or are supported in a vertical strip. Partially supported by Spanish DGICYT grant no. PB90-0187.     

Dissipative operators in the Krein space. Invariant subspaces and properties of restrictions

We prove that a dissipative operator in the Krein space has a maximal nonnegative invariant subspace provided that the operator admits matrix representation with respect to the canonical decomposition of the space and the upper right operator in this representation is compact relative to the lower right operator. Under the additional assumption that the upper and lower left operators are bounded (the so-called Langer condition), this result was proved (in increasing order of generality) by Pontryagin, Krein, Langer, and Azizov. We relax the Langer condition essentially and prove under the new assumptions that a maximal dissipative operator in the Krein space has a maximal nonnegative invariant subspace such that the spectrum of its restriction to this subspace lies in the left half-plane. Sufficient conditions are found for this restriction to be the generator of a holomorphic semigroup or a C ₀-semigroup.     

Exponential asymptotic property of a parallel repairable system with warm standby under common-cause failure

We discuss exponential asymptotic property of the solution of a parallel repairable system with warm standby under common-cause failure. This system can be described by a group of partial differential equations with integral boundary. First we show that the positive contraction C₀-semigroup T(t) [Weiwei Hu, Asymptotic stability analysis of a parallel repairable system with warm standby under common-cause failure, Acta Anal. Funct. Appl. 8 (1) (2006) 5-20] which is generated by the operator corresponding to these equations is a quasi-compact operator. Then by using [Weiwei Hu, Asymptotic stability analysis of a parallel repairable system with warm standby under common-cause failure, Acta Anal. Funct. Appl. 8 (1) (2006) 5-20] that 0 is an eigenvalue of the operator with algebraic index one and the C₀-semigroup T(t) is contraction, we conclude that the spectral bound of the operator is zero. By using the above results the exponential asymptotical stability of the time-dependent solution of the system follows easily.     

The Whitney problem of existence of a linear extension operator

We prove that a linear bounded extension operator exists for the trace of C ^1·ω (R ⁿ )to an arbitrary closed subset of R ⁿ .The similar result is obtained for some other spaces of multivariate smooth functions. We also show that unlike the one-dimensional case treated by Whitney, for some trace spaces of multivariate smooth functions a linear bounded extension operator does not exist. The proofs are based on a relation between the problem under consideration and a similar problem for Lipschitz spaces defined on hyperbolic Riemannian manifolds.     

Nuclearity of a nonnegative definite integral kernel on a separable metric space

The aim of this paper is to characterize the nuclearity of an integral operator, defined by a continuous non-negative definite square integrable kernel on a separable metric space, in terms of the integrability of the trace of the kernel function. Nuclearity here plays a role forU-statistics.     

Integration of the sine-Gordon equation with a self-consistent source of the integral type in the case of multiple eigenvalues

The paper is dedicated to the evolution of the scattering data for a Dirac-type nonself-adjoint operator with multiple eigenvalues whose potential is a solution of the sine-Gordon equation with a self-consistent source of the integral type.

A Resolution for the Dirac Operator in Four Variables in Dimension 6

The Dirac operator in several operators is an analogue of the - operator in theory of several complex variables. The Hartog’s type phenomena are encoded in a complex of invariant differential operators starting with the Dirac operator, which is an analogue of the Dolbeault complex. In the paper, a construction of the complex is given for the Dirac operator in 4 variables in dimension 6 (i.e. in the non-stable range). A peculiar feature of the complex is that it contains a third order operator. The methods used in the construction are based on the Penrose transform developed by R. Baston and M. Eastwood. The work presented here is a part of the research project MSM 0021620839 and was supported also by the grant GA ČR 201/05/2117.     

On a Class of Operator Equations in Locally Convex Spaces

We consider a general method of solving equations whose left-hand side is a series by powers of a linear continuous operator acting in a locally convex space. Obtained solutions are given by operator series by powers of the same operator as the left-hand side of the equation. The research is realized by means of characteristics (of order and type) of operator as well as operator characteristics (of operator order and operator type) of vector relatively of an operator. In research we also use a convergence of operator series on equicontinuous bornology.
