Criteria for positively quadratically hyponormal weighted shifts

For bounded linear operators on Hilbert space, positive quadratic hyponormality is a property strictly between subnormality and hyponormality and which is of use in exploring the gap between these more familiar properties. Recently several related positively quadratically hyponormal weighted shifts have been constructed. In this note we establish general criteria for the positive quadratic hyponormality of weighted shifts which easily yield the results for these examples and other such weighted shifts.

     

Hyponormal Toeplitz operators on the polydisk

By bounded vector-valued functions and block matrix representations of Hankel operators, we completely characterize the hyponormality of Toeplitz operators on the Hardy space of the polydisk.     

Some Quadratically Hyponormal Weighted Shifts

In the study of the gaps between subnormality and hyponormality both quadratic hyponormality and the related property positive quadratic hyponormality have been considered, especially for weighted shift operators. In particular, these have been studied for shifts with the first two weights equal and with Bergman tail or recursively generated tail. In this article, we characterize the allowed first two equal weights for quadratic hyponormality with Bergman tail, and the allowed first two equal weights for positive quadratic hyponormality with recursively generated tail.

Joint hyponormality of composition operators with linear fractional symbols

We study joint hyponormality and joint subnormality of ofn-tuples of commuting composition operators with linear fractional symbols, acting on the Hardy spaceH ². We also consider subnormality ofn-tuples of adjoints of composition operators.     

Hyponormal Toeplitz Operators with Matrix-Valued Circulant Symbols

In this paper we are concerned with the hyponormality of Toeplitz operators with matrix-valued circulant symbols. We establish a necessary and sufficient condition for Toeplitz operators with matrix-valued partially circulant symbols to be hyponormal and also provide a rank formula for the self-commutator.

On Subnormality and Formal Subnormality for Tuples of Unbounded Operators

We introduce the notion of (joint) formal normality for a collection of unbounded linear operators on a separable Hilbert space H which is, in some sense, a natural generalization of the notion of formal normality for a single operator. We give some relations between this new notion and (joint) subnormality and hyponormality. We adapt, in particular, a proof of Stochel and Szafraniec to give necessary and sufficient conditions for a tupleof unbounded operators with invariant domain to be (jointly) subnormal.     

Hyponormal Toeplitz operators and zeros of polynomials

The problem of hyponormality for Toeplitz operators with (trigo- nometric) polynomial symbols is studied. We give a necessary and sufficient condition using the zeros of the analytic polynomial induced by the Fourier coefficients of the symbol.

     

Jointly hyponormal pairs of commuting subnormal operators need not be jointly subnormal

We construct three different families of commuting pairs of subnormal operators, jointly hyponormal but not admitting commuting normal extensions. Each such family can be used to answer in the negative a 1988 conjecture of R. Curto, P. Muhly and J. Xia. We also obtain a sufficient condition under which joint hyponormality does imply joint subnormality.

We give a formula for and describe when . We explore the hyponormality of Toeplitz operators whose symbols are of circulant type and some more general types. In addition, we discuss formulas for and estimates of the rank of the self-commutator of a hyponormal Toeplitz operator.

Schur product techniques for commuting multivariable weighted shifts

In this paper we study the hyponormality and subnormality of 2-variable weighted shifts using the Schur product techniques in matrices. As applications, we generalize the result in [R. Curto, J. Yoon, Jointly hyponormal pairs of subnormal operators need not be jointly subnormal, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 358 (2006) 5135-5159, Theorem 5.2] and give a non-trivial, large class satisfying the Curto-Muhly-Xia conjecture [R. Curto, P. Muhly, J. Xia, Hyponormal pairs of commuting operators, Oper. Theory Adv. Appl. 35 (1988) 1-22] for 2-variable weighted shifts. Further, we give a complete characterization of hyponormality and subnormality in the class of flat, contractive, 2-variable weighted shifts T≡(T₁,T₂) with the condition that the norm of the 0th horizontal 1-variable weighted shift of T is a given constant.     

Hyponormal Dual Toeplitz Operators on the Orthogonal Complement of the Harmonic Bergman Space

In this paper, we mainly study the hyponormality of dual Toeplitz operators on the orthogonal complement of the harmonic Bergman space. First we show that the dual Toeplitz operator with the bounded symbol is hyponormal if and only if it is normal. Then we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the dual Toeplitz operator ■ with the symbol ■ to be hyponormal. Finally, we show that the rank of the commutator of two dual Toeplitz operators must be an even number if the commutator has a fin...

Hyponormality of bounded‐type Toeplitz operators

In this paper we deal with the hyponormality of Toeplitz operators with matrix‐valued symbols. The aim of this paper is to provide a tractable criterion for the hyponormality of bounded‐type Toeplitz operators (i.e., the symbol is a matrix‐valued function such that Φ and are of bounded type). In particular, we get a much simpler criterion for the hyponormality of when the co‐analytic part of the symbol Φ is a left divisor of the analytic part.     

Band Toeplitz preconditioners for block Toeplitz systems

We consider the solutions of block Toeplitz systems with Toeplitz blocks by the preconditioned conjugate gradient (PCG) method. Here the block Toeplitz matrices are generated by nonnegative functions f(x,y). We use band Toeplitz matrices as preconditioners. The generating functions g(x,y) of the preconditioners are trigonometric polynomials of fixed degree and are determined by minimizing (f − g)/f∞. We prove that the condition number of the preconditioned system is O(1). An a priori bound on the number of iterations for convergence is obtained.     

A new criterion for -hyponormality via weak subnormality

In this article we obtain a criterion for -hyponormality via weak subnormality. Using this criterion we recapture Spitkovskii's subnormality criterion and give a simple proof of the main result in Gu's preprint (2001), which describes a gap between -hyponormality and ()-hyponormality for Toeplitz operators. In addition, we notice that the minimal normal extension of a subnormal operator is exactly the inductive limit of its minimal partially normal extensions.

     

Conservative solution of the Fokker–Planck equation for stochastic chemical reactions

In this paper we discuss multigrid methods for ill-conditioned symmetric positive definite block Toeplitz matrices. Our block Toeplitz systems are general in the sense that the individual blocks are not necessarily Toeplitz, but we restrict our attention to blocks of small size. We investigate how transfer operators for prolongation and restriction have to be chosen such that our multigrid algorithms converge quickly. We point out why these transfer operators can be understood as block matrices as well and how they relate to the zeroes of the generating matrix function. We explain how our new algorithms can also be combined efficiently with the use of a natural coarse grid operator. We clearly identify a class of ill-conditioned block Toeplitz matrices for which our algorithmic ideas are suitable. In the final section we present an outlook to well-conditioned block Toeplitz systems and to problems of vector Laplace type. In the latter case the small size blocks can be interpreted as degrees of freedom associated with a node. A large number of numerical experiments throughout the article confirms convincingly that our multigrid solvers lead to optimal order convergence. AMS subject classification (2000) 65N55, 65F10     

Which subnormal Toeplitz operators are either normal or analytic?

We study subnormal Toeplitz operators on the vector-valued Hardy space of the unit circle, along with an appropriate reformulation of P.R. Halmos?s Problem 5: Which subnormal block Toeplitz operators are either normal or analytic? We extend and prove Abrahamse?s theorem to the case of matrix-valued symbols; that is, we show that every subnormal block Toeplitz operator with bounded type symbol (i.e., a quotient of two bounded analytic functions), whose analytic and co-analytic parts have the “left coprime factorization”, is normal or analytic. We also prove that the left coprime factorization condition is essential. Finally, we examine a well-known conjecture, of whether every subnormal Toeplitz operator with finite rank self-commutator is normal or analytic.
