On the Injective Tensor Product of Distinguished Frechet Spaces

An example of two distinguished Fréchet spaces E, F is given (even more, E is quasinormable and F is normable) such that their completed injective tensor product E?F is not distinguished. On the other hand, it is proved that for arbitrary reflexive Fréchet space E and arbitrary compact set K the space of E - valued continuous functions C(K, E) is distinguished and its strong dual is naturally isomorphic to ? where L¹(μ) = C(K)¹.     

Fourier type 2 operators with respect to locally compact abelian groups

A linear and bounded operator T between Banach spaces X and Y has Fourier type 2 with respect to a locally compact abelian group G if there exists a constant c > 0 such that∥T ∥₂ ≤ c∥f∥₂ holds for all X‐valued functions f ∈ L^X₂(G) where is the Fourier transform of f. We show that any Fourier type 2 operator with respect to the classical groups has Fourier type 2 with respect to any locally compact abelian group. This generalizes previous special results for the Cantor group and for closed subgroups of ?ⁿ. (© 2004 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Hankel-type operators on the space of bounded harmonic functions

We study Hankel-type operators on the space of bounded harmonic functions on the open unit disk. These operators are related to tight uniform algebras, the Dunford-Pettis property, and Bourgain algebras.

     

Weighted approximation of continuous functions by sequences of linear positive operators

In this work we obtain, under suitable conditions, theorems of Korovkin type for spaces with different weight, composed of continuous functions defined on unbounded regions. These results can be seen as an extension of theorems by Gadjiev in [4] and [5].     

Schatten class and Berezin transform of quaternionic linear operators

In this paper, we introduce the Schatten class and the Berezin transform of quaternionic operators. The first topic is of great importance in operator theory, but it is also necessary to study the second one, which requires the notion of trace class operators, a particular case of the Schatten class. Regarding the Berezin transform, we give the general definition and properties. Then we concentrate on the setting of weighted Bergman spaces of slice hyperholomorphic functions. Our results are based on the S‐spectrum of quaternionic operators, which is the notion of spectrum that appears in the quaternionic version of the spectral theorem and in the quaternionic S‐functional calculus.

Elliptic operators with infinite-dimensional state spaces

Motivated by applications to problems from physics, we study elliptic operators with operator-valued coefficients acting on Banach-space-valued distributions. After giving a definition of ellipticity, normal ellipticity in particular, generalizing the classical concepts, we show that normally elliptic operators are negative generators of analytic semigroups on for 1 and on and , as well as on all Besov spaces of E-valued distributions on , where E is any Banach space. This is true under minimal regularity assumptions for the coefficients, thanks to a point-wise multiplier theorem for E-valued distributions proven in the appendix.

Abstract

We study the existence and the continuity of superposition operators between weighted spaces of holomorphic functions in terms of the weights.     

Toeplitz operators on the space of analytic functions with logarithmic growth

Continuous and compact Toeplitz operators for positive symbols are characterized on the space of analytic functions with logarithmic growth on the open unit disc of the complex plane. The characterizations are in terms of the behaviour of the Berezin transform of the symbol. The space was introduced and studied by Taskinen. The Bergman projection is continuous on this space in a natural way, which permits to define Toeplitz operators. Sufficient conditions for general symbols are also presented.     

Norm estimates for functions of two operators on tensor products of Hilbert spaces

Analytic operator valued functions of two operators on tensor products of Hilbert spaces are considered. A precise norm estimate is established. Applications to operator differential equations are also discussed. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Extending hysteresis operators to spaces of piecewise continuous functions

We consider continuous-time hysteresis operators, defined to be causal and rate independent operators mapping input signals to output signals . We show how a hysteresis operator defined on the set of continuous piecewise monotone functions can be naturally extended to piecewise continuous piecewise monotone functions. We prove that the extension is also a hysteresis operator and that a number of important properties of the original operator are inherited by the extension. Moreover, we define the concept of a discrete-time hysteresis operator and we show that discretizing continuous-time hysteresis operators using standard sampling and hold operations leads to discrete-time hysteresis operators. We apply the concepts and results described above in the context of sampled-data feedback control of linear systems with input hysteresis.     

On decompositions of Banach spaces of continuous functions on Mrówka's spaces

It is well known that if is infinite compact Hausdorff and scattered (i.e., with no perfect subsets), then the Banach space of continuous functions on has complemented copies of , i.e., . We address the question if this could be the only type of decompositions of into infinite-dimensional summands for infinite, scattered. Making a special set-theoretic assumption such as the continuum hypothesis or Martin's axiom we construct an example of Mrówka's space (i.e., obtained from an almost disjoint family of sets of positive integers) which answers positively the above question.

     

Sequences of vectors that are orbits of operators

This paper characterizes sequences of vectors that are the orbits of a linear operator and sequences of vectors in a Hilbert space that are orbits of a unitary operator. The latter is applied to time series. Sequences of vectors in a Hilbert space that generalize random walks are also shown to be the orbits of a bounded linear operator.     

On the essential commutant of analytic Toeplitz operators associated with spherical isometries

Let T∈Bn(H) be an essentially normal spherical isometry with empty point spectrum on a separable complex Hilbert space H, and let AT⊂B(H) be the unital dual operator algebra generated by T. In this note we show that every operator S∈B(H) in the essential commutant of AT has the form S=X+K with a T-Toeplitz operator X and a compact operator K. Our proof actually covers a larger class of subnormal operator tuples, called A-isometries, which includes for example the tuple T=(Mz₁,…,Mzn)∈B(H²n(σ)) consisting of the multiplication operators with the coordinate functions on the Hardy space H²(σ) associated with the normalized surface measure σ on the boundary ∂D of a strictly pseudoconvex domain D⊂Cn. As an application we determine the essential commutant of the set of all analytic Toeplitz operators on H²(σ) and thus extend results proved by Davidson (1977) [6] for the unit disc and Ding and Sun (1997) [11] for the unit ball.     

Approximation properties of a generalization of positive linear operators

In the present paper we introduce a generalization of positive linear operators and obtain its Korovkin type approximation properties. The rates of convergence of this generalization is also obtained by means of modulus of continuity and Lipschitz type maximal functions. The second purpose of this paper is to obtain weighted approximation properties for the generalization of positive linear operators defined in this paper. Also we obtain a differential equation so that the second moment of our operators is a particular solution of it. Lastly, some Voronovskaja type asymptotic formulas are obtained for Meyer-König and Zeller type and Bleimann, Butzer and Hahn type operators.     

Functions of bounded variation with respect to a Tchebycheff system

A characterization of Tchebycheff systems is given, in terms of Weak Tchebycheff systems.     

Nonradial Hörmander algebras of several variables and convolution operators

A characterization of the closed principal ideals in nonradial Hörmander algebras of holomorphic functions of several variables in terms of the behaviour of the generator is obtained. This result is applied to study the range of convolution operators and ultradifferential operators on spaces of quasianalytic functions of Beurling type. Contrary to what is known to happen in the case of non-quasianalytic functions, an ultradistribution on a space of quasianalytic functions is constructed such that the range of the operator does not contain the real analytic functions.
