Essential spectra of some matrix operators and application to two-group transport operators with general boundary conditions

In this article we investigate the essential spectra of a 2×2 block operator matrix on a Banach space. Furthermore, we apply the obtained results to determine the essential spectra of two-group transport operators with general boundary conditions in the Banach space Lp([−a,a]×[−1,1])×Lp([−a,a]×[−1,1]), a>0.

This paper is devoted to the investigation of the essential approximate point spectrum and the essential defect spectrum of a 2 × 2 block operator matrix on a product of Banach spaces. The obtained results are applied to a two‐group transport operators with general boundary conditions in the Banach space L_p ([–a, a ] × [–1, 1]) × L_p ([–a, a ] × [–1, 1]), a > 0, p ≥ 1 (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Spectra of composition operators on the bloch and bergman spaces

Whenϕ is an analytic map of the unit diskU into itself, andX is a Banach space of analytic functions onU, define the composition operatorC _ϕ byC _ϕ (f)=f o ϕ, forf∈X. In this paper we show how to use the Calderón theory of complex interpolation to obtain information on the spectrum ofC _ϕ (under suitable hypotheses onϕ) acting on the Bloch spaceB and BMOA, the space of analytic functions in BMO. To do this we first obtain some results on the essential spectral radius and spectrum ofC _ϕ on the Bergman spacesA ^pand Hardy spacesH ^p,spaces which are connected toB and BMOA by the interpolation relationships [A ¹,B] _t =A ^pand [H ¹,BMOA] _t =H ^pfor 1=p(1−t).     

Any Banach space has an equivalent norm with trivial isometries

For any Banach spaceX there is a norm |||·||| onX, equivalent to the original one, such that (X, |||·|||) has only trivial isometries. For any groupG there is a Banach spaceX such that the group of isometries ofX is isomorphic toG × {− 1, 1}. For any countable groupG there is a norm ‖ · ‖ _G onC([0, 1]) equivalent to the original one such that the group of isometries of (C([0, 1]), ‖ · ‖ _G ) is isomorphic toG × {−1, + 1}.     

Algebra descent spectrum of operators

We say that a Banach space X satisfies the “descent spectrum equality” (in short, DSE) whenever, for every bounded linear operator T on X, the descent spectrum of T as an operator coincides with the descent spectrum of T as an element of the algebra of all bounded linear operators on X. We prove that the DSE is fulfilled by ℓ₁, all Hilbert spaces, and all Banach spaces which are not isomorphic to any of their proper quotients (so, in particular, by the hereditarily indecomposable Banach spaces [8]), but not by ℓ _p , for 1 < p ≤ ∞ with p ≠ 2. Actually, a Banach space is not isomorphic to any of its proper quotients if and only if it is not isomorphic to any of its proper complemented subspaces and satisfies the DSE.     

Modulus Semigroups and Perturbation Classes for Linear Delay Equations in <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>

In this paper we study C₀-semigroups on X × L_p( − h, 0; X) associated with linear differential equations with delay, where X is a Banach space. In the case that X is a Banach lattice with order continuous norm, we describe the associated modulus semigroup, under minimal assumptions on the delay operator. Moreover, we present a new class of delay operators for which the delay equation is well-posed for p in a subinterval of [1,∞). Dedicated to the memory of H. H. Schaefer     

Invertibility and the fredholm property of difference operators

We obtain conditions for the invertibility and the Fredholm property of the difference operator (Dx)(n)=x(n) -U(n)x(n − 1),n ε ℤ, in the Banach space l _p (ℤ, X),p ε [1, ∞], of vector sequences, whereX is a Banach space andU is a bounded operator function.

Invariant differential operators on symplectic grassmann manifolds

LetM _2n,r denote the vector space of real or complex2n×r matrices with the natural action of the symplectic group Sp _2n , and letG=G _n,r =Sp _2n ×M _2n,r denote the corresponding semi-direct product. For any integerp with 0≤p≤n−1, letH denote the subgroupG _p,r ×Sp _2n−2p ofG. We explicitly compute the algebra of left invariant differential operators onG/H, and we show that it is a free algebra if and only ifr≤2n−2p+1. We also give orthogonal analogues of these results, generalizing those of Gonzalez and Helgason [3].

On weighted approximation by Bernstein-Durrmeyer operators

In this paper, we consider weighted approximation by Bernstein-Durrmeyer operators in L_p[0, 1] (1≤p≤∞), where the weight function w(x)=x^α(1−x)^β,−1/p<α, β<1-1/p. We obtain the direct and converse theorems. As an important tool we use appropriate K-functionals. Supported by Zhejiang Provincial Science Foundation.     

On the spectrum of multivariable weighted composition operators

In this paper we study the point spectrum of the operator

带振荡因子的粗双曲奇异积分算子

The singular integral operator J Ω,α, and the Marcinkiewicz integral operator (~μ)Ω,α are studied. The kernels of the operators behave like |y|-n-α(α＞0) near the origin, and contain an oscillating factor ei|y|-β(β＞0) and a distribution Ω on the unit sphere Sn-1 It is proved that, if Ω is in the Hardy space Hr (Sn-1) with 0＜r= (n-1)/(n-1 )(＞0), and satisfies certain cancellation condition,then J Ω,α and uΩ,α extend the bounded operator from Sobolev space Lpγ to Lebesgue space Lp for some p. The result improves and extends some known results.     

UNIFORM CONVERGENCE OF CESARO MEANS OF NEGATIVE ORDER OF DOUBLE TRIGONOMETRIC FOURIER SERIES

In this paper we prove that iff ∈ C([-π,π]2) and the function f is bounded partial p-variation for some p ∈ [1, ∞), then the double trigonometric Fourier series of a function f is uniformly (C;-α,-β) summable (α β＜ 1/p,α,β＞ 0) in the sense of Pringsheim. If α β≥ 1/p, then there exists a continuous function f0 of bounded partial double trigonometric Fourier series of fo diverge over cubes.     

Characterizations of new Cohen summing bilinear operators

We prove two characterizations of new Cohen summing bilinear operators. The first one is: Let X, Y and Z be Banach spaces, 1 < p < ∞, V : X × Y → Z a bounded linear operator and n ≥ 2 a natural number. Then V is new Cohen p-summing if and only if for all Banach spaces X₁,?…?, X_n and all p-summing operators U : X₁ × · · · × X_n → X, the operator V ? (U, I_Y) : X₁ × · · · × X_n × Y → Z is -summing. The second result is: Let H be a Hilbert space,, Y, Z Banach spaces and V : H × Y → Z a bounded bilinear operator and 1 < p < ∞. Then V is new Cohen p-summing if and only if for all Banach spaces E and all p-summing operators U : E → H, the operator V ? (U, I_Y) is (p, p*)-dominated.     

Almost automorphic solutions to integral equations on the line

Given a∈L ¹(ℝ) and A the generator of an L ¹-integrable family of bounded and linear operators defined on a Banach space X, we prove the existence of almost automorphic solution to the semilinear integral equation u(t)=∫ _−∞ ^t a(t−s)[Au(s)+f(s,u(s))]ds for each f:ℝ×X→X almost automorphic in t, uniformly in x∈X, and satisfying diverse Lipschitz type conditions. In the scalar case, we prove that a∈L ¹(ℝ) positive, nonincreasing and log-convex is already sufficient.     

Multivalued perturbations ofm-accretive differential inclusions

Given anm-accretive operatorA in a Banach spaceX and an upper semicontinuous multivalued mapF: [0,a]×X→2 ^X , we consider the initial value problemu′∈−Au+F(t,u) on [0,a],u(0)=x ₀. We concentrate on the case when the semigroup generated by—A is only equicontinuous and obtain existence of integral solutions if, in particular,X* is uniformly convex andF satisfies β(F(t,B))≤k(t)β(B) for all boundedB⊂X wherek∈L ¹([0,a]) and β denotes the Hausdorff-measure of noncompactness. Moreover, we show that the set of all solutions is a compactR _δ-set in this situation. In general, the extra condition onX* is essential as we show by an example in whichX is not uniformly smooth and the set of all solutions is not compact, but it can be omited ifA is single-valued and continuous or—A generates aC _o-semigroup of bounded linear operators. In the simpler case when—A generates a compact semigroup, we give a short proof of existence of solutions, again ifX* is uniformly (or strictly) convex. In this situation we also provide a counter-example in ℝ⁴ in which no integral solution exists.

Spectra of partial integral operators with a kernel of three variables

Let Ω= [a, b] × [c, d] and T ₁, T ₂ be partial integral operators in (Ω): (T ₁ f)(x, y) = k ₁(x, s, y)f(s, y)ds, (T ₂ f)(x, y) = k ₂(x, ts, y)f(t, y)dt where k ₁ and k ₂ are continuous functions on [a, b] × Ω and Ω × [c, d], respectively. In this paper, concepts of determinants and minors of operators E−τT ₁, τ ∈ ℂ and E−τT ₂, τ ∈ ℂ are introduced as continuous functions on [a, b] and [c, d], respectively. Here E is the identical operator in C(Ω). In addition, Theorems on the spectra of bounded operators T ₁, T ₂, and T = T ₁ + T ₂ are proved.      

Universal non-compact operators between super-reflexive Banach spaces and the existence of a complemented copy of Hilbert space

Suppose that 1<p≦2, 2≦q<∞. The formal identity operatorI:l _p→l _qfactorizes through any given non-compact operator from ap-smooth Banach space into aq-convex Banach space. It follows that ifX is a 2-convex space andY is an infinite dimensional subspace ofX which is isomorphic to a Hilbert space, thenY contains an isomorphic copy ofl ₂ which is complemented inX.

Banach spaces of operators that are complemented in their biduals

Let [A, a] be a normed operator ideal. We say that [A, a] is boundedly weak*-closed if the following property holds: for all Banach spaces X and Y, if T: X → Y** is an operator such that there exists a bounded net (T _i ) _i∈I in A(X, Y) satisfying lim _i 〈y*, T _i x y*〉 for every x ∈ X and y* ∈ Y*, then T belongs to A(X, Y**). Our main result proves that, when [A, a] is a normed operator ideal with that property, A(X, Y) is complemented in its bidual if and only if there exists a continuous projection from Y** onto Y, regardless of the Banach space X. We also have proved that maximal normed operator ideals are boundedly weak*-closed but, in general, both concepts are different.
