On the sum of a narrow and a compact operators

Our main technical tool is a principally new property of compact narrow operators which works for a domain space without an absolutely continuous norm. It is proved that for every Köthe F-space X and for every locally convex F-space Y   the sum _T1+_T2$T_1+T_2$ of a narrow operator _T1:X→Y$T_1:X\to Y$ and a compact narrow operator _T2:X→Y$T_2:X\to Y$ is a narrow operator. This gives a positive answers to questions asked by M. Popov and B. Randrianantoanina [6, Problems 5.6 and 11.63].

On the iterates of positive linear operators preserving the affine functions

In this note we study the limit behavior of the iterates of a large class of positive linear operators preserving the affine functions and, as a byproduct of our result, we obtain the limit of the iterates of Meyer-König and Zeller operators.     

Spectral conditions on Lie and Jordan algebras of compact operators

We investigate the properties of bounded operators which satisfy a certain spectral additivity condition, and use our results to study Lie and Jordan algebras of compact operators. We prove that these algebras have nontrivial invariant subspaces when their elements have sublinear or submultiplicative spectrum, and when they satisfy simple trace conditions. In certain cases we show that these conditions imply that the algebra is (simultaneously) triangularizable.     

Two-sided bounds and perturbation results for regularized determinants of infinite order compact operators

A compact operator in a separable Hilbert space is of infinite order if it does not belong to any Schatten-von Neumann ideal. In the paper, upper and lower bounds for the regularized determinants of infinite order operators are derived. By these bounds, perturbations results for the regularized determinants are established.     

Estimates of positive linear operators in terms of second-order moduli

We estimate the constants related with the direct result for positive linear operators which preserves linear functions. The estimates are presented for the modulus of smoothness , where the weight φ is a function such that φ² is concave.     

Riesz-type representation for positive linear operators preserving continuity

A Riesz-type representation theorem is given for all positive linear endomorphisms of the space of continuous functions on a compact interval.     

Operators with connected spectrum + compact operators = strongly irreducible operators

Herrero’s conjecture that each operator with connected spectrum acting on complex, separable Hilbert space can be written as the sum of a strongly irreducible operator and a compact operator is proved.

Characterizations of Disjointness preserving operators on vector-valued function spaces

We characterize compact and completely continuous disjointness preserving linear operators on vector-valued continuous functions as follows: a disjointness preserving operator is compact (resp. completely continuous) if and only if

for all

where is continuous and vanishes at infinity in the uniform (resp. strong) operator topology, and is compact (resp.  is uniformly completely continuous).

     

The finite sum of finite products of Toeplitz operators on the polydisk

A limit theorem is established for a finite sum of finite products of Toeplitz operators on the Hardy space of the polydisk. As a consequence we show that the product of six Toeplitz operators with pluriharmonic symbols is compact iff the product equals zero iff one of these Toeplitz operators equals zero.     

Compact operators without extended eigenvalues

A complex number λ is called an extended eigenvalue of a bounded linear operator T on a Banach space B if there exists a non-zero bounded linear operator X acting on B such that XT=λTX. We show that there are compact quasinilpotent operators on a separable Hilbert space, for which the set of extended eigenvalues is the one-point set {1}.     

Direct and inverse estimates for a new family of linear positive operators

In the present paper we introduce a new family of linear positive operators and study some direct and inverse results in simultaneous approximation.     

Certain positive linear operators with better approximation properties

The present paper deals with a new positive linear operator which gives a connection between the Bernstein operators and their genuine Bernstein‐Durrmeyer variants. These new operators depend on a certain function τ defined on [0,1] and improve the classical results in some particular cases. Some approximation properties of the new operators in terms of first and second modulus of continuity and the Ditzian‐Totik modulus of smoothness are studied. Quantitative Voronovskaja–type theorems and Grüss‐Voronovskaja–type theorems constitute a great deal of interest of the present work. Some numerical results that compare the rate of convergence of these operators with the classical ones and illustrate the relevance of the theoretical results are given.     

Compact and weakly compact composition operators from the Bloch space into Möbius invariant spaces

We obtain exhaustive results and treat in a unified way the question of boundedness, compactness, and weak compactness of composition operators from the Bloch space into any space from a large family of conformally invariant spaces that includes the classical spaces like BMOA  , _Qα$Q_{\alpha }$, and analytic Besov spaces B^p$B^p$. In particular, by combining techniques from both complex and functional analysis, we prove that in this setting weak compactness is equivalent to compactness. For the operators into the corresponding “small” spaces we also characterize the boundedness and show that it is equivalent to compactness.     

On algebras of polynomially compact operators

In this paper, we find sufficient and necessary conditions for a triangularizable closed algebra of polynomially compact operators to be commutative modulo the radical. We also prove that an algebraic algebra of operators of a bounded degree on a Banach space is triangularizable under some mild additional conditions. As a special case we obtain a result stating that every algebraic algebra of operators of bounded degree is triangularizable whenever its commutators are nilpotent operators.     

The characterization of compact operators on spaces of strongly summable and bounded sequences

We use the characterizations of the classes of all infinite matrices that map the spaces of sequences which are strongly summable or bounded by the Cesàro method of order 1 into the spaces of null or convergent sequences given by Ba?ar, Malkowsky and Altay [Matrix transformations on the matrix domains of triangles in the spaces of strongly C₁-summable and bounded sequences, Publ. Math. Debrecen 73 (1-2) (2008), 193-213] and the Hausdorff measure of noncompactness to characterize the classes of all compact operators between those spaces.     

Compact operators on a Banach space into the space of almost periodic functions

LetS be a topological semigroup andAP(S) the space of continous complex almost periodic functions onS. We obtain characterizations of compact and weakly compact operators from a Banach spaceX into AP(S). For this we use the almost periodic compactification ofS obtained through uniform spaces. For a bounded linear operatorT fromX into AP(S), letT ₅, be the translate ofT bys inS defined byT ₅(x)=(Tx) ₅ . We define topologies on the space of bounded linear operators fromX into AP(S) and obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions for an operatorT to be compact or weakly compact in terms of the uniform continuity of the maps→T ₅. IfS is a Hausdorff topological semigroup, we also obtain characterizations of compact and weakly compact multipliers on AP(S) in terms of the uniform continuity of the map S→μ_s, where μ_s denotes the unique vector measure corresponding to the operatorT ₅.
