An approximation method for strictly pseudocontractive mappings

Let K$K$ be a closed convex subset of a q$q$-uniformly smooth separable Banach space, T:K→K$T:K\to K$ a strictly pseudocontractive mapping, and f:K→K$f:K\to K$ an L$L$-Lispschitzian strongly pseudocontractive mapping. For any t∈(0,1)$t\in (0,1)$, let _xt$x_t$ be the unique fixed point of tf+(1-t)T$\mathit{tf}+(1-t)T$. We prove that if T$T$ has a fixed point, then {_xt}$\{x_t\}$ converges to a fixed point of T$T$ as t$t$ approaches to 0.     

Derivations and local derivations on Freudenthal almost f-algebras

Let A be an Archimedean f  -algebra and let N(A)$N(A)$ be the set of all nilpotent elements of A. Colville et al. [4] proved that a positive linear map d:A→A$d:A\to A$ is a derivation if and only if d(A)⊂N(A)$d(A)\subset N(A)$ and d(A²)={0}$d(A^2)=\{0\}$, where A²$A^2$ is the set of all products ab in A.     

A converse of Loewner–Heinz inequality and applications to operator means

Let f(t)$f(t)$ be an operator monotone function. Then A?B$A?B$ implies f(A)?f(B)$f(A)?f(B)$, but the converse implication is not true. Let A?B$A?B$ be the geometric mean of A,B?0$A,B?0$. If A?B$A?B$, then B⁻¹?A?I$B^{-1}?A?I$; the converse implication is not true either. We will show that if f(λB+I)⁻¹?f(λA+I)?I$f{(\lambda B+I)}^{-1}?f(\lambda A+I)?I$ for all sufficiently small λ>0$\lambda >0$, then f(λA+I)?f(λB+I)$f(\lambda A+I)?f(\lambda B+I)$ and A?B$A?B$. Moreover, we extend it to multi-variable matrices means.     

The reduced expressions in a Coxeter system with a strictly complete Coxeter graph

Let (W,S)$(W,S)$ be a Coxeter system with a strictly complete Coxeter graph. The present paper concerns the set Red(z)$\mathrm{Red}(z)$ of all reduced expressions for any z∈W$z\in W$. By associating each bc-expression to a certain symbol, we describe the set Red(z)$\mathrm{Red}(z)$ and compute its cardinal |Red(z)|$|\mathrm{Red}(z)|$ in terms of symbols. An explicit formula for |Red(z)|$|\mathrm{Red}(z)|$ is deduced, where the Fibonacci numbers play a crucial role.     

Description of extended eigenvalues and extended eigenvectors of integration operators on the Wiener algebra

In the present paper we consider the Volterra integration operator V   on the Wiener algebra W(D)$W(\mathbb{D})$ of analytic functions on the unit disc D$\mathbb{D}$ of the complex plane C$\mathbb{C}$. A complex number λ$\lambda$ is called an extended eigenvalue of V if there exists a nonzero operator A   satisfying the equation AV=λVA$\mathit{AV}=\lambda \mathit{VA}$. We prove that the set of all extended eigenvalues of V   is precisely the set C?{0}$\mathbb{C}?\{0\}$, and describe in terms of Duhamel operators and composition operators the set of corresponding extended eigenvectors of V$V$. The similar result for some weighted shift operator on _?p${?}_p$ spaces is also obtained.
