A characterization of k-hyponormality via weak subnormality

An operator T acting on a Hilbert space is said to be weakly subnormal if there exists an extension acting on such that for all . When such partially normal extensions exist, we denote by m.p.n.e.(T) the minimal one. On the other hand, for k?1, T is said to be k-hyponormal if the operator matrix is positive. We prove that a 2-hyponormal operator T always satisfies the inequality T∗[T∗,T]T?‖T‖2[T∗,T], and as a result T is automatically weakly subnormal. Thus, a hyponormal operator T is 2-hyponormal if and only if there exists B such that BA∗=A∗T and is hyponormal, where A:=[T∗,T]1/2. More generally, we prove that T is (k+1)-hyponormal if and and only if T is weakly subnormal and m.p.n.e.(T) is k-hyponormal. As an application, we obtain a matricial representation of the minimal normal extension of a subnormal operator as a block staircase matrix.     

Additive Jordan isomorphisms of nest algebras on normed spaces

Let X be a real or complex Banach space. Let and be two nest algebras on X. Suppose that φ is an additive bijective mapping from onto such that φ(A²)=φ(A)² for every . Then φ is either a ring isomorphism or a ring anti-isomorphism. Moreover, if X is a real space or an infinite dimensional complex space, then there exists a continuous (conjugate) linear bijective mapping T such that either φ(A)=TAT⁻¹ for every or φ(A)=TA∗T−1 for every .     

Kolmogorov and linear widths of weighted Besov classes

We study the Kolmogorov m-widths and the linear m-widths of the weighted Besov classes on [−1,1], where Lq,μ, 1?q?∞, denotes the Lq space on [−1,1] with respect to the measure , μ>0. Optimal asymptotic orders of and as m→∞ are obtained for all 1?p,τ?∞. It turns out that in many cases, the orders of are significantly smaller than the corresponding orders of the best m-term approximation by ultraspherical polynomials, which is somewhat surprising.     

Generalized vector valued almost periodic and ergodic distributions

Schwartz's almost periodic distributions are generalized to the case of Banach space valued distributions , and furthermore for a given arbitrary class A to for φ∈ test functions D(R,C)}. It is shown that this extension process is iteration complete, i.e. . Moreover the T from are characterized in various ways, also tempered distributions with P={X-valued functions of polynomial growth} are shown. Under suitable assumptions , , where for all h>0}, is defined with the corresponding extension of Mh. With an extension of the indefinite integral from to D^′(R,X) a distribution analogue to the Bohl-Bohr-Amerio-Kadets theorem on the almost periodicity of bounded indefinite integrals of almost periodic functions is obtained, also for almost automorphic, Levitan almost periodic and recurrent functions, similar for a result of Levitan concerning ergodic indefinite integrals. For many of the above results a new (Δ)-condition is needed, we show that it holds for most of the A needed in applications. Also an application to the study of asymptotic behavior of distribution solutions of neutral integro-differential-difference systems is given.     

Continuous dependence results for inhomogeneous ill-posed problems in Banach space

We apply semigroup theory and other operator-theoretic methods to prove Hölder-continuous dependence on modeling for the inhomogeneous ill-posed Cauchy problem in Banach space. The inhomogeneous ill-posed Cauchy problem is given by , u(0)=χ, 0?t<T; where −A is the infinitesimal generator of a holomorphic semigroup on a Banach space X, χ∈X, and . For a suitable function f, the approximate problem is given by , v(0)=χ. Under certain stabilizing conditions, we prove that for a related norm, where and M are computable constants independent of β, 0<β<1, and ω(t) is a harmonic function. These results extend earlier work of Ames and Hughes on the homogeneous ill-posed problem.     

A note on maximality of analytic crossed products

Let G be a compact abelian group with the totally ordered dual group which admits the positive semigroup . Let N be a von Neumann algebra and be an automorphism group of on N. We denote to the analytic crossed product determined by N and α. We show that if is a maximal σ-weakly closed subalgebra of , then induces an archimedean order in .     

q-Differential operator identities and applications

In this paper, we construct a new q-exponential operator and obtain some operator identities. Using these operator identities, we give a formal extension of Jackson's transformation formula. A formal extension of Bailey's summation and an extension of the Sears terminating balanced transformation formula are also derived by our operator method. In addition, we also derive several interesting a formal extensions involving multiple sum about three terms of Sears transformation formula and Heine's transformation formula.     

On the equivalence of McShane and Pettis integrability in non-separable Banach spaces

We show that McShane and Pettis integrability coincide for functions , where μ is any finite measure. On the other hand, assuming the Continuum Hypothesis, we prove that there exist a weakly Lindelöf determined Banach space X, a scalarly null (hence Pettis integrable) function and an absolutely summing operator u from X to another Banach space Y such that the composition is not Bochner integrable; in particular, h is not McShane integrable.     

Strong convergence of the composite Halpern iteration

Let C be a closed convex subset of a uniformly smooth Banach space E and let T:C→C be a nonexpansive mapping with a nonempty fixed points set. Given a point u∈C, the initial guess x₀∈C is chosen arbitrarily and given sequences , and in (0,1), the following conditions are satisfied:

Convergence in mean of some random Fourier series

For a symmetric stable process X(t,ω) with index α∈(1,2], f∈Lp[0,2π], p?α, and , we establish that the random Fourier-Stieltjes (RFS) series converges in the mean to the stochastic integral , where fβ is the fractional integral of order β of the function f for . Further it is proved that the RFS series is Abel summable to . Also we define fractional derivative of the sum of order β for an, An(ω) as above and . We have shown that the formal fractional derivative of the series of order β exists in the sense of mean.     

Bounded tightness for locally convex spaces and spaces C(X)

We show that metrizability and bounded tightness are actually equivalent for a large class of locally convex spaces including (LF)-spaces, (DF)-spaces, the space of distributions D′(Ω), etc. A consequence of this fact is that for the bounded tightness for the weak topology of X is equivalent to the following one: X is linearly homeomorphic to a subspace of . This nicely supplements very recent results of Cascales and Raja. Moreover, we show that a metric space X is separable if the space C_p(X) has bounded tightness.     

Generalized sampling in shift-invariant spaces with multiple stable generators

The aim of this paper is to derive stable generalized sampling in a shift-invariant space with ? stable generators. This is done in the light of the theory of frames in the product Hilbert space (? times). The generalized samples are expressed as the frame coefficients of an appropriate function in with respect to some particular frame in . Since any multiply stable generated shift-invariant space is the image of by means of a bounded invertible operator, the generalized sampling is obtained from some dual frame expansions in . An example in the setting of the Hermite cubic splines is exhibited.     

Some classes of non-analytic Markov semigroups

We deal with Markov semigroups T_t corresponding to second order elliptic operators Au=Δu+〈Du,F〉, where F is an unbounded locally Lipschitz vector field on . We obtain new conditions on F under which T_t is not analytic in . In particular, we prove that the one-dimensional operator Au=u″−x³u′, with domain , , is not sectorial in . Under suitable hypotheses on the growth of F, we introduce a class of non-analytic Markov semigroups in , where μ is an invariant measure for T_t.     

On some geometric parameters in Banach spaces

Let X be a normed linear space and be the unit sphere of X. Let , , and J(X)=sup{‖x+y‖∧‖x−y‖}, x and y∈S(X) be the modulus of convexity, the modulus of smoothness, and the modulus of squareness of X, respectively. Let . In this paper we proved some sufficient conditions on δ(?), ρX(?), J(X), E(X), and , where the supremum is taken over all the weakly null sequence xn in X and all the elements x of X for the uniform normal structure.

Let X be a real Banach space, an m-accretive operator and a multi-function which is 2π-periodic with respect to its first argument, has nonempty, closed, convex and weakly compact values and is strongly-weakly upper semicontinuous. In this paper we prove the existence of at least one solution for the problem
