Bounds for the spectral abscissa of an element in a Banach algebra

For an arbitrary element x with spectrum sp(x) in a Banach algebra with identity e ≠ 0 we define the upper (lower) spectral abscissa \(\mathop {\sigma + (x)}\limits_{( - )} = \mathop {\max }\limits_{(\min )} \operatorname{Re} \lambda ,\lambda \in sp(x)\) . With the aid of the spectral radius \(\rho (x) = \mathop {\max }\limits_{\lambda \in sp(x)} \left| \lambda \right| = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to + \infty } \parallel x^n {{1 - } \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{1 - } n}} \right. \kern-0em} n}\) we prove the following bounds: γ_?(x)?σ_?(x)?Γ_?(x)?₊(x)?σ₊(x)?γ₊(x), Γ_(±)(x)=(2δ_(±))^?1 (ρ _δ ² )_(±)?δ _(±) ² ?ρ ₀ ² )(δ_(±)≠0), γ_(±)(x)= (±)ρ_δ(±)?δ_(±), δ₊?0, δ_??0 ρ _(±) ^δ = ρ(x+eδ_(±)). We mention a case where equality is achieved, some corollaries,and discuss the sharpness of the bounds: for every ? > 0 there is a δ: ¦δ¦ ≥ρ ₀ ² /2?, such that Δ: = ¦γ_(±) x?Γ_(±) x¦?ε and conversely, if the bounds are computed for some δ ≠ 0, then △ ≤ρ ₀ ² /2 ¦δ¦. An example is considered.
