Let K be a non-archimedean valued field which contains Qp and suppose that K is complete for the valuation |·|, which extends the p-adic valuation. Vq is the closure of the set {aqn|n = 0,1,2,...} where a and q are two units of Zp, q not a root of unity. C(Vq → K) is the Banach space of continuous functions from Vq to K, equipped with the supremum norm. Our aim is to find normal bases (rn(x)) for C(Vq → K), where rn(x) does not have to be a polynomial.

Let $H_p$ denote the usual Hardy space of analytic functions on the unit disc $(0\<p\le \infty )$. We prove that for every function $f\in H_1$ there exists a linear operator $T$ defined on $L_1\left(\mathbf{T}\right)$ which is simultaneously bounded from $L_1\left(\mathbf{T}\right)$ to $H_1$ and from $L_{\infty }\left(\mathbf{T}\right)$ to $H_{\infty }$ such that $T\left(f\right)=f$. Consequently, we get the following results $(1\le p_0,p_1\le \infty )$:1) $(H_{p_0},H_{p_1})$ is a Calderon-Mitjagin couple;2) for any interpolation functor $F$, we have $F(H_{p_0},H_{p_1})=H\left(F\right(L_{p_0}\left(\mathbf{T}\right),L_{p_1}\left(\mathbf{T}\right)\left)\right)$, where$H\left(F\right(L_{p_0}\left(\mathbf{T}\right),L_{p_1}\left(\mathbf{T}\right)\left)\right)$ denotes the closed subspace of $F\left(L_{p_0}\right(\mathbf{T}),L_{p_1}(\mathbf{T}\left)\right)$ of all functions whose Fourier coefficients vanish on negative integers.These results also extend to Hardy...

We introduce new concepts of numerical range and numerical radius of one operator with respect to another one, which generalize in a natural way the known concepts of numerical range and numerical radius. We study basic properties of these new concepts and present some examples.

We show that in the space C[-1,1] there exists an orthogonal algebraic polynomial basis with optimal growth of degrees of the polynomials.

We investigate Banach space automorphisms $T:{\ell }_{\infty }/c₀\to {\ell }_{\infty }/c₀$ focusing on the possibility of representing their fragments of the form $T_{B,A}:{\ell }_{\infty }\left(A\right)/c₀\left(A\right)\to {\ell }_{\infty }\left(B\right)/c₀\left(B\right)$ for A,B ⊆ ℕ infinite by means of linear operators from ${\ell }_{\infty }\left(A\right)$ into ${\ell }_{\infty }\left(B\right)$, infinite A×B-matrices, continuous maps from B* = βB∖B into A*, or bijections from B to A. This leads to the analysis of general bounded linear operators on ${\ell }_{\infty }/c₀$. We present many examples, introduce and investigate several classes of operators, for some of them we obtain satisfactory representations and for others give...

We give a characterization of compact spaces K such that the Banach space C(K) is isomorphic to the space c₀(Γ) for some set Γ. As an application we show that there exists an Eberlein compact space K of weight ${\omega }_{\omega }$ and with the third derived set $K^{\left(3\right)}$ empty such that the space C(K) is not isomorphic to any c₀(Γ). For this compactum K, the spaces C(K) and $c₀\left({\omega }_{\omega }\right)$ are examples of weakly compactly generated (WCG) Banach spaces which are Lipschitz isomorphic but not isomorphic.
