In this work, we begin with a survey of composition operators on the Hardy space H² and on the Wiener algebra A⁺ of absolutely convergent Taylor series, with special emphasis on their compactness, or invertibility, or isometric character. The main results are due respectively to J. Shapiro and D.~Newman. In a second part, we present more recent results, due to Gordon and Hedenmalm on the one hand, and to Bayart, the author et al. on the other hand, concerning the analogues of H² and A⁺ in the setting...

Let $N_{\alpha }$,B and Qβ be the weighted Nevanlinna space, the Bloch space and the Q space, respectively. Note that B and $Q_{\beta }$ are Möbius invariant, but $N_{\alpha }$ is not. We characterize, in function-theoretic terms, when the composition operator $C_{\varphi }f=f◦\varphi$ induced by an analytic self-map ϕ of the unit disk defines an operator $C_{\varphi }:N_{\alpha }\to B$, $B\to Q_{\beta }$, $N_{\alpha }\to Q_{\beta }$ which is bounded resp. compact.

Let ${\left\{\beta \left(n\right)\right\}}_{n=0}^{\mathrm{\infty }}$ be a sequence of positive numbers and $1\le p<\mathrm{\infty }$. We consider the space $H^p\left(\beta \right)$ of all power series $f\left(z\right)={\sum }_{n=0}^{\mathrm{\infty }}\stackrel{⌃}{f}\left(n\right)z^n$ such that ${\sum }_{n=0}^{\mathrm{\infty }}{\left|\stackrel{⌃}{f}\left(n\right)\right|}^p\beta {\left(n\right)}^p<\mathrm{\infty }$ . Suppose that $\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}=1$ and ${\sum }_{n=1}^{\mathrm{\infty }}\frac{n^{qj}}{\beta {\left(n\right)}^q}=\mathrm{\infty }$ for some nonnegative integer $j$. We show that if $C_{\phi }$ is compact on $H^p\left(\beta \right)$, then the non-tangential limit of ${\phi }^{\left(j+1\right)}$ has modulus greater than one at each boundary point of the open unit disc. Also we show that if $C_{\phi }$ is Fredholm on $H_p\left(\beta \right)$, then $\phi$ must be an automorphism of the open unit disc.

The invertible, closed range, compact, Fredholm and isometric composition operators on Musielak-Orlicz spaces of Bochner type are characterized in the paper.

Let Ω ⊂ ℝn be an open set and X(Ω) be any rearrangement invariant function space close to L q(Ω), i.e. X has the q-scaling property. We prove that each homeomorphism f which induces the composition operator u ↦ u ℴ f from W 1 X to W 1 X is necessarily a q-quasiconformal mapping. We also give some new results for the sufficiency of this condition for the composition operator.

In this paper we prove some composition results for strongly summing and dominated operators. As an application we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a multilinear tensor product of multilinear operators to be strongly summing or dominated. Moreover, we show the failure of some possible n-linear versions of Grothendieck’s composition theorem in the case n ≥ 2 and give a new example of a 1-dominated, hence strongly 1-summing bilinear operator which is not weakly compact.

The notion of a compressible operator on a Banach space, E, derives from automatic continuity arguments. It is related to the notion of a cartesian Banach space. The compressible operators on E form an ideal in ℬ(E) and the automatic continuity proofs depend on showing that this ideal is large. In particular, it is shown that each weakly compact operator on the James' space, J, is compressible, whence it follows that all homomorphisms from ℬ(J) are continuous.

This paper studies the compression of a $k$th-order slant Toeplitz operator on the Hardy space $H^2\left({𝕋}^n\right)$ for integers $k\ge 2$ and $n\ge 1$. It also provides a characterization of the compression of a $k$th-order slant Toeplitz operator on $H^2\left({𝕋}^n\right)$. Finally, the paper highlights certain properties, namely isometry, eigenvalues, eigenvectors, spectrum and spectral radius of the compression of $k$th-order slant Toeplitz operator on the Hardy space $H^2\left({𝕋}^n\right)$ of $n$-dimensional torus ${𝕋}^n$.

Using the cone theory and the lattice structure, we establish some methods of computation of the topological degree for the nonlinear operators which are not assumed to be cone mappings. As applications, existence results of nontrivial solutions for singular Sturm-Liouville problems are given. The nonlinearity in the equations can take negative values and may be unbounded from below.

Consider a bifurcation problem, namely, its bifurcation equation. There is a diffeomorphism $\Phi$ linking the actual solution set with an unfolded normal form of the bifurcation equation. The differential $D\Phi \left(0\right)$ of this diffeomorphism is a valuable information for a numerical analysis of the imperfect bifurcation. The aim of this paper is to construct algorithms for a computation of $D\Phi \left(0\right)$. Singularity classes containing bifurcation points with $\mathrm{c}odim\le 3$, $\mathrm{c}orank=1$ are considered.
