We consider numerical approximation to the solution of non-autonomous evolution equations. The order of convergence of the simplest possible Magnus method is investigated.

The spectral problem (s²I - ϕ(V)*ϕ(V))f = 0 for an arbitrary complex polynomial ϕ of the classical Volterra operator V in L₂(0,1) is considered. An equivalent boundary value problem for a differential equation of order 2n, n = deg(ϕ), is constructed. In the case ϕ(z) = 1 + az the singular numbers are explicitly described in terms of roots of a transcendental equation, their localization and asymptotic behavior is investigated, and an explicit formula for the ||I + aV||₂ is given. For all a ≠ 0 this...

We study the numerical radius of Lipschitz operators on Banach spaces. We give its basic properties. Our main result is a characterization of finite-dimensional real Banach spaces with Lipschitz numerical index 1. We also explicitly compute the Lipschitz numerical index of some classical Banach spaces.

Let T be a power-bounded operator on a (real or complex) Banach space. We study the convergence of the one-sided ergodic Hilbert transform $li{m}_n{\sum }_{k=1}^n\left(T^{k}x\right)/k$. We prove that weak and strong convergence are equivalent, and in a reflexive space also $su{p}_n\left|\right|{\sum }_{k=1}^n\left(T^{k}x\right)/k\left|\right|<\infty$ is equivalent to the convergence. We also show that $-{\sum }_{k=1}^{\infty }\left(T^k\right)/k$ (which converges on (I-T)X) is precisely the infinitesimal generator of the semigroup ${(I-T)}_{|\overline{(I-T)X}}^r$.

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 47A48, Secondary 60G12In this work we present the operators Aγ = γA + -γA with Re γ = 1/2 in the case of an operator A from the class of nondissipative operators generating nonselfadjoint curves, whose correlation functions have a limit as t → ±∞. The asympthotics of the stationary curves e^(itAγ)f as t → ±∞ onto the absolutely continuous subspace of Aγ are obtained. These asymptotics and the obtained asymptotics in [9] of the nondissipative curves...

We prove a number of fundamental facts about the canonical order on projections in C*-algebras of real rank zero. Specifically, we show that this order is separative and that arbitrary countable collections have equivalent (in terms of their lower bounds) decreasing sequences. Under the further assumption that the order is countably downwards closed, we show how to characterize greatest lower bounds of finite collections of projections, and their existence, using the norm and spectrum of simple...

We establish necessary and sufficient conditions under which the linear span of positive AM-compact operators (in the sense of Fremlin) from a Banach lattice $E$ into a Banach lattice $F$ is an order $\sigma$-complete vector lattice.

Si considera, in uno spazio di Hilbert $H$ l'operatore lineare ${\mathfrak{M}}_0\phi =1/2\text{Tr}\left[D^2\phi \right]+〈x,AD\phi 〉-〈DU\left(x\right),D\phi 〉$, dove $A$ è un operatore negative autoaggiunto e $U$ è un potenziale che soddisfa a opportune condizioni di integrabilità. Si dimostra con un metodo analitico che ${\mathfrak{M}}_0$ è essenzialmente autoaggiunto in uno spazio $L^2\left(H,\nu \right)$ e si caratterizza il dominio della sua chiusura $\mathfrak{M}$ come sottospazio di $W^{2,2}\left(H,\nu \right)$. Si studia inoltre la «spectral gap property» del semigruppo generato da $\mathfrak{M}$.

We consider the $p$-Laplacian operator on a domain equipped with a Finsler metric. We recall relevant properties of its first eigenfunction for finite $p$ and investigate the limit problem as $p\to \infty$.

We give a new proof, based on analytic semigroup methods, of a maximal regularity result concerning the classical Cauchy-Dirichlet's boundary value problem for second order parabolic equations. More specifically, we find necessary and sufficient conditions on the data in order to have a strict solution $u$ which is bounded with values in $C^{2+\theta }\left(\overline{\mathrm{\Omega }}\right)$(0 < < 1), with${\partial }_{t}u$ bounded with values in $C^{\theta }\left(\overline{\mathrm{\Omega }}\right)$.
