In this paper we characterize the class of polynomially Riesz strongly continuous semigroups on a Banach space $X$. Our main results assert, in particular, that the generators of such semigroups are either polynomially Riesz (then bounded) or there exist two closed infinite dimensional invariant subspaces $X_0$ and $X_1$ of $X$ with $X=X_0\oplus X_1$ such that the part of the generator in $X_0$ is unbounded with resolvent of Riesz type while its part in $X_1$ is a polynomially Riesz operator.

We show that for a linear space of operators $ℳ\subseteq ℬ({\mathscr{H}}_1,{\mathscr{H}}_2)$ the following assertions are equivalent. (i) $ℳ$ is reflexive in the sense of Loginov-Shulman. (ii) There exists an order-preserving map $\Psi =({\psi }_1,{\psi }_2)$ on a bilattice $\mathrm{Bil}\left(ℳ\right)$ of subspaces determined by $ℳ$ with $P\le {\psi }_1(P,Q)$ and $Q\le {\psi }_2(P,Q)$ for any pair $(P,Q)\in \mathrm{Bil}\left(ℳ\right)$, and such that an operator $T\in ℬ({\mathscr{H}}_1,{\mathscr{H}}_2)$ lies in $ℳ$ if and only if ${\psi }_2(P,Q)T{\psi }_1(P,Q)=0$ for all $(P,Q)\in \mathrm{Bil}\left(ℳ\right)$. This extends the Erdos-Power type characterization of weakly closed bimodules over a nest algebra to reflexive spaces.

We characterize some S-essential spectra of a closed linear relation in terms of certain linear relations of semi-Fredholm type.

In this article the essential spectrum of closed, densely defined linear operators is characterized on a large class of spaces, which possess the Dunford-Pettis property or which isomorphic to one of the spaces $L_p\left(\mathrm{\Omega }\right)$$p>1$. A practical...

Let G be a locally compact abelian group and M(G) its measure algebra. Two measures μ and λ are said to be equivalent if there exists an invertible measure ϖ such that ϖ*μ = λ. The main result of this note is the following: A measure μ is invertible iff |μ̂| ≥ ε on Ĝ for some ε > 0 and μ is equivalent to a measure λ of the form λ = a + θ, where a ∈ L¹(G) and θ ∈ M(G) is an idempotent measure.

Given a domain $\Omega$ of class $C^{k,1}$, $k\in \mathbb{N}$, we construct a chart that maps normals to the boundary of the half space to normals to the boundary of $\Omega$ in the sense that $(\partial -\partial x_n)\alpha (x^{\text{'}},0)=-N\left(x^{\text{'}}\right)$ and that still is of class $C^{k,1}$. As an application we prove the existence of a continuous extension operator for all normal derivatives of order 0 to $k$ on domains of class $C^{k,1}$. The construction of this operator is performed in weighted function spaces where the weight function is taken from the class of Muckenhoupt weights.
