We study several aspects of a generalized Perron-Frobenius and Krein-Rutman theorems concerning spectral properties of a (possibly unbounded) linear operator on a cone in a Banach space. The operator is subject to the so-called tangency or weak range assumptions implying the resolvent invariance of the cone. The further assumptions rely on relations between the spectral and essential spectral bounds of the operator. In general we do not assume that the cone induces the Banach lattice structure into...

For a smooth curve $\Gamma$ and a set $\Lambda$ in the plane ${ℝ}^2$, let $AC(\Gamma ;\Lambda )$ be the space of finite Borel measures in the plane supported on $\Gamma$, absolutely continuous with respect to the arc length and whose Fourier transform vanishes on $\Lambda$. Following [12], we say that $(\Gamma ,\Lambda )$ is a Heisenberg uniqueness pair if $AC(\Gamma ;\Lambda )=\left\{0\right\}$. In the context of a hyperbola $\Gamma$, the study of Heisenberg uniqueness pairs is the same as looking for uniqueness sets $\Lambda$ of a collection of solutions to the Klein-Gordon equation. In this work, we mainly address the...

We extend an example of B. Aupetit, which illustrates spectral discontinuity for operators on an infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert space, to a general spectral discontinuity result in abstract Banach algebras. This can then be used to show that given any Banach algebra, Y, one may adjoin to Y a non-commutative inessential ideal, I, so that in the resulting algebra, A, the following holds: To each x ∈ Y whose spectrum separates the plane there corresponds a perturbation of x, of the form z =...

On obtient un théorème général concernant la perturbation multiplicative par un opérateur (linéaire borné, mais pas forcément d’inverse borné), du générateur d’un semi-groupe fortement continu sur un espace de Banach. On en déduit un résultat intimement lié au changement de temps dans les processus de Markov, qui étend un théorème de Dorroh (et résout par l’affirmative la seule situation qui restait en doute dans le contexte du théorème de Dorroh cité). Comme exemple d’autres possibilités d’application,...

In analogy to the analyticity condition $\parallel A{e}^{tA}\parallel \le C{t}^{-1}$, t > 0, for a continuous time semigroup ${\left(e^{tA}\right)}_{t\ge 0}$, a bounded operator T is called analytic if the discrete time semigroup ${\left(T^n\right)}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ satisfies $\parallel (T-I)T^n\parallel \le C{n}^{-1}$, n ∈ ℕ. We generalize O. Nevanlinna’s characterization of powerbounded and analytic operators T to the following perturbation result: if S is a perturbation of T such that $\parallel R({\lambda }_0,T)-R({\lambda }_0,S)\parallel$ is small enough for some ${\lambda }_0\in \varrho \left(T\right)\cap \varrho \left(S\right)$, then the type $\omega$ of the semigroup $\left(e^{t(S-I)}\right)$ also controls the analyticity of S in the sense that $\parallel (S-I)S^n\parallel \le C(\omega +n^{-1})e^{\omega n}$, n ∈ ℕ. As an application we generalize...

The aim of this paper is to find estimates of the Hausdorff distance between the spectra of two nonselfadjoint operators. The operators considered are assumed to have their imaginary parts in some normed ideal of compact operators. In the case of the classical Schatten ideals the estimates are given explicitly.

It was shown that the space of Toeplitz operators perturbated by finite rank operators is 2-hyperreflexive.
