Asymptotic behaviour in the set of nonhomogeneous chains of stochastic operators

Małgorzata Pułka (2012)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

We study different types of asymptotic behaviour in the set of (infinite dimensional) nonhomogeneous chains of stochastic operators acting on L¹(μ) spaces. In order to examine its structure we consider different norm and strong operator topologies. To describe the nature of the set of nonhomogeneous chains of Markov operators with a particular limit behaviour we use the category theorem of Baire. We show that the geometric structure of the set of those stochastic operators which have asymptotically...

Averages of unitary representations and weak mixing of random walks

Michael Lin, Rainer Wittmann (1995)

Studia Mathematica

Let S be a locally compact (σ-compact) group or semigroup, and let T(t) be a continuous representation of S by contractions in a Banach space X. For a regular probability μ on S, we study the convergence of the powers of the μ-average Ux = ʃ T(t)xdμ(t). Our main results for random walks on a group G are: (i) The following are equivalent for an adapted regular probability on G: μ is strictly aperiodic; U n converges weakly for every continuous unitary representation of G; U is weakly mixing for any...

Averaging theorems for linear operators in compact groups and semigroups

G. Murphy, T. West (1997)

Studia Mathematica

The Weyl criterion for uniform distribution of a sequence has an especially simple form in compact abelian groups. The authors use this and the structure of compact monothetic groups and semigroups to generalise the convergence, under certain compactness conditions, of the operator averages: n - 1 k = 1 n T k P ( n ) where P is a projection associated with the eigenvalue one of T.

Banach principle in the space of τ-measurable operators

Michael Goldstein, Semyon Litvinov (2000)

Studia Mathematica

We establish a non-commutative analog of the classical Banach Principle on the almost everywhere convergence of sequences of measurable functions. The result is stated in terms of quasi-uniform (or almost uniform) convergence of sequences of measurable (with respect to a trace) operators affiliated with a semifinite von Neumann algebra. Then we discuss possible applications of this result.

Borel methods of summability and ergodic theorems

Ryszard Jajte (2002)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Passing from Cesàro means to Borel-type methods of summability we prove some ergodic theorem for operators (acting in a Banach space) with spectrum contained in ℂ∖(1,∞).

Characterizing Fréchet-Schwartz spaces via power bounded operators

Angela A. Albanese, José Bonet, Werner J. Ricker (2014)

Studia Mathematica

We characterize Köthe echelon spaces (and, more generally, those Fréchet spaces with an unconditional basis) which are Schwartz, in terms of the convergence of the Cesàro means of power bounded operators defined on them. This complements similar known characterizations of reflexive and of Fréchet-Montel spaces with a basis. Every strongly convergent sequence of continuous linear operators on a Fréchet-Schwartz space does so in a special way. We single out this type of "rapid convergence" for a sequence...

Conjugacies between ergodic transformations and their inverses

Geoffrey Goodson (2000)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We study certain symmetries that arise when automorphisms S and T defined on a Lebesgue probability space (X, ℱ, μ) satisfy the equation S T = T - 1 S . In an earlier paper [6] it was shown that this puts certain constraints on the spectrum of T. Here we show that it also forces constraints on the spectrum of S 2 . In particular, S 2 has to have a multiplicity function which only takes even values on the orthogonal complement of the subspace f L 2 ( X , , μ ) : f ( T 2 x ) = f ( x ) . For S and T ergodic satisfying this equation further constraints arise,...

Convergence of iterates of linear operators and the Kelisky-Rivlin type theorems

Jacek Jachymski (2009)

Studia Mathematica

Let X be a Banach space and T ∈ L(X), the space of all bounded linear operators on X. We give a list of necessary and sufficient conditions for the uniform stability of T, that is, for the convergence of the sequence ( T ) n of iterates of T in the uniform topology of L(X). In particular, T is uniformly stable iff for some p ∈ ℕ, the restriction of the pth iterate of T to the range of I-T is a Banach contraction. Our proof is elementary: It uses simple facts from linear algebra, and the Banach Contraction...
