The notion of convergence in the generalized sense of a sequence of closed operators is generalized to the situation where the closed operators involved are affiliated with a Banach algebra of operators. Also, the concept of convergence in the generalized sense is extended to the context of a LMC-algebra, where it applies to the spectral theory of the algebra.
Let A be a Banach *-algebra which is a subalgebra of a Banach algebra B. In this paper, assuming that A is symmetric, various conditions are given which imply that A is inverse closed in B.
Let ℬ be a Banach algebra of bounded linear operators on a Banach space X. Let S be a closed linear operator in X, and let R be a linear operator in X. In this paper the spectral and Fredholm theory relative to ℬ of the perturbed operator S + R is developed. In particular, the situation where R is S-inessential relative to ℬ is studied. Several examples are given to illustrate the usefulness of these concepts.
Let ℬ be a Banach algebra of bounded linear operators on a Banach space X. If S is a closed operator in X such that (λ - S)^{-1} ∈ ℬ for some number λ, then S is affiliated with ℬ. The object of this paper is to study the spectral theory and Fredholm theory relative to ℬ of an operator which is affiliated with ℬ. Also, applications are given to semigroups of operators which are contained in ℬ.
The space of inessential bounded linear operators from one Banach space into another is introduced. This space, , is a subspace of which generalizes Kleinecke’s ideal of inessential operators. For certain subspaces of , it is shown that when has a generalized inverse modulo , then there exists a projection such that has a generalized inverse and .
Under some mild assumptions, non-linear diameter-preserving bijections between (vector-valued) function spaces are characterized with the help of a well-known theorem of Ulam and Mazur. A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a diameter-preserving bijection between function spaces in the complex scalar case is derived, and a complete description of such maps is given in several important cases.
