Extending previous results of H. Salas we obtain a characterisation of hypercyclic weighted shifts on an arbitrary F-sequence space in which the canonical unit vectors form a Schauder basis. If the basis is unconditional we give a characterisation of those hypercyclic weighted shifts that are even chaotic.
We show that under no hypotheses on the density of the ranges of the mappings involved, an almost-commuting sequence (Tₙ) of operators on an F-space X satisfies the Hypercyclicity Criterion if and only if it has a hereditarily hypercyclic subsequence , and if and only if the sequence (Tₙ ⊕ Tₙ) is hypercyclic on X × X. This strengthens and extends a recent result due to Bès and Peris. We also find a new characterization of the Hypercyclicity Criterion in terms of a condition introduced by Godefroy...
