A moment sequence in the q-world

Anna Kula (2007)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

The aim of the paper is to present some initial results about a possible generalization of moment sequences to a so-called q-calculus. A characterization of such a q-analogue in terms of appropriate positivity conditions is also investigated. Using the result due to Maserick and Szafraniec, we adapt a classical description of Hausdorff moment sequences in terms of positive definiteness and complete monotonicity to the q-situation. This makes a link between q-positive definiteness and...

Extensions of symmetric operators I: The inner characteristic function case

R.T.W. Martin (2015)

Concrete Operators

Similarity:

Given a symmetric linear transformation on a Hilbert space, a natural problem to consider is the characterization of its set of symmetric extensions. This problem is equivalent to the study of the partial isometric extensions of a fixed partial isometry. We provide a new function theoretic characterization of the set of all self-adjoint extensions of any symmetric linear transformation B with finite equal indices and inner Livšic characteristic function θB by constructing a bijection...

Generalized D-Symmetric Operators I

Bouali, S., Ech-chad, M. (2008)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary: 47B47, 47B10; secondary 47A30. Let H be an infinite-dimensional complex Hilbert space and let A, B ∈ L(H), where L(H) is the algebra of operators on H into itself. Let δAB: L(H) → L(H) denote the generalized derivation δAB(X) = AX − XB. This note will initiate a study on the class of pairs (A,B) such that [‾(R(δAB))] = [‾(R(δB*A*))]; i.e. [‾(R(δAB))] is self-adjoint.

Backward extensions of hyperexpansive operators

Zenon J. Jabłoński, Il Bong Jung, Jan Stochel (2006)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

The concept of k-step full backward extension for subnormal operators is adapted to the context of completely hyperexpansive operators. The question of existence of k-step full backward extension is solved within this class of operators with the help of an operator version of the Levy-Khinchin formula. Some new phenomena in comparison with subnormal operators are found and related classes of operators are discussed as well.

The complete hyperexpansivity analog of the Embry conditions

Ameer Athavale (2003)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

The Embry conditions are a set of positivity conditions that characterize subnormal operators (on Hilbert spaces) whose theory is closely related to the theory of positive definite functions on the additive semigroup ℕ of non-negative integers. Completely hyperexpansive operators are the negative definite counterpart of subnormal operators. We show that completely hyperexpansive operators are characterized by a set of negativity conditions, which are the natural analog of the Embry conditions...

A general framework for extending means to higher orders

Jimmie Lawson, Yongdo Lim (2008)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Although there is an extensive literature on various means of two positive operators and their applications, these means do not typically readily extend to means of three and more operators. It has been an open problem to define and prove the existence of these higher order means in a general setting. In this paper we lay the foundations for such a theory by showing how higher order means can be inductively defined and established in general metric spaces, in particular, in convex metric...
