Polylogarithms and arithmetic function spaces
Polynomial approximations and universality
We give another version of the recently developed abstract theory of universal series to exhibit a necessary and sufficient condition of polynomial approximation type for the existence of universal elements. This certainly covers the case of simultaneous approximation with a sequence of continuous linear mappings. In the case of a sequence of unbounded operators the same condition ensures existence and density of universal elements. Several known results, stronger statements or new results can be...
Power-bounded elements and radical Banach algebras
Firstly, we give extensions of results of Gelfand, Esterle and Katznelson--Tzafriri on power-bounded operators. Secondly, some results and questions relating to power-bounded elements in the unitization of a commutative radical Banach algebra are discussed.
