On invariant elements for positive operators.
In the paper we study the existence of nonzero positive invariant elements for positive operators in Riesz spaces. The class of Riesz spaces for which the results are valid is large enough to contain all the Banach lattices with order continuous norms. All the results obtained in earlier works deal with positive operators in KB-spaces and in many of them the approach is based upon the use of Banach limits. The methods created for KB-spaces cannot be extended to our more general setting; that is...
