Multiplication operators on weighted spaces of continuous functions.
Let be a Banach space of dimension and be a standard operator algebra. In the present paper it is shown that if a mapping (not necessarily linear) satisfies for all , then , where is an additive derivation of and vanishes at second commutator for all . Moreover, if is linear and satisfies the above relation, then there exists an operator and a linear mapping from into satisfying for all , such that for all .
Let be a complex, separable Hilbert space of finite or infinite dimension, and let ℬ() be the algebra of all bounded operators on . It is shown that if φ: ℬ() → ℬ() is a multiplicative map(not assumed linear) and if φ is sufficiently close to a linear automorphism of ℬ() in some uniform sense, then it is actually an automorphism; as such, there is an invertible operator S in ℬ() such that for all A in ℬ(). When is finite-dimensional, similar results are obtained with the mere assumption that there...
L. de Branges has originated a viewpoint one of whose repercussions has been the detailed analysis of certain Hilbert spaces of holomorphic functions contained within the Hardy space H2 of the unit disk (...).
Let A and B be Banach function algebras on compact Hausdorff spaces X and Y and let ‖.‖X and ‖.‖Y denote the supremum norms on X and Y, respectively. We first establish a result concerning a surjective map T between particular subsets of the uniform closures of A and B, preserving multiplicatively the norm, i.e. ‖Tf Tg‖Y = ‖fg‖X, for certain elements f and g in the domain. Then we show that if α ∈ ℂ 0 and T: A → B is a surjective, not necessarily linear, map satisfying ‖fg + α‖X = ‖Tf Tg + α‖Y,...
In this paper, we prove some multiplicity results for sign-changing solutions of an operator equation in an ordered Banach space. The methods to show the main results of the paper are to associate a fixed point index with a strict upper or lower solution. The results can be applied to a wide variety of boundary value problems to obtain multiplicity results for sign-changing solutions.
