Con riferimento all’operatore integrodifferenziale della viscoelasticità lineare nella formulazione creep, si determina la soluzione fondamentale $E$ in corrispondenza di un’arbitraria funzione di memoria. Di conseguenza viene risolto esplicitamente il problema di Cauchy relativo al moto unidimensionale di un sistema viscoelastico $ℬ$, omogeneo ed isotropo, determinato da dati iniziali e storia di stress comunque prefissati. Successivamente, nell’ambito di opportune ipotesi di memoria labile, si dimostrano...

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 47A45.An estimation of the growth of a non-contracting semigroup Zt = exp(itA) where A is a non-dissipative operator with a two-dimensional imaginary component is given. Estimation is given in terms of the functional model in de Branges space.

We describe the geometric structure of the $ℒ$-characteristic of fractional powers of bounded or compact linear operators over domains with arbitrary measure. The description builds essentially on the Riesz-Thorin and Marcinkiewicz-Stein-Weiss- Ovchinnikov interpolation theorems, as well as on the Krasnosel’skij-Krejn factorization theorem.

Let $𝒜$ be a noncommutative prime ring equipped with an involution ‘$*$’, and let ${𝒬}_{ms}\left(𝒜\right)$ be the maximal symmetric ring of quotients of $𝒜$. Consider the additive maps $\mathscr{H}$ and $𝒯:𝒜\to {𝒬}_{ms}\left(𝒜\right)$. We prove the following under some inevitable torsion restrictions. (a) If $m$ and $n$ are fixed positive integers such that $(m+n)𝒯\left(a^2\right)=m𝒯\left(a\right)a^{*}+na𝒯\left(a\right)$ for all $a\in 𝒜$ and $(m+n)\mathscr{H}\left(a^2\right)=m\mathscr{H}\left(a\right)a^{*}+na𝒯\left(a\right)$ for all $a\in 𝒜$, then $\mathscr{H}=0$. (b) If $𝒯\left(aba\right)=a𝒯\left(b\right)a^{*}$ for all $a,b\in 𝒜$, then $𝒯=0$. Furthermore, we characterize Jordan left $\tau$-centralizers in semiprime rings admitting an anti-automorphism $\tau$. As applications, we find the structure of...

The paper is concerned with conditions guaranteeing that a bounded operator in a reflexive Banach space is a scalar type spectral operator. The cases where the spectrum of the operator lies on the real axis and on the unit circle are studied separately.

A Lur’e feedback control system consisting of a linear, infinite-dimensional system of boundary control in factor form and a nonlinear static sector type controller is considered. A criterion of absolute strong asymptotic stability of the null equilibrium is obtained using a quadratic form Lyapunov functional. The construction of such a functional is reduced to solving a Lur’e system of equations. A sufficient strict circle criterion of solvability of the latter is found, which is based on results...

In this paper, we introduce and study new concepts of b-L-weakly and order M-weakly compact operators. As consequences, we obtain some characterizations of KB-spaces.

We introduce a new class of operators that generalizes L-weakly compact operators, which we call order almost L-weakly compact. We give some characterizations of this class and we show that this class of operators satisfies the domination problem.

We characterize Banach lattices $E$ and $F$ on which the adjoint of each operator from $E$ into $F$ which is order Dunford-Pettis and weak Dunford-Pettis, is Dunford-Pettis. More precisely, we show that if $E$ and $F$ are two Banach lattices then each order Dunford-Pettis and weak Dunford-Pettis operator $T$ from $E$ into $F$ has an adjoint Dunford-Pettis operator $T^{\text{'}}$ from $F^{\text{'}}$ into $E^{\text{'}}$ if, and only if, the norm of $E^{\text{'}}$ is order continuous or $F^{\text{'}}$ has the Schur property. As a consequence we show that, if $E$ and $F$ are two Banach...

One of the major goals in the theory of Toeplitz operators on the Bergman space over the unit disk D in the complex place C is to completely describe the commutant of a given Toeplitz operator, that is, the set of all Toeplitz operators that commute with it. Here we shall study the commutants of a certain class of quasihomogeneous Toeplitz operators defined on the harmonic Bergman space.

We show that a Banach space X has the compact approximation property if and only if for every Banach space Y and every weakly compact operator T: Y → X, the space = S ∘ T: S compact operator on X is an ideal in = span(,T) if and only if for every Banach space Y and every weakly compact operator T: Y → X, there is a net $\left(S_{\gamma }\right)$ of compact operators on X such that $su{p}_{\gamma }\left|\right|S_{\gamma }T\left|\right|\le \left|\right|T\left|\right|$ and $S_{\gamma }\to I_X$ in the strong operator topology. Similar results for dual spaces are also proved.
