We study Kalton's theorem on the unconditional convergence of series of compact operators and we use some matrix techniques to obtain sufficient conditions, weaker than the previous one, on the convergence and unconditional convergence of series of compact operators.

We investigate the generalized Drazin inverse and the generalized resolvent in Banach algebras. The Laurent expansion of the generalized resolvent in Banach algebras is introduced. The Drazin index of a Banach algebra element is characterized in terms of the existence of a particularly chosen limit process. As an application, the computing of the Moore-Penrose inverse in $C^{*}$-algebras is considered. We investigate the generalized Drazin inverse as an outer inverse with prescribed range and kernel....

In this article, two results regarding the Moore-Penrose inverse in the frame of C*-algebras are considered. In first place, a characterization of the so-called reverse order law is given, which provides a solution of a problem posed by M. Mbekhta. On the other hand, Moore-Penrose hermitian elements, that is C*-algebra elements which coincide with their Moore-Penrose inverse, are introduced and studied. In fact, these elements will be fully characterized both in the Hilbert space and in the C*-algebra...

Let A and B be two -non necessarily bounded- normal operators. We give new conditions making their product normal. We also generalize a result by Deutsch et al on normal products of matrices.

Let $X$ be a reflexive Banach space and $A$ be a closed operator in an $L_1$-space of $X$-valued functions. Then we characterize the range $R\left(A\right)$ of $A$ as follows. Let $0\ne {\lambda }_n\in \rho \left(A\right)$ for all $1\le n<\infty$, where $\rho \left(A\right)$ denotes the resolvent set of $A$, and assume that ${lim}_{n\to \infty }{\lambda }_n=0$ and ${sup}_{n\ge 1}\parallel {\lambda }_n{({\lambda }_n-A)}^{-1}\parallel <\infty$. Furthermore, assume that there exists ${\lambda }_{\infty }\in \rho \left(A\right)$ such that $\parallel {\lambda }_{\infty }{({\lambda }_{\infty }-A)}^{-1}\parallel \le 1$. Then $f\in R\left(A\right)$ is equivalent to ${sup}_{n\ge 1}{\parallel {({\lambda }_n-A)}^{-1}f\parallel }_1<\infty$. This generalizes Shaw’s result for scalar-valued functions.

We give several conditions implying that the spectral bound of the generator of a $C_0$-semigroup is negative. Applications to stability theory are considered.

We show that the Moore-Penrose inverse of an operator T is idempotent if and only if it is a product of two projections. Furthermore, if P and Q are two projections, we find a relation between the entries of the associated operator matrix of PQ and the entries of associated operator matrix of the Moore-Penrose inverse of PQ in a certain orthogonal decomposition of Hilbert C*-modules.

Let T be a bounded linear operator on a (real or complex) Banach space X. If (aₙ) is a sequence of non-negative numbers tending to 0, then the set of x ∈ X such that ||Tⁿx|| ≥ aₙ||Tⁿ|| for infinitely many n’s has a complement which is both σ-porous and Haar-null. We also compute (for some classical Banach space) optimal exponents q > 0 such that for every non-nilpotent operator T, there exists x ∈ X such that $\left(\right|\left|Tⁿx\right||/\left|\right|Tⁿ\left|\right|)\notin {\ell }^q\left(\mathbb{N}\right)$, using techniques which involve the modulus of asymptotic uniform smoothness of X.
