Some problems of the spectral theory of operator pencils.
Let Ω= [a, b] × [c, d] and T 1, T 2 be partial integral operators in (Ω): (T 1 f)(x, y) = k 1(x, s, y)f(s, y)ds, (T 2 f)(x, y) = k 2(x, ts, y)f(t, y)dt where k 1 and k 2 are continuous functions on [a, b] × Ω and Ω × [c, d], respectively. In this paper, concepts of determinants and minors of operators E−τT 1, τ ∈ ℂ and E−τT 2, τ ∈ ℂ are introduced as continuous functions on [a, b] and [c, d], respectively. Here E is the identical operator in C(Ω). In addition, Theorems on the spectra of bounded...
We give a simple proof of the relation between the spectra of the difference and product of any two idempotents in a Banach algebra. We also give the relation between the spectra of their sum and product.
Burgos, Kaidi, Mbekhta and Oudghiri [J. Operator Theory 56 (2006)] provided an affirmative answer to a question of Kaashoek and Lay and proved that an operator F is of power finite rank if and only if for every operator T commuting with F. Later, several authors extended this result to the essential descent spectrum, left Drazin spectrum and left essential Drazin spectrum. In this paper, using the theory of operators with eventual topological uniform descent and the technique used by Burgos et...
We describe the spectra of Jacobi operators J with some irregular entries. We divide ℝ into three “spectral regions” for J and using the subordinacy method and asymptotic methods based on some particular discrete versions of Levinson’s theorem we prove the absolute continuity in the first region and the pure pointness in the second. In the third region no information is given by the above methods, and we call it the “uncertainty region”. As an illustration, we introduce and analyse the OP family...
We study general Hilbert modules over the disc algebra and exhibit necessary spectral conditions for the vanishing of certain associated extension groups. In particular, this sheds some light on the problem of identifying the projective Hilbert modules. Part of our work also addresses the classical derivation problem.
The iteration subspace method for approximating a few points of the spectrum of a positive linear bounded operator is studied. The behaviour of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the operators arising by this method and their dependence on the initial subspace are described. An application of the Schmidt orthogonalization process for approximate computation of eigenelements of operators is also considered.
In this survey, we summarise some of the recent progress on the structure of spectral isometries between C*-algebras.
