In 1971, Allan Sinclair proved that for a hermitian element h of a Banach algebra and λ complex we have ∥λ + h∥ = r(λ + h), where r denotes the spectral radius. Using Levin's subordination theory for entire functions of exponential type, we extend this result locally to a much larger class of generalized spectral operators. This fundamental result improves many earlier results due to Gelfand, Hille, Colojoară-Foiaş, Vidav, Dowson, Dowson-Gillespie-Spain, Crabb-Spain, I. & V. Istrăţescu, Barnes,...

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 ${\sigma }_{dsc}(T+F)={\sigma }_{dsc}\left(T\right)$ 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...
