A recurrence relation for the computation of the $L_p$-norms of an Hermitian Fredholm integral operator is derived and an expression giving approximately the number of eigenvalues which in absolute value are equal to the spectral radius is determined. Using the $L_p$-norms for the approximation of the spectral radius of this operator an a priori and an a posteriori bound for the error are obtained. Some properties of the a posteriori bound are discussed.

In this paper, we minimize the map Fp (X)= ||S−(AX−XB)||Pp , where the pair (A, B) has the property (F P )Cp , S ∈ Cp , X varies such that AX − XB ∈ Cp and Cp denotes the von Neumann-Schatten class.

Also we give some applications of this result.

We deal with several classes of integral transformations of the form $$f\left(x\right)\to D{\int }_{{ℝ}_{+}^2}\frac{1}{u}({\mathrm{e}}^{-ucosh(x+v)}+{\mathrm{e}}^{-ucosh(x-v)})h\left(u\right)f\left(v\right)\mathrm{d}u\mathrm{d}v,$$ where $D$ is an operator. In case $D$ is the identity operator, we obtain several operator properties on $L_p\left({ℝ}_{+}\right)$ with weights for a generalized operator related to the Fourier cosine and the Kontorovich-Lebedev integral transforms. For a class of differential operators of infinite order, we prove the unitary property of these transforms on $L_2\left({ℝ}_{+}\right)$ and define the inversion formula. Further, for an other class of differential operators of finite...

We show that the essential spectral radius ${\varrho }_e\left(T\right)$ of T ∈ B(H) can be calculated by the formula ${\varrho }_e\left(T\right)$ = inf${ℱ}_{♯·♯}\left(XT{X}^{-1}\right)$: X an invertible operator, where ${ℱ}_{♯·♯}\left(T\right)$ is a Φ₁-perturbation function introduced by Mbekhta [J. Operator Theory 51 (2004)]. Also, we show that if ${}_{♯·♯}\left(T\right)$ is a Φ₂-perturbation function [loc. cit.] and if T is a Fredholm operator, then $dist(0,{\sigma }_e\left(T\right))$ = sup${}_{♯·♯}\left(XT{X}^{-1}\right)$: X an invertible operator.

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 47B47, 47B10; Secondary 47A30.Let H be a separable infinite dimensional complex Hilbert space and let L(H) denote the algebra of all bounded linear operators on H into itself. Given A ∈ L(H), the derivation δA : L(H)→ L(H) is defined by δA(X) = AX-XA. In this paper we prove that if A is an n-multicyclic hyponormal operator and T is hyponormal such that AT = TA, then || δA(X)+T|| ≥ ||T|| for all X ∈ L(H). We establish the same inequality if A is...

Let $L\left(H\right)$ denote the algebra of operators on a complex infinite dimensional Hilbert space $H$. For $A,B\in L\left(H\right)$, the generalized derivation ${\delta }_{A,B}$ and the elementary operator ${\Delta }_{A,B}$ are defined by ${\delta }_{A,B}\left(X\right)=AX-XB$ and ${\Delta }_{A,B}\left(X\right)=AXB-X$ for all $X\in L\left(H\right)$. In this paper, we exhibit pairs $(A,B)$ of operators such that the range-kernel orthogonality of ${\delta }_{A,B}$ holds for the usual operator norm. We generalize some recent results. We also establish some theorems on the orthogonality of the range and the kernel of ${\Delta }_{A,B}$ with respect to the wider class of unitarily invariant norms on...

We give an inequality relating the operator norm of T and the numerical radii of T and its Aluthge transform. It is a more precise estimate of the numerical radius than Kittaneh's result [Studia Math. 158 (2003)]. Then we obtain an equivalent condition for the numerical radius to be equal to half the operator norm.
