Extremal perturbations of semi-Fredholm operators

Thorsten Kröncke (1998)

Studia Mathematica

Let T be a bounded operator on an infinite-dimensional Banach space X and Ω a compact subset of the semi-Fredholm domain of T. We construct a finite rank perturbation F such that min[dim N(T+F-λ), codim R(T+F-λ)] = 0 for all λ ∈ Ω, and which is extremal in the sense that F² = 0 and rank F = max{min[dim N(T-λ), codim R(T-λ)] : λ ∈ Ω.

Finite-rank perturbations of positive operators and isometries

Man-Duen Choi, Pei Yuan Wu (2006)

Studia Mathematica

We completely characterize the ranks of A - B and A 1 / 2 - B 1 / 2 for operators A and B on a Hilbert space satisfying A ≥ B ≥ 0. Namely, let l and m be nonnegative integers or infinity. Then l = rank(A - B) and m = r a n k ( A 1 / 2 - B 1 / 2 ) for some operators A and B with A ≥ B ≥ 0 on a Hilbert space of dimension n (1 ≤ n ≤ ∞) if and only if l = m = 0 or 0 < l ≤ m ≤ n. In particular, this answers in the negative the question posed by C. Benhida whether for positive operators A and B the finiteness of rank(A - B) implies that of r a n k ( A 1 / 2 - B 1 / 2 ) . For...

Fractional Laplacian with singular drift

Tomasz Jakubowski (2011)

Studia Mathematica

For α ∈ (1,2) we consider the equation t u = Δ α / 2 u + b · u , where b is a time-independent, divergence-free singular vector field of the Morrey class M 1 - α . We show that if the Morrey norm | | b | | M 1 - α is sufficiently small, then the fundamental solution is globally in time comparable with the density of the isotropic stable process.

Functions of operators and their commutators in perturbation theory

Yu. Farforovskaya (1994)

Banach Center Publications

This paper shows some directions of perturbation theory for Lipschitz functions of selfadjoint and normal operators, without giving precise proofs. Some of the ideas discussed are explained informally or for the finite-dimensional case. Several unsolved problems are mentioned.

Generalized quadratic operators and perturbations

Khalid Souilah (2022)

Mathematica Bohemica

We provide a complete description of the perturbation class and the commuting perturbation class of all generalized quadratic bounded operators with respect to a given idempotent bounded operator in the context of complex Banach spaces. Furthermore, we give simple characterizations of the generalized quadraticity of linear combinations of two generalized quadratic bounded operators with respect to a given idempotent bounded operator.

Global minimizer of the ground state for two phase conductors in low contrast regime

Antoine Laurain (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The problem of distributing two conducting materials with a prescribed volume ratio in a ball so as to minimize the first eigenvalue of an elliptic operator with Dirichlet conditions is considered in two and three dimensions. The gap ε between the two conductivities is assumed to be small (low contrast regime). The main result of the paper is to show, using asymptotic expansions with respect to ε and to small geometric perturbations of the optimal shape, that the global minimum of the first eigenvalue...

Identification problems for degenerate parabolic equations

Fadi Awawdeh, Hamed M. Obiedat (2013)

Applications of Mathematics

This paper deals with multivalued identification problems for parabolic equations. The problem consists of recovering a source term from the knowledge of an additional observation of the solution by exploiting some accessible measurements. Semigroup approach and perturbation theory for linear operators are used to treat the solvability in the strong sense of the problem. As an important application we derive the corresponding existence, uniqueness, and continuous dependence results for different...
