An approximative solution of the generalized eigenvalue problem
Let X be a Banach space and let T be a bounded linear operator acting on X. Atkinson's well known theorem says that T is a Fredholm operator if and only if its projection in the algebra L(X)/F₀(X) is invertible, where F₀(X) is the ideal of finite rank operators in the algebra L(X) of bounded linear operators acting on X. In the main result of this paper we establish an Atkinson-type theorem for B-Fredholm operators. More precisely we prove that T is a B-Fredholm operator if and only if its projection...
We derive a formula for the index of Fredholm chains on normed spaces.
Let T be a spherical 2-expansive m-tuple and let denote its spherical Cauchy dual. If is commuting then the inequality holds for every positive integer k. In case m = 1, this reveals the rather curious fact that all positive integral powers of the Cauchy dual of a 2-expansive (or concave) operator are hyponormal.
The Invariant Subspace Problem for Hilbert spaces is a long-standing question and the use of universal operators in the sense of Rota has been an important tool for studying such important problem. In this survey, we focus on Rota’s universal operators, pointing out their main properties and exhibiting some old and recent examples.
We construct a semigroup of bounded idempotents with no nontrivial invariant closed subspace. This answers a question which was open for some time.
