We give an elementary proof of the fact that given two polynomials P, Q without common zeros and a linear operator A, the operators P(A) and Q(A) verify some properties equivalent to the pair (P(A),Q(A)) being non-singular in the sense of J.L. Taylor. From these properties we derive expressions for the range and null space of P(A) and spectral mapping theorems for polynomials fo continuous (or closed) operators in Banach spaces.
We show that the numerical index of a -, -, or -sum of Banach spaces is the infimum of the numerical indices of the summands. Moreover, we prove that the spaces C(K,X) and (K any compact Hausdorff space, μ any positive measure) have the same numerical index as the Banach space X. We also observe that these spaces have the so-called Daugavet property whenever X has the Daugavet property.
We introduce new concepts of numerical range and numerical radius of one operator with respect to another one, which generalize in a natural way the known concepts of numerical range and numerical radius. We study basic properties of these new concepts and present some examples.
We derive several numerical radius inequalities for 2 × 2 operator matrices. Numerical radius inequalities for sums and products of operators are given. Applications of our inequalities are also provided.
We present a new method for studying the numerical radius of bounded operators on Hilbert -modules. Our method enables us to obtain some new results and generalize some known theorems for bounded operators on Hilbert spaces to bounded adjointable operators on Hilbert -module spaces.
It is shown that if A is a bounded linear operator on a complex Hilbert space, then 1/4 ||A*A + AA*|| ≤ (w(A))² ≤ 1/2 ||A*A + AA*||, where w(·) and ||·|| are the numerical radius and the usual operator norm, respectively. These inequalities lead to a considerable improvement of the well known inequalities 1/2 ||A|| ≤ w(A) ≤ || A||. Numerical radius inequalities for products and commutators of operators are also obtained.
We give several sharp inequalities involving powers of the numerical radii and the usual operator norms of Hilbert space operators. These inequalities, which are based on some classical convexity inequalities for nonnegative real numbers and some operator inequalities, generalize earlier numerical radius inequalities.
The aim of the paper is to propose a definition of numerical range of an operator on reflexive Banach spaces. Under this definition the numerical range will possess the basic properties of a canonical numerical range. We will determine necessary and sufficient conditions under which the numerical range of a composition operator on a weighted Hardy space is closed. We will also give some necessary conditions to show that when the closure of the numerical range of a composition operator on a small...
This paper is a short survey on the numerical range of some composition operators. The first part is devoted to composition operators on the Hilbert Hardy space H2 on the unit disk. The results are due to P. Bourdon, J. Shapiro and V. Matache.In the second part we study the numerical range of composition operators on the Hilbert space H2 of Dirichlet series. These results are due to H. Queffélec and the author.The third part is devoted to compactness connected with fixed points in the setting of...
The goal of this article is to analyze the observability properties for a space semi-discrete approximation scheme derived from a mixed finite element method of the 1d wave equation on nonuniform meshes. More precisely, we prove that observability properties hold uniformly with respect to the mesh-size under some assumptions, which, roughly, measures the lack of uniformity of the meshes, thus extending the work [Castro and Micu, Numer. Math.102 (2006) 413–462] to nonuniform meshes. Our results...
The main goal of this paper is to clarify the antisymmetric nature of a binary relation ≪ which is defined for normal operators A and B by: A ≪ B if there exists an operator T such that for all Borel subset Δ of the complex plane ℂ, where and are spectral measures of A and B, respectively (the operators A and B are allowed to act in different complex Hilbert spaces). It is proved that if A ≪ B and B ≪ A, then A and B are unitarily equivalent, which shows that the relation ≪ is a partial order...
