Let $T$ be a locally compact Hausdorff space and let $C_0\left(T\right)$ be the Banach space of all complex valued continuous functions vanishing at infinity in $T$, provided with the supremum norm. Let $X$ be a quasicomplete locally convex Hausdorff space. A simple proof of the theorem on regular Borel extension of $X$-valued $\sigma$-additive Baire measures on $T$ is given, which is more natural and direct than the existing ones. Using this result the integral representation and weak compactness of a continuous linear map $u{C}_0\left(T\right)\to X$ when...

We present an iterative method based on an infinite dimensional adaptation of the successive overrelaxation (SOR) algorithm for solving the 2-D neutron transport equation. In a wide range of application, the neutron transport operator admits a Self-Adjoint and m-Accretive Splitting (SAS). This splitting leads to an ADI-like iterative method which converges unconditionally and is equivalent to a fixed point problem where the operator is a 2 by 2 matrix...

The operator $L_0:D_{L_0}\subset H\to H$, $L_{0}u=\frac{1}{r}\frac{d}{dr}\left\{r\frac{d}{dr}\left[\frac{1}{r}\frac{d}{dr}\left(r\frac{du}{dr}\right)\right]\right\}$, $D_{L_0}=\{u\in C^4\left([0,R]\right),u^{\text{'}}\left(0\right)=u^{\text{'}\text{'}\text{'}\text{'}}\left(0\right)=0,u\left(R\right)=u^{\text{'}}\left(R\right)=0\}$, $H=L_{2,r}(0,R)$ is shown to be essentially self-adjoint, positive definite with a compact resolvent. The conditions on $L_0$ (in fact, on a general symmetric operator) are given so as to justify the application of the Fourier method for solving the problems of the types $L_{0}u=g$ and $u_{tt}+L_{0}u=g$, respectively.

For operators generated by a certain class of infinite three-diagonal matrices with matrix elements we establish a characterization of the resolvent set in terms of polynomial solutions of the underlying second order finite-difference equations. This enables us to describe some asymptotic behavior of the corresponding systems of vector orthogonal polynomials on the resolvent set. We also find that the operators generated by infinite Jacobi matrices have the largest resolvent set in this class.

Let W be an operator weight taking values almost everywhere in the bounded positive invertible linear operators on a separable Hilbert space . We show that if W and its inverse $W^{-1}$ both satisfy a matrix reverse Hölder property introduced by Christ and Goldberg, then the weighted Hilbert transform $H:L{²}_W(ℝ,)\to L{²}_W(ℝ,)$ and also all weighted dyadic martingale transforms $T_{\sigma }:L{²}_W(ℝ,)\to L{²}_W(ℝ,)$ are bounded. We also show that this condition is not necessary for the boundedness of the weighted Hilbert transform.
