Let E be a Banach space. We consider a Cauchy problem of the type ⎧ in , ⎨ ⎩ in , j=0,...,k-1, where each is a given continuous linear operator from E into itself. We prove that if the operators are nilpotent and pairwise commuting, then the problem is well-posed in the space of all functions whose derivatives are equi-bounded on each bounded subset of .
Let A be a semisimple Banach algebra with a linear automorphism σ and let δ: I → A be a σ-derivation, where I is an ideal of A. Then Φ(δ)(I ∩ σ(I)) = 0, where Φ(δ) is the separating space of δ. As a consequence, if I is an essential ideal then the σ-derivation δ is closable. In a prime C*-algebra, we show that every σ-derivation defined on a nonzero ideal is continuous. Finally, any linear map on a prime semisimple Banach algebra with nontrivial idempotents is continuous if it satisfies the σ-derivation...
The aim of this paper is to find estimates of the Hausdorff distance between the spectra of two nonselfadjoint operators. The operators considered are assumed to have their imaginary parts in some normed ideal of compact operators. In the case of the classical Schatten ideals the estimates are given explicitly.
It was shown that the space of Toeplitz operators perturbated by finite rank operators is 2-hyperreflexive.
Two well-known theorems for Hermitian elements in C*-algebras are extended to Banach algebras. The first concerns the solution of the equation ax - xb = y, and the second gives sharp bounds for the distance between spectra of a and b when a, b are Hermitian.
Motivated by a great deal of interest in operators that may not be densely defined and do not generate global integrated semigroups, we establish general perturbation theorems for local integrated semigroups and describe their applications to local complete second order abstract differential equations.
Let T and V be two Hilbert space contractions and let X be a linear bounded operator. It was proved by C. Foiaş and J. P. Williams that in certain cases the operator block matrix R(X;T,V) (equation (1.1) below) is similar to a contraction if and only if the commutator equation X = TZ-ZV has a bounded solution Z. We characterize here the similarity to contractions of some operator matrices R(X;T,V) in terms of growth conditions or of perturbations of R(0;T,V) = T ⊕ V.
