Spectral theory in its lattice-theoretic setting proves abstractly that the indicators of measurable sets generate the space L of Lebesgue-integrable functions on an interval. We are concerned here with abstractions suggested by the fact that indicators of intervals suffice to generate L. Our results show that the approximation of arbitrary elements of a topological vector lattice rests upon the ability to separate disjoint elements/ and g by an operation that behaves in the limit like a projection annihilating/ and leaving g invariant.The introduction of this concept of separation together with the notion of limit unit leads (via the Fundamental Lemma) to abstract generalizations of the Radon-Nikodym Theorem (Theorem 1) and the Stone-Weierstrass Theorem (Theorem 3).

The distribution of upward first passage times in skip-free Markov chains can be expressed solely in terms of the eigenvalues in the spectral representation, without performing a separate calculation to determine the eigenvectors. We provide insight into this result and skip-free Markov chains more generally by showing that part of the spectral theory developed for birth-and-death processes extends to skip-free chains. We show that the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of skip-free chains can be characterized in terms of recursively defined polynomials. Moreover, the Laplace transform of the upward first passage time from 0 to n is the reciprocal of the nth polynomial. This simple relationship holds because the Laplace transforms of the first passage times satisfy the same recursion as the polynomials except for a normalization.
