Let X be any real or complex Banach space. If T is a bounded linear operator on X then denote by N(T) the null space of T and by R(T) the range space of T.Now if X is finite dimensional and N(T) = N(T2) then also R(T) = R(T2). Therefore X admits a direct sum decomposition.Indeed it is easy to see that N(T) = N(T2) implies that and, using dimension theory of finite dimensional spaces, that N(T) and R(T) span the whole space (see, for example, (2, pp. 271–73))

A mappingαfrom a normed spaceXinto itself is called a Banach operator if there is a constantksuch that0≤k<1and‖α2(x)−α(x)‖≤k‖α(x)−x‖for allx∈X. In this note we study some properties of Banach operators. Among other results we show that ifαis a linear Banach operator on a normed spaceX, thenN(α−1)=N((α−1)2),N(α−1)∩R(α−1)=(0)and ifXis finite dimensional thenX=N(α−1)⊕R(α−1), whereN(α−1)andR(α−1)denote the null space and the range space of(α−1), respectively and 1 is the identity mapping onX. We also obtain some commutativity results for a pair of bounded linear multiplicative Banach operators on normed algebras.

Let A and B be C*-algebras acting on a Hilbert space H, and letwhere A1 is the unit ball in A and d(a, B1) denotes the distance of a from B1. We shall consider the following problem: if ‖A – B‖ is sufficiently small, does it follow that there is a unitary operator u such that uAu* = B?Such questions were first considered by Kadison and Kastler in [9], and have received considerable attention. In particular in the case where A is an approximately finite-dimensional (or hyperfinite) von Neumann algebra, the question has an affirmative answer (cf [3], [8], [12]). We shall show that in the case where A and B are approximately finite-dimensional C*-algebras (AF-algebras) the problem also has a positive answer.

The resolution problem of the systemwhere U(t), A, B, D and Uo are bounded linear operators on H and B* denotes the adjoint operator of B, arises in control theory, [9], transport theory, [12], and filtering problems, [3]. The finite-dimensional case has been introduced in [6,7], and several authors have studied the infinite-dimensional case, [4], [13], [18]. A recent paper, [17],studies the finite dimensional boundary problemwhere t ∈[0,b].In this paper we consider the more general boundary problemwhere all operators which appear in (1.2) are bounded linear operators on a separable Hilbert space H. Note that we do not suppose C = −B* and the boundary condition in (1.2) is more general than the boundary condition in (1.1).

AbstractLet A be an invertible operator on a complex Banach space X. For a given α ≥ 0, we define the class $\mathcal{D}$Aα(ℤ) (resp. $\mathcal{D}$Aα (ℤ+)) of all bounded linear operators T on X for which there exists a constant CT>0, such that $ \begin{equation*} \Vert A^{n}TA^{-n}\Vert \leq C_{T}\left( 1+\left\vert n\right\vert \right) ^{\alpha }, \end{equation*} $ for all n ∈ ℤ (resp. n∈ ℤ+). We present a complete description of the class $\mathcal{D}$Aα (ℤ) in the case when the spectrum of A is real or is a singleton. If T ∈ $\mathcal{D}$A(ℤ) (=$\mathcal{D}$A0(ℤ)), some estimates for the norm of AT-TA are obtained. Some results for the class $\mathcal{D}$Aα (ℤ+) are also given.

Let X be a complex Banach space. We denote by X* the dual space of X and by B(X) the space of all bounded linear operators on X. The (spatial) numerical range of an operator TεB(X) is defined as the setIf V(T) ⊂ ℝ, then T is called hermitian. More about numerical ranges may be found in [8] and [9].

Let X be an infinite-dimensional complex Banach space and denote the set of bounded (compact) linear operators on X by B(X) (K(X)). Let N(A) and R(A) denote, respectively, the null space and the range space of an element A of B(X). Set R(A∞)=∩nR(An) and k(A)=dim N(A)/(N(A)∩R(A∞)). Let σg(A) = ℂ\{λ∈ℂ:R(A−λ) is closed and k(A−λ)=0} denote the generalized (regular) spectrum of A. In this paper we study the subset σgb(A) of σg(A) defined by σgb(A) = ℂ\{λ∈ℂ:R(A−λ) is closed and k(A−λ)<∞}. Among other things, we prove that if f is a function analytic in a neighborhood of σ(A), then σgb(f(A)) = f(σgb(A)).

Let X be a complex Banach space and let T be a bounded linear operator on X. Then T is decomposable if for every finite open cover of σ(T) there are invariant subspaces Yi(i= 1, 2, …, n) such that(An invariant subspace Y is spectral maximal [for T] if it contains every invariant subspace Z for which σ(T|Z) ⊂ σ(T|Y).).
