AbstractAn intrinsic characterization is given of those von Neumann algebras which are injective objects in the category of C*-algebras with completely positive maps. For countably generated von Neumann algebras several such characterizations have been given, so it is in fact enough to observe that an injective von Neumann algebra is generated by an upward directed collection of injective countably generated sub von Neumann algebras. The present work also shows that three of the intrinsic characterizations known in the countably generated case hold in general.

A C*-algebra A is said to be approximately finite dimensional (AF) if it is the inductive limit of a sequence of finite dimensional C*-algebras(see [2], [5]). It is said to be nuclear if, for each C*-algebra B, there is a unique C*-norm on the *-algebraic tensor product A ⊗B [11]. Since finite dimensional C*-algebras are nuclear, and inductive limits of nuclear C*-algebras are nuclear [16];,every AF C*-algebra is nuclear. The family of nuclear C*-algebras is a large and well-behaved class (see [12]). The AF C*-algebras for a particularly tractable sub-class which has been completely classified in terms of the invariant K0 [7], [5].

The objective of this paper is to give some concrete distinctions between positive linear maps and completely positive linear maps on C*-algebras of operators.Herein, C*-algebras possess an identity and are written in German type . Capital letters A, B, C stand for operators, script letters for vector spaces, small letters x, y, z for vectors. Capital Greek letters Φ, Ψ stand for linear maps on C*-algebras, small Greek letters α, β, γ for complex numbers.We denote by the collection of all n × n complex matrices. () = ⊗ is the C*-algebra of n × n matrices over .

The main result asserts that given two monotone complete C*-algebras A and B, B is faithfully represented as a monotone closed C*-subalgebra of the monotone complete C*-algebra End A(X) consisting of all bounded module endomorphisms of some self-dual Hilbert A-module X if and only if there are sufficiently many normal completely positive maps of B into A. The key to the proof is the fact that each pre-Hilbert A-module can be completed uniquely to a self-dual Hilbert A-module.

This paper is concerned with the boundary error feedback regulation for a one-dimensional anti-stable wave equation with distributed disturbance generated by a finite-dimensional exogenous system. Transport equation and regulator equation are introduced first to deal with the anti-damping on boundary and the distributed disturbance of the original system. Then, the tracking error and its derivative are measured to design an observer for both exosystem and auxiliary partial differential equation (PDE) system to recover the state. After proving the well-posedness of the regulator equations, we propose an observer-based controller to regulate the tracking error to zero exponentially and keep the states of all the internal loop uniformly bounded. Finally, some numerical simulations are presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

AbstractExamples are constructed of stably finite, imitai, separable C* -algebras A of real rank zero such that the partially ordered abelian groups K0(A) do not satisfy the Riesz decomposition property. This contrasts with the result of Zhang that projections in C* -algebras of real rank zero satisfy Riesz decomposition. The construction method also produces a stably finite, unital, separable C* -algebra of real rank zero which has the same K-theory as an approximately finite dimensional C*-algebra, but is not itself approximately finite dimensional.
