Non-compact positive operators

This paper is concerned with positive operators acting in a partially ordered Banach space, and provides extensions of various theorems which involve operators of this kind which are in addition supposed to be compact. It is shown that any continuous linear positive map T has a positive eigenvector provided the spectrum of T contains a point with modulus greater than the radius of the essential spectrum of T : this result contains the well-known theorem of Krein-Rutman for compact operators. Various results connected to the Krein-Rutman theorem in a natural way are provided for non-compact positive linear operators, some involving k -set contractions and another which utilizes the notion of a projectionally compact operator. Two fixed point theorems for nonlinear positive operators are obtained by the use of topological degree theory for k -set contractions.

We consider the applications of the theory of condensing set-valued maps, the theory of set-valued linear operators, and the topological degree theory of the existence of mild solutions for a class of degenerate differential inclusions in a reflexive Banach space. Further, these techniques are used to obtain the solvability of general boundary value problems for a given class of inclusions. Some particular cases including periodic problems are considered.

The order structure of the space of all continuous linear operators on an ordered Banach space is studied. The main topic is the Robinson property, that is, the norm of a positive linear operator is attained on the positive unit cone.

AbstractWe consider orbits of compact linear operators in a real Banach space which are nonnegative with respect to the partial ordering induced by a given cone. The main result shows that under a mild additional assumption the local spectral radius of a nonnegative orbit is an eigenvalue of the operator with a positive eigenvector.

Abstract For a Banach space X let 𝔄 be the set of continuous linear operators A : X → X with ‖A‖ < 1, I be the identity operator and 𝔄 c ≔ {A ∈ 𝔄 : ‖I – A‖ ≤ c(1 – ‖A‖)}, where c ≥ 1 is a constant. Let, moreover, (xk ) k≥0 be a sequence in X such that the series converges and ƒ : 𝔄 ∪ {I} → X be the mapping defined by the equality It is shown that ƒ is continuous on 𝔄 and for every c ≥ 1 the restriction of ƒ to 𝔄 c ∪ {I} is continuous at I.

In an ordered Banach space which is orthogonally decomposable, we define the absolute value and its general properties are given. The results are used to study the properties of linear operators which satisfy Kato's inequality and the locality condition.

AbstractLet K be a non-trivial complete non-Archimedean valued field and let E be an infinite-dimensional Banach space over K. Some of the main results are:(1) K is spherically complete if and only if every weakly convergent sequence in l∞ is norm-convergent.(2) If the valuation of K is dense, then C0 is complemented in E if and only if C(E,c0) is n o t complemented in L(E,c0), where L(E,c0) is the space of all continuous linear operators from E to c0 and C(E,c0) is the subspace of L(E, c0) consisting of all compact linear operators.

AbstractLet K be a compact Hausdorif space, X a Banach space and C(K, X) the Banach space of all continuous functions : KX equipped with the supremum norm. A subset H of C(K, X) is pointwise weakly precompact if, for each t in K, the set Ht) = {(t):H} is weakly precompact. In this note we study the images of a bounded pointwise weakly precompact subset H of C(K, X) under several classes of linear operators on C(K, X).

Suppose A and B are continuous linear operators mapping a complex Banach space X into itself. For any polynomial pC, it is obvious that when A commutes with B, then p(A) commutes with B. To see that the reverse implication is false, let A be nilpotent of order n. Then An commutes with all B but A cannot do so. Sufficient conditions for the implication: p(A) commutes with B implies A commutes with B: were given by Embry [2] for the case p(λ) = λn and Finkelstein and Lebow [3] in the general case. The latter authors proved in fact that if f is a function holomorphic on σ(A) and if f is univalent with non-vanishing derivative on σ(A), then A can be expressed as a function of f(A).
