The purpose of this paper is to study the notion of quasi-compact linear operators acting in a Banach space. This class of operators contains the set of compact, polynomially compact, quasi-nilpotent and that of all Riesz operators. We show the equivalence between different definitions of quasi-compactness known in the mathematical literature and we present several general theorems about quasi-compact endomorphisms: stability under algebraic operations, extension of Schauder theorem and the Fredholm alternative. We also study the question of existence of invariant subspaces and we examine the class of semigroups for quasi-compact operators. The obtained results are used to describe Markov chains.

AbstractIn this paper, we introduce the polynomial numerical index of order $k$ of a Banach space, generalizing to $k$-homogeneous polynomials the ‘classical’ numerical index defined by Lumer in the 1970s for linear operators. We also prove some results. Let $k$ be a positive integer. We then have the following:(i) $n^{(k)}(C(K))=1$ for every scattered compact space $K$.(ii) The inequality $n^{(k)}(E)\geq k^{k/(1-k)}$ for every complex Banach space $E$ and the constant $k^{k/(1-k)}$ is sharp.(iii) The inequalities$$ n^{(k)}(E)\leq n^{(k-1)}(E)\leq\frac{k^{(k+(1/(k-1)))}}{(k-1)^{k-1}}n^{(k)}(E) $$for every Banach space $E$.(iv) The relation between the polynomial numerical index of $c_0$, $l_1$, $l_{\infty}$ sums of Banach spaces and the infimum of the polynomial numerical indices of them.(v) The relation between the polynomial numerical index of the space $C(K,E)$ and the polynomial numerical index of $E$.(vi) The inequality $n^{(k)}(E^{**})\leq n^{(k)}(E)$ for every Banach space $E$.Finally, some results about the numerical radius of multilinear maps and homogeneous polynomials on $C(K)$ and the disc algebra are given.

AbstractA recent result of Leung (Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, 2015) states that the Banach algebra ℬ(X) of bounded, linear operators on the Banach space X = (⊕n∈$\mathbb{N}$ ℓ∞n)ℓ1 contains a unique maximal ideal. We show that the same conclusion holds true for the Banach spaces X = (⊕n∈$\mathbb{N}$ ℓ∞n)ℓp and X = (⊕n∈$\mathbb{N}$ ℓ1n)ℓp whenever p ∈ (1, ∞).

Giles and Joseph (Bull. Austral. Math. Soc. 11 (1974), 31–36), proved that the numerical range of an unbounded operator on a Banach space has a certain density property. They showed, in particular, that the numerical range of an unbounded operator on certain Banach spaces is dense in the scalar field. We prove that the numerical range of an unbounded operator on a Banach space is always dense in the scalar field.

In (4) Vala proves a generalization of Schauder's theorem (3) on the compactness of the adjoint of a compact linear operator. The particular case of Vala's result that we shall be concerned with is as follows. Let t1 and t2 be non-zero bounded linear operators on the Banach spaces Y and X respectively, and denote by 1T2 the operator on B(X, Y) defined by

AbstractThis paper is inspired by a counter example of J. Kurzweil published in [5], whose intention was to demonstrate that a certain property of linear operators on finite-dimensional spaces need not be preserved in infinite dimension. We obtain a stronger result, which says that no infinite-dimensional Banach space can have the given property. Along the way, we will also derive an interesting proposition related to Dvoretzky's theorem.

Banach algebras over arbitrary complete non-Archimedean fields are considered such that operators may be nonanalytic. There are different types of Banach spaces over non-Archimedean fields. We have determined the spectrum of some closed commutative subalgebras of the Banach algebraℒ(E)of the continuous linear operators on a free Banach spaceEgenerated by projectors. We investigate the spectral integration of non-Archimedean Banach algebras. We define a spectral measure and prove several properties. We prove the non-Archimedean analog of Stone theorem. It also contains the case ofC-algebrasC∞(X,𝕂). We prove a particular case of a representation of aC-algebra with the help of aL(Aˆ,μ,𝕂)-projection-valued measure. We consider spectral theorems for operators and families of commuting linear continuous operators on the non-Archimedean Banach space.

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.

Abstract Let $\mathcal {X}$ be a Banach space over the complex field $\mathbb {C}$ and $\mathcal {B(X)}$ be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on $\mathcal {X}$ . Let $\mathcal {N}$ be a nontrivial nest on $\mathcal {X}$ , $\text {Alg}\mathcal {N}$ be the nest algebra associated with $\mathcal {N}$ , and $L\colon \text {Alg}\mathcal {N}\longrightarrow \mathcal {B(X)}$ be a linear mapping. Suppose that $p_n(x_1,x_2,\ldots ,x_n)$ is an $(n-1)\,$ th commutator defined by n indeterminates $x_1, x_2, \ldots , x_n$ . It is shown that L satisfies the rule $$ \begin{align*}L(p_n(A_1, A_2, \ldots, A_n))=\sum_{k=1}^{n}p_n(A_1, \ldots, A_{k-1}, L(A_k), A_{k+1}, \ldots, A_n) \end{align*} $$ for all $A_1, A_2, \ldots , A_n\in \text {Alg}\mathcal {N}$ if and only if there exist a linear derivation $D\colon \text {Alg}\mathcal {N}\longrightarrow \mathcal {B(X)}$ and a linear mapping $H\colon \text {Alg}\mathcal {N}\longrightarrow \mathbb {C}I$ vanishing on each $(n-1)\,$ th commutator $p_n(A_1,A_2,\ldots , A_n)$ for all $A_1, A_2, \ldots , A_n\in \text {Alg}\mathcal {N}$ such that $L(A)=D(A)+H(A)$ for all $A\in \text {Alg}\mathcal {N}$ . We also propose some related topics for future research.

We seek a sufficient condition which preserves almost-invariant subspaces under the weak limit of bounded operators. We study the bounded linear operators which have a collection of almost-invariant subspaces and prove that a bounded linear operator on a Banach space, admitting each closed subspace as an almost-invariant subspace, can be decomposed into the sum of a multiple of the identity and a finite-rank operator.
