The Banach space of bounded continuous real or complexvalued functions on a topological space X is denoted C(X). An averaging operator for an onto continuous function ϕ : X → Y is a bounded linear projection of C(X) onto the subspace ﹛ƒ ∈ C(X) : f is constant on each set ϕ -1(y) for y ∈ Y﹜. The projection constant p(ϕ) for an onto continuous map ϕ is the lower bound for the norms of all averaging operators for ϕ ﹛p(ϕ) = ∞ if there is no averaging operator for ϕ).

A Banach spaceXis calledprimary(respectively,prime)if for every (bounded linear) projectionPonXeitherPXor (I—P)X(respectively,PXwith dimPX =∞ ) is isomorphic toX.It is well-known that C0andlp, 1 ≦p≦ ∞ [8;14] are prime. However, it is unknown whether there are other prime Banach spaces. For a discussion on prime and primary Banach spaces, we refer the reader to [9].

Suppose we have a semi-group structure defined ona subset of real Euclidean n-space, En, by (p, q) → F (p, q) = poq. In this note we shall be concerned with a representation T(.) of π as a semi-group of bounded linear operators on a Banach space 𝒳. More particularly, we suppose that postulates P1, P2, P3, P5 and P6 of chapter 25 of (2) are satisfied so that, by Theorem 25.3.1 of that book, there is a continuous function, f(.), defined on π such that f((ρ + σ)a) = f(ρa)o f(σa) for a ∈ π, ρ,σ ≥ 0; that the representation is strongly continuous in a neighbourhood of the origin and that T(0) = I.

In this paper we shall examine the relationship between the numerical ranges and the spectra for semi-normal operators on uniformly smooth spaces.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. A linear functional F on B(X) is called state if ∥F∥ = F(I) = 1. When x ε X with ∥x∥ = 1, we denoteD(x) = {f ε X*:∥f∥ = f(x) = l}.

1. In this paper, we investigate the ranges of projections on certain Banach spaces of functions defined on a diadic tree. The notion of a “tree-like” Banach space is due to James 4], who used it to construct the separable space JT which has nonseparable dual and yet does not contain l1. This idea has proved useful. In [3], Hagler constructed a hereditarily c0 tree space, HT, and Schechtman [6] constructed, for each 1 ≦ p ≦ ∞, a reflexive Banach space, STp with a 1-unconditional basis which does not contain lp yet is uniformly isomorphic to for each n.In [1] we showed that if U is a bounded linear operator on JT, then there exists a subspace W ⊂ JT, isomorphic to JT such that either U or (1 — U) acts as an isomorphism on W and UW or (1 — U)W is complemented in JT. In this paper, we establish this result for the Hagler and Schechtman tree spaces.

It is shown that ifXis a uniformly convex Banach space andSa bounded linear operator onXfor which‖I−S‖=1, thenSis invertible if and only if‖I−12S‖<1. From this it follows that ifSis invertible onXthen either (i)dist(I,[S])<1, or (ii)0is the unique best approximation toIfrom[S], a natural (partial) converse to the well-known sufficient condition for invertibility thatdist(I,[S])<1.

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, ∞).

We consider the problem of a double fixed point of pairs of continuous mappings defined on a convex closed bounded subset of a Banach space. It is shown that if one of the mappings is completely continuous and the other is continuous, then the property of the existence of fixed points is stable under contracting perturbations of the mappings. We obtain estimates for the distance from a given pair of points to double fixed points of perturbed mappings. We consider the problem of a fixed point of a completely continuous mapping on a convex closed bounded subset of a Banach space. It is shown that the property of the existence of a fixed point of a completely continuous map is stable under contracting perturbations. Estimates of the distance from a given point to a fixed point are obtained. As an application of the obtained results, the solvability of a difference equation of a special type is proved.

Abstract.LetTbe a bounded linear operator on a Banach spaceW, assumeWandYare in normed duality, and assume thatThas adjointT†relative toY. In this paper, conditions are given that imply that for all λ≠0, λ−Tand λ −T†maintain important standard operator relationships. For example, under the conditions given, λ −Thas closed range if, and only if, λ −T†has closed range.These general results are shown to apply to certain classes of integral operators acting on spaces of continuous functions.

For every Banach space X, denote by GL(X) the linear group of X, i.e. the group of all linear continuous invertible operators on X with the topology induced by the operator norm. One says that GL(X) is contractible to a point if there exists a continuous map F: GL(X) × [0, 1] → GL(X) such that F(A,0) = A and F(A, 1) = Id, for every A ∈ GL(X).
