AbstractWe study w*-semicrossed products over actions of the free semigroup and the free abelian semigroup on (possibly non-selfadjoint) w*-closed algebras. We show that they are reflexive when the dynamics are implemented by uniformly bounded families of invertible row operators. Combining with results of Helmer, we derive that w*-semicrossed products of factors (on a separableHilbert space) are reflexive. Furthermore, we show that w*-semicrossed products of automorphic actions on maximal abelian self adjoint algebras are reflexive. In all cases we prove that the w*-semicrossed products have the bicommutant property if and only if the ambient algebra of the dynamics does also.

After one introduces the theory of normal families in a course in complex analysis, the usual pattern is to give an example of a non-normal family. One of the simplest, of course, is the sequence fn(z) = nz, n = 1,2, ···. The very devastating effect of multiplying by zero insures the required abnormality!

We show that a Poisson cluster point process is a nearest-neighbour Markov point process [2] if the clusters have uniformly bounded diameter. It is typically not a finite-range Markov point process in the sense of Ripley and Kelly [12]. Furthermore, when the parent Poisson process is replaced by a Markov or nearest-neighbour Markov point process, the resulting cluster process is also nearest-neighbour Markov, provided all clusters are non-empty. In particular, the nearest-neighbour Markov property is preserved when points of the process are independently randomly translated, but not when they are randomly thinned.

AbstractWe show that every free semigroup algebra has a (strongly) unique Banach space predual. We also provide a new simpler proof that a weak-∗ closed unital operator algebra containing a weak-∗ dense subalgebra of compact operators has a unique Banach space predual.

Items of various types arrive at a bin-packing facility according to random processes and are to be combined with other readily available items of different types and packed into bins using one of a number of possible packings. One might think of a manufacturing context in which randomly arriving subassemblies are to be combined with subassemblies from an existing inventory to assemble a variety of finished products. Packing must be done on-line; that is, as each item arrives, it must be allocated to a bin whose configuration of packing is fixed. Moreover, it is required that the packing be managed in such a way that the readily available items are consumed at predescribed rates, corresponding perhaps to optimal rates for manufacturing these items. At any moment, some number of bins will be partially full. In practice, it is important that the packing be managed so that the expected number of partially full bins remains uniformly bounded in time. We present a necessary and sufficient condition for this goal to be realized and describe an algorithm to achieve it.

AbstractWe study a wide class of metrics in a Lebesgue space, namely the class of so-called admissible metrics. We consider the cone of admissible metrics, introduce a special norm in it, prove compactness criteria, define the ɛ-entropy of a measure space with an admissible metric, etc. These notions and related results are applied to the theory of transformations with invariant measure; namely, we study the asymptotic properties of orbits in the cone of admissible metrics with respect to a given transformation or a group of transformations. The main result of this paper is a new discreteness criterion for the spectrum of an ergodic transformation: we prove that the spectrum is discrete if and only if the ɛ-entropy of the averages of some (and hence any) admissible metric over its trajectory is uniformly bounded.

Let S be a free semigroup (on any set of generators). When S is given the discrete topology, its Stone-Čech compactification has a natural semigroup structure. We give two results about elements p of finite order in βS. The first is that any continuous homomorphism of βS into any compact group must send p to the identity. The second shows that natural extensions, to elements of finite order, of relationships between idempotents and sequences with distinct finite sums, do not hold.

AbstractLet K be any compact set. The C*-algebra C(K) is nuclear and any bounded homomorphism from C(K) into B(H), the algebra of all bounded operators on some Hilbert space H, is automatically completely bounded. We prove extensions of these results to the Banach space setting, using the key concept ofR-boundedness. Then we apply these results to operators with a uniformly bounded H∞-calculus, as well as to unconditionality on Lp. We show that any unconditional basis on Lp ‘is’ an unconditional basis on L2 after an appropriate change of density.

In the present work, we discuss the existence of mild solutions for the initial value problem of fractional evolution equation of the form where C Dσ t denotes the Caputo fractional derivative of order σ ∈ (0, 1), −A : D(A) ⊂ X → X generates a positive C0-semigroup T(t)(t ≥ 0) of uniformly bounded linear operator in X, b > 0 is a constant, f is a given functions. For this, we use the concept of measure of noncompactness in partially ordered Banach spaces whose positive cone K is normal, and establish some basic fixed point results under the said concepts. In addition, we relaxed the conditions of boundedness, closedness and convexity of the set at the expense that the operator is monotone and bounded. We also supply some new coupled fixed point results via MNC. To justify the result, we prove an illustrative example that rational of the abstract results for fractional parabolic equations.
