In [4] Carroll and the author have treated the following problem(1)where Λ is a closed densely defined self-adjoint operator in a separable Hilbert space H with (Λu, u) ≥ c ‖u‖2, c > 0, Λ-1 ∊ L(H) (L(E, F) is the space of continuous linear maps from E to F; in particular, L(H) = L(H, H)), a(t) > 0 for t > 0 a(0) = 0 and S(t), R(t), B(t) ∈ L(H).

Let H be a separable Hilbert space and let CL(H) be the semigroup of continuous, linear maps from H to H. Let E+ be the idempotents of CL(H). Let Ker ɑ and Im ɑ be the null-space and range, respectively, of an element ɑ of CL(H) and let St ɑ be the subspace {x∊H: xɑ = x} of H. It is shown that 〈E+〉 = I∪F∪{i}, whereand ι is the identity map. From the proof it is clear that I and F both form subsemigroups of 〈E+〉 and that the depth of I is 3. It is also shown that the depths of F and 〈E+〉 are infinite.

For an unbounded self-adjoint operator A in a separable Hilbert space ℌ and scalar real-valued functions a(t), q(t), r(t), t ∊ ℝ, consider the differential expressionacting on ℌ-valued functions f(t), t ∊ ℝ, and degenerating at t = 0. Let Sp denotethe corresponding minimal symmetric operator in the Hilbert space (ℝ) of ℌ-valued functions f(t) with ℌ-norm ∥f(t)∥ square integrable on the line. The infiniteness of the deficiency indices of Sp, 1/2 < p < 3/2, is proved under natural restrictions on a(t), r(t), q(t). The conditions implying their equality to 0 for p ≥ 3/2 are given. In the case of a self-adjoint differential operator A acting in ℌ = L2(ℝn), the first of these results implies examples of symmetric degenerate differential operators with infinite deficiency indices in L2(ℝm), m = n + 1.

SynopsisConsider the multiparameter systemwhere ut is an element of a separable Hilbert space Hi, i = 1, …, n. The operators Sij are assumed to be bounded symmetric operators in Hi and Ai is assumed self-adjoint. In addition consider the operator equationwhere B is densely defined and closed in a separable Hilbert space H and Tj, j = 1, …, n is a bounded operator in H. The problem treated in this paper is to seek an expression for a solution v of (**) in terms of the eigenfunctions of the system (*).

In this paper we prove some existence theorems for some weak problems with variable domains arising from hyperbolic equations of the type1.1where A = {A(t)} is, for example, a family of elliptic differential operators in space variables x = (x1, …, xn). Thus let H be a separable Hilbert space and let V(t) ⊂ H be a family of Hilbert spaces dense in H with continuous injections i(t): V(t) → H (0 ≦ t ≦ T < ∞). Let V’ (t) be the antidual of V(t) (i.e. the space of continuous conjugate linear maps V(t) → C) and using standard identifications one writes V(t) ⊂ H ⊂ V‘(t).

AbstractLet Lp(Ω, K) denote the Banach space of weakly measurable functions F defined on a finite measure space and taking values in a separable Hilbert space K for which ∥ F ∥p = ( ∫ | F(ω) |p)1/p < + ∞. The bounded Hermitian operators on Lp(Ω, K) (in the sense of Lumer) are shown to be of the form , where B(ω) is a uniformly bounded Hermitian operator valued function on K. This extends the result known for classical Lp spaces. Further, this characterization is utilized to obtain a new proof of Cambern's theorem describing the surjective isometries of Lp(Ω, K). In addition, it is shown that every adjoint abelian operator on Lp(Ω, K) is scalar.

Let l be the differential operator of order 2n defined bywhere the coefficients are real continuous functions and pn > 0. The formally self-adjoint operator l determines a minimal closed symmetric linear operator L0 in the Hilbert space L2 (0, ∞) with domain dense in L2 (0, ∞) ((4), § 17). The operator L0 has a self-adjoint extension L which is not unique, but all such L have the same continuous spectrum ((4), § 19·4). We are concerned here with conditions on the pi which will imply that the spectrum of such an L is bounded below and discrete.

Let V be an infinite-dimensional real Hilbert space with associated C* Clifford algebra C[V]. To any state σ of the C* algebra C[V] there corresponds a skew-adjoint operator C of norm at most unity on V such thatwe refer to C as the covariance of the state σ.

A C*-algebra A of operators on a separable Hilbert space H is said to be quasidiagonal if there is an increasing sequence E1, E2, … of finite-rank projections on H tending strongly to the identity and such thatas i → ∞ for T∈A. More generally a C*-algebra is quasidiagonal if there is a faithful *-representation π of A on a separable Hilbert space H such that π(A) is a quasidiagonal algebra of operators. When this is the case, there is a decomposition H = H1 ⊕ H2 ⊕ … where dim Hi < ∞ (i = 1, 2,…) such that each T∈π(A) can be written T = D + K where D= D1 ⊕ D2 ⊕ …, with Di∈L(Hi) (i = 1, 2,…), and K is a compact linear operator on H. As is well known (and readily seen), this is an alternative characterization of quasidiagonality.

AbstractWe study, in a Hilbert framework, some abstract parabolic variational inequalities, governed by reflecting subgradients with multiplicative perturbation, of the following type:y´(t)+ Ay(t)+0.t Θ(t,y(t)) ∂φ(y(t))∋f(t,y(t)),y(0) = ywhere A is a linear self-adjoint operator, ∂φ is the subdifferential operator of a proper lower semicontinuous convex function φ defined on a suitable Hilbert space, and Θ is the perturbing term which acts on the set of reflecting directions, destroying the maximal monotony of the multivalued term. We provide the existence of a solution for the above Cauchy problem. Our evolution equation is accompanied by examples which aim to (systems of) PDEs with perturbed reflection.
