Partial O*-Algebras

2002

This chapter is devoted to the investigation of partial O*-algebras of closable linear operators defined on a common dense domain in a Hilbert space. Section 2.1 introduces of O- and O*-families, O- and O*-vector spaces, partial O*-algebras and O*-algebras. Partial O*-algebras and strong partial O*-algebras are defined by the weak and the strong multiplication. Section 2.2 describes four canonical extensions (closure, full-closure, adjoint, biadjoint) of O*-families and defines the notions of closedness and full-closedness (self-adjointness, integrability) of O*-families in analogy with that of closed (self-adjoint) operators. Section 2.3 deals with two weak bounded commutants M′w and M′qw …

Spectra and essential spectral radii of composition operators on weighted Banach spaces of analytic functions

2008

AbstractWe determine the spectra of composition operators acting on weighted Banach spaces Hv∞ of analytic functions on the unit disc defined for a radial weight v, when the symbol of the operator has a fixed point in the open unit disc. We also investigate in this case the growth rate of the Koenigs eigenfunction and its relation with the essential spectral radius of the composition operator.

Operator martingale decomposition and the Radon-Nikodym property in Banach spaces

2010

Abstract We consider submartingales and uniform amarts of maps acting between a Banach lattice and a Banach lattice or a Banach space. In this measure-free setting of martingale theory, it is known that a Banach space Y has the Radon–Nikodým property if and only if every uniformly norm bounded martingale defined on the Chaney–Schaefer l-tensor product E ⊗ ˜ l Y , where E is a suitable Banach lattice, is norm convergent. We present applications of this result. Firstly, an analogues characterization for Banach lattices Y with the Radon–Nikodým property is given in terms of a suitable set of submartingales (supermartingales) on E ⊗ ˜ l Y . Secondly, we derive a Riesz decomposition for uniform …

The Daugavet equation for polynomials

2007

In this paper we study when the Daugavet equation is satisfied for weakly compact polynomials on a Banach space X, i.e. when the equality ‖Id + P‖ = 1 + ‖P‖ is satisfied for all weakly compact polynomials P : X −→ X. We show that this is the case when X = C(K), the real or complex space of continuous functions on a compact space K without isolated points. We also study the alternative Daugavet equation max |ω|=1 ‖Id + ω P‖ = 1 + ‖P‖ for polynomials P : X −→ X. We show that this equation holds for every polynomial on the complex space X = C(K) (K arbitrary) with values in X. The result is not true in the real case. Finally, we study the Daugavet and the alternative Daugavet equations for k-h…

Multilinear Fourier multipliers related to time–frequency localization

2013

We consider multilinear multipliers associated in a natural way with localization operators. Boundedness and compactness results are obtained. In particular, we get a geometric condition on a subset A⊂R2d which guarantees that, for a fixed synthesis window ψ∈L2(Rd), the family of localization operators Lφ,ψA obtained when the analysis window φ varies on the unit ball of L2(Rd) is a relatively compact set of compact operators.

An extension of Guo's theorem via k--contractive retractions

2006

Abstract Let X be a infinite-dimensional Banach space. We generalize Guo's Theorem [D.J. Guo, Eigenvalues and eigenvectors of nonlinear operators, Chinese Ann. Math. 2 (1981) 65–80 [English]] to k- ψ -contractions and condensing mappings, under a condition which depends on the infimum k ψ of all k ⩾ 1 for which there exists a k- ψ -contractive retraction of the closed unit ball of the space X onto its boundary.

Fractional-order theory of thermoelasticicty. I: Generalization of the Fourier equation

2018

The paper deals with the generalization of Fourier-type relations in the context of fractional-order calculus. The instantaneous temperature-flux equation of the Fourier-type diffusion is generalized, introducing a self-similar, fractal-type mass clustering at the micro scale. In this setting, the resulting conduction equation at the macro scale yields a Caputo's fractional derivative with order [0,1] of temperature gradient that generalizes the Fourier conduction equation. The order of the fractional-derivative has been related to the fractal assembly of the microstructure and some preliminary observations about the thermodynamical restrictions of the coefficients and the state functions r…

Mixed l-/l1 fault detection observer design for positive switched systems with time-varying delay via delta operator approach

2014

Published version of an article in the journal: International Journal of Control, Automation and Systems. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s12555-013-0466-1 This paper investigates the problem of fault detection observer design for positive switched systems with time-varying delay via delta operator approach. A new fault sensitivity measure, called l-index, is proposed. The l- fault detection observer design and multi-objective l -/l1 fault detection observer design problems are addressed. Based on the average dwell time approach and the piecewise copositive type Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional method in delta domain, sufficient conditions for the existence of …
