We prove that an operator system $\mathcal S$ is nuclear in the category of operator systems if and only if there exist nets of unital completely positive maps $\phi_\lambda : \cl S \to M_{n_\lambda}$ and $\psi_\lambda : M_{n_\lambda} \to…

This paper establishes new Positivstellens\"atze for polynomials that are positive on sets defined by polynomial matrix inequalities (PMIs). We extend the classical Handelman and Krivine-Stengle theorems from the scalar inequality setting…

We show that for a linear space of operators ${\mathcal M}\subseteq {\mathcal B}(H_1,H_2)$ the following assertions are equivalent. (i) ${\mathcal M} $ is reflexive in the sense of Loginov--Shulman. (ii) There exists an order-preserving map…

Let $\sigma$ be a non-trivial operator mean in the sense of Kubo and Ando, and let $OM_+^1$ the set of normalized positive operator monotone functions on $(0, \infty)$. In this paper, we study class of $\sigma$-subpreserving functions $f\in…

Covering ill-posed problems with compact and non-compact operators regarding the degree of ill-posedness is a never ending story written by many authors in the inverse problems literature. This paper tries to add a new narrative and some…

Let $f:\mathbb{R}^n_{> 0} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^n_{>0}$ be an order-preserving and homogeneous function. We show that the set of eigenvectors of $f$ in $\mathbb{R}^n_{>0}$ is nonempty and bounded in Hilbert's projective metric if and only…

In this paper we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of non-norm-attaining operators in $\mathcal{L}(E, F)$. By using a theorem due to Pfitzner on James boundaries, we show that if there exists a relatively compact…

Let R be a commutative ring with 1. For every homogeneous polynomial f(X_0,X_1,X_2) in R[X_0,X_1,X_2] of degree d <= 25, we find a explicit linear Pfaffian R-representation of f. We describe an empirical method that leads us to find such…

In this paper, we consider a (nonlinear) transformation $\Phi$ of invertible positive elements in $C^*$-algebras which preserves the norm of any of the three fundamental means of positive elements; namely, $\|\Phi(A)\mm \Phi(B)\| = \|A\mm…

Assume that $Au=f,\quad (1)$ is a solvable linear equation in a Hilbert space $H$, $A$ is a linear, closed, densely defined, unbounded operator in $H$, which is not boundedly invertible, so problem (1) is ill-posed. It is proved that the…

A linear operator on a Hilbert space $\mathbb{H}$, in the classical approach of von Neumann, must be symmetric to guarantee self-adjointness. However, it can be shown that the symmetry could be ommited by using a criterion for the graph of…

We study self-similar sets and measures on $\mathbb{R}^{d}$. Assuming that the defining iterated function system $\Phi$ does not preserve a proper affine subspace, we show that one of the following holds: (1) the dimension is equal to the…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic zero and suppose that $f:\mathbb{N}\to K$ satisfies a recurrence of the form $$f(n)\ =\ \sum_{i=1}^d P_i(n) f(n-i),$$ for $n$ sufficiently large, where $P_1(z),...,P_d(z)$ are polynomials in $K[z]$.…

We consider the complex solvable non-commutative two dimensional Lie algebra $L$, $L=<y>\oplus <x>$, with Lie bracket $[x,y]=y$, as linear bounded operators acting on a complex Hilbert space $H$. Under the assumption $R(y)$ closed, we…

It is established existence and multiplicity of solutions for strongly nonlinear problems driven by the $\Phi$-Laplacian operator on bounded domains. Our main results are stated without the so called $\Delta_{2}$ condition at infinity which…

Building on the work of \.{I}nan and of Almahariq--Peters--Vergili, we develop an axiomatic framework for approximate algebra based on an algebra-compatible closure operator $\Phi^{\!*}$ on a unital ring. The operator is assumed to be…

Necessary and sufficient conditions for the exponentiation of finite-dimensional real Lie algebras of linear operators on complete Hausdorff locally convex spaces are obtained, focused on the equicontinuous case - in particular, necessary…

We establish some operator versions of Bellman's inequality. In particular, we prove that if $\Phi: \mathbb{B}(\mathscr{H}) \to \mathbb{B}(\mathscr{K})$ is a unital positive linear map, $A,B \in \mathbb{B}(\mathscr{H})$ are contractions,…

This article is a contribution to the spectral theory of so-called eventually positive operators, i.e.\ operators $T$ which may not be positive but whose powers $T^n$ become positive for large enough $n$. While the spectral theory of such…

Let ${\mathcal M}$ be a von Neumann algebra without central summands of type $I_1$. Assume that $\Phi:{\mathcal M}\rightarrow {\mathcal M}$ is a surjective map. It is shown that $\Phi$ is strong skew commutativity preserving (that is,…
