Let $\Gamma$ be an oriented Jordan smooth curve and $\alpha$ be a diffeomorphism of $\Gamma$ onto itself which has an arbitrary nonempty set of periodic points. We prove criteria for one-sided invertiblity of the binomial functional…

Given complex numbers $a, b, c$ and a non-negative continuous function $\varphi$ defined on $[0, +\infty)$, consider the $2 \times 2$ matrix $$ M_t = \begin{pmatrix} a & t \\ ct & b\varphi(t) \end{pmatrix}, \quad t \in [0, +\infty). $$ We…

A bounded linear operator $A$ on a Hilbert space is posinormal if there exists a positive operator $P$ such that $AA^{*} = A^{*}PA$. Posinormality of $A$ is equivalent to the inclusion of the range of $A$ in the range of its adjoint $A^*$.…

Let $L$ be a linear differential operator with constant coefficients of order $n$ and complex eigenvalues $\lambda_{0},...,\lambda_{n}$. Assume that the set $U_{n}$ of all solutions of the equation $Lf=0$ is closed under complex…

In the article, a notion "logarithmically absolutely monotonic function" is introduced, an inclusion that a logarithmically absolutely monotonic function is also absolutely monotonic is revealed, the logarithmically complete monotonicity…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be Banach spaces, $A\,:\,X\rightarrow Y$ and $B,\,C\,:\,Y\rightarrow X$ be bounded linear operators. We prove that if $A(BA)^2=ABACA=ACABA=(AC)^2A,$ then $$\sigma_{*}(AC)\setminus\{0\}=\sigma_{*}(BA)\setminus\{0\}$$ where…

We study a question posed by Stephen Simons in his 2008 monograph involving "bigger conjugate" (BC) functions and the partial infimal convolution. As Simons demonstrated in his monograph, these function have been crucial to the…

We continue the analysis in [H. Osaka and J. Tomiyama, Double piling structure of matrix monotone functions and of matrix convex functions, Linear and its Applications 431(2009), 1825 - 1832] in which the followings three assertions at each…

In this paper, we provide the sufficient and necessary conditions for the symmetry of the following stable L\'evy-type operator $\mathcal{L}$ on $\mathbb{R}$: $$\mathcal{L}=a(x){\Delta^{\alpha/2}}+b(x)\frac{\d}{\d x},$$ where $a,b$ are the…

In this paper, we show refined Young inequalities for two positive operators. Our results refine the ordering relations among the arithmetic mean, the geometric mean and the harmonic mean for two positive operators. In addition, we give two…

Given a topological group $G$ and a unitary representation $U$ of $G$, we consider the problem of classifying the positive operator measures which are based on a $G$-homogeneous space $X$ and covariant with respect to the representation…

Let X be a real Banach space. We prove that the existence of an injective, positive, symmetric and not strictly singular operator from X into its dual implies that either X admits an equivalent Hilbertian norm or it contains a nontrivially…

In this note we provide regularity conditions of closedness type which guarantee some surjectivity results concerning the sum of two maximal monotone operators by using representative functions. The first regularity condition we give…

We provide sufficient and necessary conditions guaranteeing equations $(A+B)^*=A^*+B^*$ and $(AB)^*=B^*A^*$ concerning densely defined unbounded operators $A,B$ between Hilbert spaces. We also improve the perturbation theory of selfadjoint…

We characterize the (essentially) decreasing sequences of positive numbers $\beta$ = ($\beta$ n) for which all composition operators on H 2 ($\beta$) are bounded, where H 2 ($\beta$) is the space of analytic functions f in the unit disk…

An operator connection is a binary operation assigned to each pair of positive operators satisfying monotonicity, continuity from above and the transformer inequality. In this paper, we introduce and characterize the concepts of…

Let $(M,g)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold of dimension $n \geq 3$ and let $f\in C^{\infty}(M)$, such that the operator $P_f:= \Delta_g+f$ is positive. If $g$ is flat near some point $p$ and $f$ vanishes around $p$, we can define the mass…

Mercer inequality for convex functions is a variant of Jensen's inequality, with an operator version that is still valid without operator convexity. This paper is two folded. First, we present a Mercer-type inequality for operators without…

We consider pairs of operators $A,B\in B(H)$, where $H$ is a Hilbert space, such that there exist a linear isometry $f$ from the span of $\{A,B\}$ into $\mathbb{C}^2$ mapping $A,B$ into orthonormal vectors. We prove some necessary…

We prove a Positivstellensatz for operator-valued noncommutative polynomials that are positive on matrix convex sets. Specifically, let $p$ be an operator-valued polynomial in $B(H)\otimes C<x>$ of degree at most $2d+1$, where $H$ is…
