The classical Perron-Frobenius theory asserts that for two matrices $A$ and $B$, if $0\leq B \leq A$ and $r(A)=r(B)$ with $A$ being irreducible, then $A=B$. This was recently extended in Bernik et al. (2012) to positive operators on…

The classical Perron-Frobenius theory asserts that an irreducible matrix $A$ has cyclic peripheral spectrum and its spectral radius $r(A)$ is an eigenvalue corresponding to a positive eigenvector. In Radjavi (1999) and Radjavi and Rosenthal…

The classic result of Perron and Frobenius states that if $A$ and $B$ are matrices with nonnegative elements, such that $A \leq B$, $A$ is irreducible, and $\rho(A) = \rho(B)$ then $A = B$. We extend this result to a large class of band…

It is known that a positive commutator $C=A B - B A$ between positive operators on a Banach lattice is quasinilpotent whenever at least one of $A$ and $B$ is compact. In this paper we study the question under which conditions a positive…

Let L be a Banach lattice with order continuous norm, and let S be a multiplicative semigroup of ideal-triangularizable positive compact operators on L such that, for every pair A, B in S, the atomic diagonal of the commutator AB-BA is…

Let A and B be bounded operators on a Banach lattice E such that the commutator C=AB-BA and the product BA are positive operators. If the product AB is a power-compact operator, then C is a quasi-nilpotent operator having a triangularizing…

We work in an ordered Banach space with closed generating positive cone. We show that a positive compact operator has zero spectral radius or a positive eigenvector with the corresponding eigenvalue equal to the spectral radius.

A theorem of N. Katz \cite{Ka} p.45, states that an irreducible differential operator $L$ over a suitable differential field $k$, which has an isotypical decomposition over the algebraic closure of $k$, is a tensor product $L=M\otimes_k N$…

Similar to the theory of finite Markov chains it is shown that in a Banach space $X$ ordered by a closed cone $K$ with nonempty interior int($K$) a power bounded positive operator $A$ with compact power such that its trajectories for…

In this paper we study the norm-attainment of positive operators between Banach lattices. By considering an absolute version of James boundaries, we prove that: If $E$ is a reflexive Banach lattice whose order is given by a basis and $F$ is…

We show a Kalton-Weis type theorem for the general case of non-commuting operators. More precisely, we consider sums of two possibly non-commuting linear operators defined in a Banach space such that one of the operators admits a bounded…

First, we solve a crucial problem under which conditions increasing uniform K-monotonicity is equivalent to lower locally uniform K-monotonicity. Next, we investigate properties of substochastic operators on $L^1+L^\infty$ with…

Let $T$ be a bounded quaternionic normal operator on a right quaternionic Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. We show that $T$ can be factorized in a strongly irreducible sense, that is, for any $\delta >0$ there exist a compact operator $K$ with…

It is known that for every Banach space X and every proper WOT-closed subalgebra A of L(X), if A contains a compact operator then it is not transitive. That is, there exist non-zero x in X and f in X* such that f(Tx)=0 for all T in A. In…

Let $E$ and $F$ be Banach lattices. Let $G$ be a vector sublattice of $E$ and $T: G\rightarrow F$ be an order continuous positive compact (resp. weakly compact) operators. We show that if $G$ is an ideal or an order dense sublattice of $E$,…

We prove that an order continuous Banach lattice E is a KB-space if and only if each positive compact operator on E is a KB operator. We give conditions on quasi-KB (resp., quasi-Levi) operators to be KB (resp., Levi), study norm…

We consider a positive operator $A$ on a Hilbert lattice such that its self-commutator $C = A^* A - A A^*$ is positive. If $A$ is also idempotent, then it is an orthogonal projection, and so $C = 0$. Similarly, if $A$ is power compact, then…

Let $C$ be a closed convex cone in a Banach ideal space $X$ on a measurable space with a $\sigma$-finite measure. We prove that conditions $C\cap X_+=\{0\}$ and $C\supset -X_+$ imply the existence of a strictly positive continuous…

For linear operators $L, T$ and nonlinear maps $P$, we describe classes of simple maps $F = I - P T$, $F = L - P$ between Banach and Hilbert spaces, for which no point has more than two preimages. The classes encompass known examples…
