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…

Relatively uniformly continuous (ruc) semigroups were recently introduced and studied by Kandi\'c, Kramar-Fijav\v{z}, and the second-named author, in order to make the theory of one-parameter operator semigroups available in the setting of…

We consider an extendible endomorphism $\alpha$ of a $C^*$-algebra $A$. We associate to it a canonical $C^*$-dynamical system $(B,\beta)$ that extends $(A,\alpha)$ and is `reversible' in the sense that the endomorphism $\beta$ admits a…

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…

Let $I_{\alpha}$ be the linear and $\mathcal{I}_{\alpha}$ be the bilinear fractional integral operators. In the linear setting, it is known that the two-weight inequality holds for the first order commutators of $I_{\alpha}$. But the method…

We establish a spectral characterization theorem for the operators on complex Hilbert spaces of arbitrary dimensions that attain their norm on every closed subspace. The class of these operators is not closed under addition. Nevertheless,…

In this paper we introduce the concept of a nonnegative rank of a positive operator $T\colon X\to Y$ between ordered vector spaces. In the case of nonnegative matrices, our definition agrees with the standard definition of a nonnegative…

Equational theories that contain axioms expressing associativity and commutativity (AC) of certain operators are ubiquitous. Theorem proving methods in such theories rely on well-founded orders that are compatible with the AC axioms. In…

A restatement of the Algebraic Dichotomy Conjecture, due to Maroti and McKenzie, postulates that if a finite algebra A possesses a weak near-unanimity term, then the corresponding constraint satisfaction problem is tractable. A binary…

Quasi *-algebras form an essential class of partial *-algebras, which are algebras of unbounded operators. In this work, we aim to construct tensor products of normed, respectively Banach quasi *-algebras, and study their capacity to…

By a bounded backward sequence of the operator $T$ we mean a bounded sequence $\{x_n\}$ satisfying $Tx_{n+1}=x_n$. In \cite{Pa} we have characterized contractions with strongly stable nonunitary part in terms of bounded backward sequences.…

Let H be a separable, infinite dimensional Hilbert space and let S be a countable subset of H. Then most positive operators on H have the property that every nonzero vector in the span of S is cyclic, in the sense that the set of operators…

Let $F$ be a field of characteristic $\ne 2,3$ and let $A$ be a unital associative $F$-algebra. Define a left-normed commutator $[a_1, a_2, \dots , a_n]$ $(a_i \in A)$ recursively by $[a_1, a_2] = a_1 a_2 - a_2 a_1$, $[a_1, \dots , a_{n-1},…

An open question, raised independently by several authors, asks if a closed amenable subalgebra of ${\mathcal B}({\mathcal H})$ must be similar to an amenable C*-algebra; the question remains open even for singly-generated algebras. In this…

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…

Given a complex Banach space $X$, let $\mathcal{B}(X)$ be the collection of all bounded linear operators on $X.$ For $A,B\in\mathcal{B}(X)$ we define $A,B$ are $A$-weakly commutative if there exists $C\in\mathcal{B}(X)$ satisfying…

The construction of frames for a Hilbert space H can be equated to the decomposition of the frame operator as a sum of positive operators having rank one. This realization provides a different approach to questions regarding frames with…

We consider a class of bounded linear operators between Banach spaces, which we call operators with the Kato property, that includes the family of strictly singular operators between those spaces. We show that if $T:E\to F$ is a dense-range…

A set of bounded linear operators from a Banach space to a Banach lattice is collectively L-weakly compact whenever union of images of the unit ball is L-weakly compact. We extend the Meyer-Nieberg duality theorem to collectively L-weakly…

This paper is about the connection between certain Banach-algebraic properties of a commutative Banach algebra $E$ with unit and the associated commutative Banach algebra $C(X,E)$ of all continuous functions from a compact Hausdorff space…
