We consider two algorithms which can be used for proving positivity of sequences that are defined by a linear recurrence equation with polynomial coefficients (P-finite sequences). Both algorithms have in common that while they do succeed…

In this paper we introduce and study absolute continuity and singularity of positive operators acting on anti-dual pairs. We establish a general theorem that can be considered as a common generalization of various earlier Lebesgue-type…
In this note we present criteria on both symbols and integral kernels ensuring that the corresponding operators on compact manifolds belong to Schatten classes. A specific test for nuclearity is established as well as the corresponding…
In this paper, we investigate the existence of nonnegative solutions for the problem $$ -\mathcal{L}_{K}u+V(x)u=f(u) $$ in $\mathbb R^n$, where $-\mathcal{L}_{K}$ is a integro-differential operator with measurable kernel $K$ and $V$ is a…
We generalize the characterization theorem going back to Mercer and Young, which states that a symmetric and continuous kernel is positive definite if and only if it is integrally positive definite, to matrix-valued kernels on separable…
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…
In this article, we conduct a study of integral operators defined in terms of non-convolution type kernels with singularities of various degrees. The operators that fall within our scope of research include fractional integrals, fractional…
Let $E$ be an $1$-Ahlfors regular subset of the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}$. We prove that there exists a $-1$-homogeneous kernel $K_1$ such that if $E$ is contained in a $1$-regular curve the corresponding singular integral is bounded in…
We introduce a Morita type equivalence: two operator algebras $A$ and $B$ are called strongly $\Delta $-equivalent if they have completely isometric representations $\alpha $ and $\beta $ respectively and there exists a ternary ring of…
We study perturbed Bessel operators $L_{m^2}=- \partial^2_x + ( m^2 - \frac14 )\frac{1}{x^2} + Q(x)$ on $L^2]0,\infty[$, where $m\in\mathbb{C}$ and $Q$ is a complex locally integrable potential. Assuming that $Q$ is integrable near $\infty$…
A bounded operator $u$ on $X$ is called rigid when there is an increasing sequence of positive integers $(n_k)_{k\geq 1}$, such that for every $x$ in $X$ we have $\lim_{k \rightarrow +\infty} u^{n_k} x = x$. For any $r$ in $[0,1]$, we…
Convolution is an important tool in the construction of positive definite kernels on a manifold. This contribution provides conditions on an $L^2$-positive definite and zonal kernel on the unit sphere of $\mathbb{C}^q$ in order that the…
A well-known theorem factors a scalar coefficient differential operator given a linearly independent set of functions in its kernel. The goal of this paper is to generalize this useful result to other types of operators. In place of the…
We obtain global pointwise estimates for kernels of the resolvents $(I-T)^{-1}$ of integral operators \[Tf(x) = \int_{\Omega} K(x, y) f(y) d \omega(y)\] on $L^2(\Omega, \omega)$ under the assumptions that $||T||_{L^2(\omega) \rightarrow L^2…
Kernel theorems, in general, provide a convenient representation of bounded linear operators. For the operator acting on a concrete function space, this means that its action on any element of the space can be expressed as a generalised…
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…

Given a linear recurrence sequence (LRS) over the integers, the Positivity Problem} asks whether all terms of the sequence are positive. We show that, for simple LRS (those whose characteristic polynomial has no repeated roots) of order 9…
The paper deals with periodic homogenization of nonlocal symmetric convolution type operators in $L^2(\mathbb R^d)$, whose kernel is the product of a density that belongs to the domain of attraction of an $\alpha$-stable law and a rapidly…
