We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a pair $S,T$ of Hilbert space operators in order that they satisfy $S^*=T$ and $T^*=S$. As a main result we establish an improvement of von Neumann's classical theorem on the positive…

We study the generalization of $m$-isometries and $m$-contractions (for positive integers $m$) to what we call $a$-isometries and $a$-contractions for positive real numbers $a$. We show that any Hilbert space operator, satisfying an…

Let $T$ be a densely defined closed symmetric operator with equal deficiency indices in a separable complex Hilbert space $H$. In this paper, we prove that $T$ has a self-adjoint extension with compact resolvent if and only if the domain…

The Krein-von Neumann extension is studied for Schr\"odinger operators on metric graphs. Among other things, its vertex conditions are expressed explicitly, and its relation to other self-adjoint vertex conditions (e.g.…

M. Krein proved in 1948 that if T is a continuous operator on a normed space leaving invariant an open cone, then its adjoint T* has an eigenvector. We present generalizations of this result as well as some applications to C*-algebras,…

In this work we treat realization results for operator-valued functions which are analytic in the complex sense or slice hyperholomorphic over the quaternions. In the complex setting, we prove a realization theorem for an operator-valued…

In this work, the mixed Schwarz inequality for semi-Hilbertian space operators is proved. Namely, for every positive Hilbert space operator $A$. If $f$ and $g$ are nonnegative continuous functions on $\left[0,\infty\right)$ satisfying…

We introduce the notion of Krein-operator convexity in the setting of Krein spaces. We present an indefinite version of the Jensen operator inequality on Krein spaces by showing that if $(\mathscr{H},J)$ is a Krein space, $\mathcal{U}$ is…

This paper is a continuation of our previous work \cite{wang2024complex}. It mainly deals with entire operators $T$ with deficiency index 1 \emph{systematically} from the complex-geometric viewpoint proposed in \cite{wang2024complex}. We…

We provide sufficient conditions for vector-valued Fredholm integral operators and their commonly used spatial discretizations to be positive in terms of an order relation induced by a corresponding order cone. It turns out that reasonable…

In [U] (among other results), M. Uchiyama gave the necessary and sufficient conditions for contractions to be similar to the unilateral shift $S$ of multiplicity $1$ in terms of norm-estimates of complete analytic families of eigenvectors…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for real sequences to be the spectra of selfadjoint extensions of an entire operator whose domain may be non-dense. For this spectral characterization we use de Branges space techniques and a…

A spectral representation for solutions to linear Hamilton equations with nonnegative energy in Hilbert spaces is obtained. This paper continues our previous work on Hamilton equations with positive definite energy. Our approach is a…

Let $T$ be a bounded linear operator on a Hilbert space $H$ such that \[ \alpha[T^*,T]:=\sum_{n=0}^\infty \alpha_n T^{*n}T^n\ge 0. \] where $\alpha(t)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty \alpha_n t^n$ is a suitable analytic function in the unit disc…

For a {bounded} non-negative self-adjoint operator acting in a complex, infinite-dimensional, separable Hilbert space H and possessing a dense range R we propose a new approach to characterisation of phenomenon concerning the existence of…

We improve known perturbation results for self-adjoint operators in Hilbert spaces and prove spectral enclosures for diagonally dominant $J$-self-adjoint operator matrices. These are used in the proof of the central result, a perturbation…

The aim of this paper is to develop an approach to obtain self-adjoint extensions of symmetric operators acting on anti-dual pairs. The main advantage of such a result is that it can be applied for structures not carrying a Hilbert space…
