Let ${\mathcal B}(H)$ denote the Banach algebra of all bounded linear operators on a complex Hilbert space $H$ with $\dim H\geq 3$, and let $\mathcal A$ and $\mathcal B$ be subsets of ${\mathcal B}(H)$ which contain all rank one operators.…

Assume that $Au=f,\quad (1)$ is a solvable linear equation in a Hilbert space $H$, $A$ is a linear, closed, densely defined, unbounded operator in $H$, which is not boundedly invertible, so problem (1) is ill-posed. It is proved that the…

Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a separable von Neumann algebra with center $\mathcal{Z}(\mathcal{M})$. An operator $T$ in $\mathcal{M}$ is called irreducible if the von Neumann algebra $W^*(T)$ generated by $T$ has trivial relative commutant, i.e.,…

Let $k$ be a field. We consider triples $(V,U,T)$, where $V$ is a finite dimensional $k$-space, $U$ a subspace of $V$ and $T \:V \to V$ a linear operator with $T^n = 0$ for some $n$, and such that $T(U) \subseteq U$. Thus, $T$ is a…
