The "similarity" degree of a unital operator algebra $A$ was defined and studied in two recent papers of ours, where in particular we showed that it coincides with the "length" of an operator algebra. This paper brings several complements:…
We present an operator algebraic approach to Wigner's unitary-antiunitary theorem using some classical results from ring theory. To show how effective this approach is, we prove a generalization of this celebrated theorem for Hilbert…
Let $L$ be a linear differential operator with constant coefficients of order $n$ and complex eigenvalues $\lambda_{0},...,\lambda_{n}$. Assume that the set $U_{n}$ of all solutions of the equation $Lf=0$ is closed under complex…
In this paper we introduce an enclosure of the numerical range of a class of rational operator functions. In contrast to the numerical range the presented enclosure can be computed exactly in the infinite dimensional case as well as in the…
In the present article we define and investigate relative Rota--Baxter operators and relative averaging operators on racks and rack algebras. Also, if B is a Rota--Baxter or averaging operator on a rack X, then we can extend B by linearity…
The starting points for this paper are simple descriptions of the norm and strong* closures of the unitary orbit of a normal operator in a von Neumann algebra. The statements are in terms of spectral data and do not depend on the type or…
We study (von Neumann) regular $^*$-subalgebras of $B(H)$, which we call R$^*$-algebras. The class of R$^*$-algebras coincides with that of "E$^*$-algebras that are pre-C$^*$-algebras" in the sense of Z. Sz\H{u}cs and B. Tak\'acs. We give…
In this note we address various algorithmic problems that arise in the computation of the operator norm in unitary representations of a group on Hilbert space. We show that the operator norm in the universal unitary representation is…
All operator algebras have (not necessarily irreducible) boundary representations. A unital operator algebra has enough such boundary representations to generate its C*-envelope.
Several upper and lower bounds for the numerical radius of $2 \times 2$ operator matrices are developed which refine and generalize the earlier related bounds. In particular, we show that if $B,C$ are bounded linear operators on a complex…
We consider problems associated with the computation of spectra of self-adjoint operators in terms of the eigenvalue distributions of their n x n sections. Under rather general circumstances, we show how these eigenvalues accumulate near…
We study the range of a classifiable class ${\cal A}$ of unital separable simple amenable $C^*$-algebras which satisfy the Universal Coefficient Theorem. The class ${\cal A}$ contains all unital simple AH-algebras. We show that all unital…
Researchers have identified complex matrices $A$ such that a bounded linear operator $B$ acting on a Hilbert space will admit a dilation of the form $A \otimes I$ whenever the numerical range inclusion relation $W(B) \subseteq W(A)$ holds.…
In this paper, we apply quantitative operator K-theory to develop an algorithm for computing K-theory for the class of filtered C *-algebras with asymptotic finite nuclear decomposition. As a consequence, we prove the K{\"u}nneth formula…
Some elementary inequalities providing upper bounds for the difference of the norm and the numerical radius of a bounded linear operator on Hilbert spaces under appropriate conditions are given.
In this article we study Foelner sequences for operators and mention their relation to spectral approximation problems. We construct a canonical Foelner sequence for the crossed product of a discrete amenable group $\Gamma$ with a concrete…
Suppose $T$ and $S$ are bounded adjointable operators with close range between Hilbert C*-modules, then $TS$ has closed range if and only if $Ker(T)+Ran(S)$ is an orthogonal summand, if and only if $Ker(S^*)+Ran(T^*)$ is an orthogonal…
We transcribe a portion of the theory of extensions of C*-algebras to general operator algebras. We also include several new general facts about approximately unital ideals in operator algebras and the C*-algebras which they generate.
In this article we deal with the stability and convergence of numerical solutions of nonlinear evolution equations of the form $A(u(t))+f(u(t))=u'(t)$, the numerical analysis of solutions to this problems will be performed using some…
Given any irreducible inclusion $\mB \subset \mA$ of unital $C^*$-algebras with a finite-index conditional expectation $E: \mA \to \mB$, we show that the set of $E$-compatible intermediate $C^*$-subalgebras is finite, thereby generalizing a…
