Operator matrices have played a significant role in studying Hilbert space operators. In this paper, we discuss further properties of operator matrices and present new estimates for the operator norms and numerical radii of such operators.…

It is observed that the infinite matrix with entries $(\sqrt{mn}\log (mn))^{-1}$ for $m, n\ge 2$ appears as the matrix of the integral operator $\mathbf{H}f(s):=\int_{1/2}^{+\infty}f(w)(\zeta(w+s)-1)dw$ with respect to the basis…

We prove that the set of all complex symmetric operators on a separable, infinite-dimensional Hilbert space is not norm closed.

In this paper we show that the closure of the numerical range of an $n+1$-periodic tridiagonal operator is equal to the numerical range of a $2(n+1)\times 2(n+1)$ complex matrix.

We systematically derive general properties of continuous and holomorphic functions with values in closed operators, allowing in particular for operators with empty resolvent set. We provide criteria for a given operator-valued function to…

The paper introduces unbounded antilinear operators on Hilbert spaces and develops their fundamental theory. In particular, we establish a closed range theorem, a polar decomposition theorem, and the convexity of the numerical range for…

We study singular Schr\"odinger operators on a finite interval as selfadjoint extensions of a symmetric operator. We give sufficient conditions for the symmetric operator to be in the $n$-entire class, which was defined in our previous…

We study the spectrum of the Finsler--Laplace operator for regular Hilbert geometries, defined by convex sets with $C^2$ boundaries. We show that for an $n$-dimensional geometry, the spectral gap is bounded above by $(n-1)^2/4$, which we…

We extend an example of B. Aupetit, which illustrates spectral discontinuity for operators on an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space, to a general spectral discontinuity result in abstract Banach algebras. This can then be used to…

Famous results due to von Neumann, Sz.-Nagy and Arveson assert that the following four statements are equivalent; a Hilbert space operator $T$ is a contraction; the closed unit disk $\overline{\mathbb D}$ is a spectral set for $T$; $T$ can…

We propose a new viewpoint on Hilbert scales extending them by means of all Hilbert spaces that are interpolation ones between spaces on the scale. We prove that this extension admits an explicit description with the help of…

In this paper we compute the closure of the numerical range of certain periodic tridiagonal operators. This is achieved by showing that the closure of the numerical range of such operators can be expressed as the closure of the convex hull…

Some new inequalities for the norm and the numerical radius of composite operators generated by a pair of operators are given.

Based on a thorough numerical analysis of the spectrum of Harper's operator, which describes, e.g., an electron on a two-dimensional lattice subjected to a magnetic field perpendicular to the lattice plane, we make the following conjecture:…

We obtain upper bounds for the numerical radius of a product of Hilbert space operators which improve on the existing upper bounds. We generalize the numerical radius inequalities of $n\times n$ operator matrices by using non-negative…

In this paper, we define a new concept of numerical range $W_{o}(\cdot)$ and prove its basic results. We also define the numerical radius $\omega_{o}(\cdot)$ and prove that $$\omega_{o}(T)\leq||| T|||\leq 2\omega_{o}(T).$$
