The composition operators preserving total non-negativity and total positivity for various classes of kernels are classified, following three themes. Letting a function act by post composition on kernels with arbitrary domains, it is shown…
We apply G-convergence theory to study the asymptotic of the eigenvalue problems of positive definite bounded self-adjoint $h$-dependent operators as $h\to\infty$. Two operators are considered; a second order elliptic operator and a general…
In this article we consider means of positive bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space. We present a complete theory that provides a framework which extends the theory of the Karcher mean, its approximating matrix power means, and a…
A quasi-automatic semigroup is defined by a finite set of generators, a rational (regular) set of representatives, such that if a is a generator or neutral, then the graph of right multiplication by a on the set of representatives is a…
This paper addresses extensions of the complex Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup to operator algebras in free probability theory. If $a_1,...,a_k$ are $\ast$-free $\mathscr{R}$-diagonal operators in a $\mathrm{II}_1$ factor, then $D_t(a_{i_1}...…
We describe a class of topological vector spaces admitting a mixing uniformly continuous operator group ${T_t}_{t\in\C^n}$ with holomorphic dependence on the parameter $t$. This result covers those existing in the literature. We also…
We develop an algorithm that computes strongly continuous semigroups on infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces with explicit error control. Given a generator $A$, a time $t>0$, an arbitrary initial vector $u_0$ and an error tolerance…
This is a survey paper concerned with strongly continuous semigroups in a Banach algebra (often itself simply the algebra of bounded linear operators on a Banach space). These are defined either on $(0,\infty)$ or on a sector in the complex…
In a recent article, Arendt and ter Elst have shown that every sectorial form is in a natural way associated with the generator of an analytic strongly continuous semigroup, even if the form fails to be closable. As an intermediate step…
Inspired by some problems in Quantum Information Theory, we present some results concerning decompositions of positive operators acting on finite dimensional Hilbert spaces. We focus on decompositions by families having geometrical symmetry…
We develop a general, functional calculus approach to approximation of $C_0$-semigroups on Banach spaces by bounded completely monotone functions of their generators. The approach comprises most of well-known approximation formulas, yields…
In this note, we answer a question raised by Johnson and Schechtman \cite{JS}, about the hypercontractive semigroup on $\{-1,1\}^{\NN}$. More generally, we prove the folllowing theorem. Let $1<p<2$. Let $(T(t))_{t>0}$ be a holomorphic…
Let $A,$ $T$ and $B$ be bounded linear operators on a Banach space. This paper is concerned mainly with finding some necessary and sufficient conditions for convergence in operator norm of the sequences $\left\{ A^{n}TB^{n}\right\} $ and…
We perform an in-depth study of some domination and smoothing properties of linear operators and of their role within the theory of eventually positive operator semigroups. On the one hand we prove that, on many important function spaces,…
We consider generators of positive $C_0$-semigroups and, more generally, resolvent positive operators $A$ on ordered Banach spaces and seek for conditions ensuring the negativity of their spectral bound $s(A)$. Our main result characterizes…
It is folklore that a power bounded operator on a sequentially complete locally convex space generates a uniformly continuous $C_0$-semigroup which is given by the corresponding power series representation. Recently, Doma\'nski asked if in…
We present a generalization of Krein-\v{S}mul'jan theorem which involves several operators. Given bounded selfadjoint operators $A,B_1,\ldots,B_m$ acting on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, we provide sufficient conditions to determine…
We study operator semigroups in the Calkin algebra $\mathcal{Q}(\mathcal{H})$, represented as a subalgebra of the algebra of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space via one of `canonical' Calkin's representations. Using the BDF theory,…
We prove explicitly that to every discrete, semibounded Hamiltonian with constant degeneracy and with finite sum of the squares of the reciprocal of its eigenvalues and whose eigenvectors span the entire Hilbert space there exists a…
A semiregular operator on a Hilbert C^*-module, or equivalently, on the C^*-algebra of `compact' operators on it, is a closable densely defined operator whose adjoint is also densely defined. It is shown that for operators on extensions of…
