We give a sufficient condition for the sum of two closed operators to be closed. In particular, we study the sum of two sectorial operators with the sum of their sectoriality angles greater than $\pi$. We show that if one of the operators…

$V$ denotes arbitrary bounded bijection on Hilbert space $H$. We try to describe the sets of $V$-stable vectors, i.e. the set of elements $x$ of $H$ such that the sequence $\|V^N x\| (N=1,2,...)$ is bounded (we also consider some other…

In this article we extend the notion of quasi-nilpotent equivalent operators, introduced by Colojoara and Foias \cite{co1} for Banach spaces, to the class of bounded operators on sequentially complete locally convex spaces.

We generalize a preceding simple proof of the Jamiolkowski criterion to check whether a given linear map between algebras of operators is completely positive or not. The generalization is performed to embrace all algebras of Hilbert-Schmidt…

We prove that for every $p > 1$ and for every potential $V \in L^p$, any nonnegative function satisfying $-\Delta u + V u \ge 0$ in an open connected set of $\mathbb{R}^N$ is either identically zero or its level set $\{u = 0\}$ has zero…

We shall say that a densely defined closed operator $T$ on a Hilbert space is balanced if $\cD(T)=\cD(T^*)$. Balanced operators are described in terms of their phase operators abnd their moduli. Examples of balanced operators are developed.…

We give a detailed description of infinite locally nilpotent groups G such that the index |C_G (x) : <x>| is finite, for every non-normal cyclic subgroup <x> of G. We are also able to extend our analysis to all non-periodic groups…

We introduce a notion of a noncommutative function defined on a domain of $d$-tuples of bounded operators on an infinite dimensional Hilbert space. Inverse and implicit function theorems in this setting are established. When these…

We will give an abstract characterization of an arbitrary self-adjoint weak$^*$-closed subspace of $\mathcal{L}(H)$ (equipped with the induced matrix norm, the induced matrix cone and the induced weak$^*$-topology). In order to do this, we…

We investigate structural properties and normality criteria for certain classes of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space. We show that an operator $T$ with polar decomposition $T = U|T|$ is self-adjoint if and only if $T$ is…

Let $A$ and $B$ be two densely defined unbounded closeable operators in a Hilbert space such that their unbounded operator products $AB$ and $BA$ are also densely defined. Then all four operators possess adjoints and we obtain new inclusion…

Nilpotent evolution algebras of maximal nilindex admit a natural basis in which the structure matrix is strictly upper triangular. In this paper we classify Rota{Baxter operators of weights zero and one on such algebras. We prove that every…

We consider the Pauli operator in $\mathbb R^3$ for magnetic fields in $L^{3/2}$ that decay at infinity as $|x|^{-2-\beta}$ with $\beta > 0$. In this case we are able to prove that the existence of a zero mode for this operator is…

We study the spectral properties of positive absolutely minimum attaining operators defined on infinite dimensional complex Hilbert spaces and using that derive a characterization theorem for such type of operators. We construct several…

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…

Working over an infinite field of positive characteristic, an upper bound is given for the nilpotency index of a finitely generated nil algebra of bounded nil index $n$ in terms of the maximal degree in a minimal homogenous generating…

For $G$ a finite group, let $d_2(G)$ denote the proportion of triples $(x, y, z) \in G^3$ such that $[x, y, z] = 1$. We determine the structure of finite groups $G$ such that $d_2(G)$ is bounded away from zero: if $d_2(G) \geq \epsilon >…

We give a self-contained and introductory account of some basic functional analytic tools needed to understand maximal monotone operators in Hilbert spaces. We review domains of (possibly unbounded) operators, closed sets and closed…

This paper is devoted to the partial null controllability issue of parabolic linear systems with n equations. Given a bounded domain in R N, we study the effect of m localized controls in a nonempty open subset only controlling p components…

Let $F$ be a field, char$(F)\neq 2$. Then every finite-dimensional $F$-algebra has either an idempotent or an absolute nilpotent if and only if over $F$ every polynomial of odd degree has a root in $F$. This is also necessary and sufficient…
