We prove several lower bounds for the norm of a truncated Toeplitz operator and obtain a curious relationship between the $H^2$ and $H^{\infty}$ norms of functions in model spaces.

In this paper we use basic properties of strongly convex functions to obtain new inequalities including Jensen's type and Jensen-Mercer type inequalities. Applications for special means are pointed out as well. We also give a Jensen's…

We prove that the backward shift operator on $H^4$ has norm equal to $\sqrt[4]{\varphi}$, with $\varphi = \frac{1 + \sqrt{5}}{2}$. Furthermore, we characterize all extremal functions; they are precisely the functions of the form \[ f(z) =…

We compute the exact $L^2$ operator norm of the Cauchy transform \[ (C_\Omega f)(z)=\frac1\pi\int_\Omega \frac{f(w)}{z-w}\,dA(w) \] on a circular annulus $\Omega=A(r,R)=\{r<|z|<R\}$. Exploiting rotational symmetry and a Fourier mode…

For $f(z) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_n z^n$ and a fixed $z$ in the unit disk, $|z| = r,$ the Bohr operator $\mathcal{M}_r$ is given by \[\mathcal{M}_r (f) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} |a_n| |z^n| = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} |a_n| r^n.\] This papers…

Let $\mathscr{H}^2$ denote the Hardy space of Dirichlet series $f(s) = \sum_{n\geq1} a_n n^{-s}$ with square summable coefficients and suppose that $\varphi$ is a symbol generating a composition operator on $\mathscr{H}^2$ by…

Let $A$ be a positive bounded linear operator on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ and $\mathcal{B}_{A}(\mathcal{H})$ be the subspace of all operators which admit $A$-adjoints operators. In this paper, we establish some inequalities…

We give an alternative proof to Agler's famous result on success of rational dilation on an annulus by an application of a result due to Dritschel and McCullough. We show interplay between operators associated with an annulus, $C_{1,r}$ or…

In this paper we solve the problem of approximating functionals $(\varphi(A)x, f)$ (where $\varphi(A)$ is some function of self-adjoint operator $A$) on the class of elements of a Hilbert space that is defined with the help of another…

We prove that, given a constant $K> 2$ and a bounded linear operator $T$ from a JB$^*$-triple $E$ into a complex Hilbert space $H$, there exists a norm-one functional $\psi\in E^*$ satisfying $$\|T(x)\| \leq K \, \|T\| \, \|x\|_{\psi},$$…

Let $A = U |A|$ be the polar decomposition of $A$. The Aluthge transform of the operator $A$, denoted by $\tilde{A}$, is defined as $\tilde{A} =|A|^{\frac{1}{2}} U |A|^{\frac{1}{2}}$. In this paper, first we generalize the definition of…

The main result is a test function style commutant lifting theorem for an annulus A. The test functions are the minimal inner functions for A. The model space is the Sarason Hardy Hilbert space for A uniquely determined by the fact that its…

For weighted Toeplitz operators $\T^N_\phi$ defined on spaces of holomorphic functions in the unit ball, we derive regularity properties of the solutions $f$ to the integral equation $\T^N_\phi(f)=h$ in terms of the regularity of the symbol…

In this paper, we use a new method to solve a long-standing problem. More specifically, we show that the Beurling-type theorem holds in the Bergman space $A^2_\alpha(D)$ for any $-1<\alpha < +\infty$. That is, every invariant subspace $H$…

We establish a new description of the Schur-Agler norm of a holomorphic function on the polydisc as the solution of a convex optimization problem. Consequences of this description are explored both from a theoretical and from a practical…

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…
