The stochastic generators of Markov-regular operator cocycles on symmetric Fock space are studied in a variety of cases: positive cocycles, projection cocycles, and partially isometric cocycles. Moreover a class of transformations of…
We develop a systematic theory of eventually positive semigroups of linear operators mainly on spaces of continuous functions. By eventually positive we mean that for every positive initial condition the solution to the corresponding Cauchy…
This paper contributes to the analysis of the peripheral (point) spectrum of positive linear operators on Banach lattices. We show that, under appropriate growth and regularity conditions, the peripheral point spectrum of a positive…
Similar to the theory of finite Markov chains it is shown that in a Banach space $X$ ordered by a closed cone $K$ with nonempty interior int($K$) a power bounded positive operator $A$ with compact power such that its trajectories for…
This article develops a general framework for Laplace duality between positive Markov processes in which the one-dimensional Laplace transform of one process can be represented through that of another. We show that a process admits a…
We work in an ordered Banach space with closed generating positive cone. We show that a positive compact operator has zero spectral radius or a positive eigenvector with the corresponding eigenvalue equal to the spectral radius.
We prove a Landis type unique continuation result for positive quasi-linear operators on graphs. Specifically, we give decay criteria that ensures when a harmonic function for a positive quasilinear Schr\"odinger operator with potential…
This paper considers strongly continuous semigroups of operators on Banach lattices which are locally eventually positive, a property that was first investigated in the context of concrete fourth-order evolution equations. We construct a…
We characterize the positive Schur property in the positive projective tensor products of Banach lattices, we establish the connection with the weak operator topology and we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the space of regular…
We consider linear operators defined on a subspace of a complex Banach space into its topological antidual acting positively in a natural sense. The goal of this paper is to investigate of this kind of operators. The main theorem is a…
This paper is devoted to the generalization of the theory of total positivity. We say that a linear operator A in R^n is generalized totally positive (GTP), if its jth exterior power preserves a proper cone K_j in the corresponding space…
In this note we study the Landis conjecture for positive Schr\"odin\-ger operators on graphs. More precisely, we prove a Landis-type result in the form of a decay criterion that ensures when $\mathcal{H}$-harmonic functions for a positive…
We initiate a theory of locally eventually positive operator semigroups on Banach lattices. Intuitively this means: given a positive initial datum, the solution of the corresponding Cauchy problem becomes (and stays) positive in a part of…
The phenomenological dissipation of the Bloch equations is reexamined in the context of completely positive maps. Such maps occur if the dissipation arises from a reduction of a unitary evolution of a system coupled to a reservoir. In such…
We consider the Schr\"odinger operator $-\Delta+V$ for negative potentials $V$, on open sets with positive first eigenvalue of the Dirichlet-Laplacian. We show that the spectrum of $-\Delta+V$ is positive, provided that $V$ is greater than…
An intriguing feature of positive $C_0$-semigroups on function spaces (or more generally on Banach lattices) is that their long-time behaviour is much easier to describe than it is for general semigroups. In particular, the convergence of…
We link the study of positive quantum maps, block positive operators, and entanglement witnesses with problems related to multivariate polynomials. For instance, we show how indecomposable block positive operators relate to biquadratic…
In this paper we introduce and study a new sequence of positive linear operators acting on function spaces defined on a convex compact subset. Their construction depends on a given Markov operator, a positive real number and a sequence of…
We prove the continuity and strict positivity of the multi-layer extension to the stochastic heat equation introduced in [OW11] which form a hierarchy of partition functions for the continuum directed random polymer. This shows that the…
The question of which functions acting entrywise preserve positive semidefiniteness has a long history, beginning with the Schur product theorem [Crelle 1911], which implies that absolutely monotonic functions (i.e., power series with…
