We consider a symmetric matrix, the entries of which depend linearly on some parameters. The domains of the parameters are compact real intervals. We investigate the problem of checking whether for each (or some) setting of the parameters,…

In this paper we study the continuous dynamical sampling problem at infinite time in a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. We find necessary and sufficient conditions on a bounded linear operator $A\in\mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H})$ and a set of…

We study continuity and equicontinuity of semigroups on norming dual pairs with respect to topologies defined in terms of the duality. In particular, we address the question whether continuity of a semigroup already implies (local/quasi)…

When we are interested in the long-term behaviour of solutions to linear evolution equations, a large variety of techniques from the theory of $C_0$-semigroups is at our disposal. However, if we consider for instance parabolic equations…

We introduce the notion of an asymptotically equicontinuous sequence of linear operators, and use it to prove the following result. If $X,Y$ are topological vector spaces, if $T_n,T:X\to Y$ are continuous linear maps, and if $D$ is a dense…

In this paper, we give conditions forcing nilpotent matrices (and bounded linear operators in general) to be null or equivalently to be normal. Therefore, a non-zero operator having e.g. a positive real part is never nilpotent. The case of…

We consider the characteristic time operator $\mathsf{T}$ introduced in [E. A. Galapon, Proc. R. Soc. Lond. A, 458:2671 (2002)] which is bounded and self-adjoint. For a semibounded discrete Hamiltonian $\mathsf{H}$ with some growth…

We characterize positivity preserving maps $T: B(\mathcal{H})_h \otimes \mathbb{R}[x_1, \dots, x_n] \to B(\mathcal{H})_h \otimes \mathbb{R}[x_1, \dots, x_n]$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ and on compact sets $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$. This also…

The well-known Batty's theorem states that if a $C_0$-semigroup $T(t)$ is bounded and the spectrum of the generator $A$ is contained in the open left-half plane of $\mathbb{C}$, then $\|T(t)A^{-1}\|$ tends to $0$. This can be thought of as…

In this paper, we study algorithmic problems for automaton semigroups and automaton groups related to freeness and finiteness. In the course of this study, we also exhibit some connections between the algebraic structure of automaton…

We study maximal regularity with respect to continuous functions for strongly continuous semigroups on locally convex spaces as well as its relation to the notion of admissible operators. This extends several results for classical strongly…

Given a family of self-adjoint operators $(A_t)_{t\in T}$ indexed by a parameter $t$ in some topological space $T$, necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the spectrum $\sigma(A_t)$ to be Vietoris continuous with respect to $t$.…

A real sequence $(a_k)_{k=0}^\infty$ is called {\it totally positive} if all minors of the infinite Toeplitz matrix $ \left\| a_{j-i} \right\|_{i, j =0}^\infty$ are nonnegative (here $a_k=0$ for $k<0$). In this paper, which continues our…

We study semigroups of bounded operators on a Banach space such that the members of the semigroup are continuous with respect to various weak topologies and we give sufficient conditions for the generator of the semigroup to be closed with…

For an infinite Toeplitz matrix $T$ with nonnegative real entries we find the conditions, under which the equation $\boldsymbol{x}=T\boldsymbol{x}$, where $\boldsymbol{x}$ is an infinite vector-column, has a nontrivial bounded positive…

We prove that if $\{\phi_t\}_{t \geq 0}$ is a CP-semigroup acting on a von Neumann algebra $M \subseteq B(H)$, then for every $A\in M$ and $\xi \in H$, the map $t \mapsto \phi_t(A)\xi$ is norm-continuous. We discuss the implications of this…

Let $X$ be a Banach space, and $T:[0,\infty)\rightarrow {\mathcal{L}}(X,X),$ the bounded linear operators on $X.$ A family $\{T(t)\}_{t\ge 0}\subseteq {% \mathcal{L}}(X,X)$ is called a one-parameter semigroup if $T(s+t)=T(s)T(t),$ and…

In this paper, we give conditions forcing nilpotent operators (everywhere bounded or closed) to be null. More precisely, it is mainly shown any closed or everywhere defined bounded nilpotent operator with a positive (self-adjoint) real part…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite index subgroup of the mapping class group $MCG(\Sigma)$ of a closed orientable surface $\Sigma$, possibly with punctures. We give a precise condition (in terms of the Nielsen-Thurston decomposition) when an element…

A well-known fact in linear algebra is that $A^T A$ is always positive semi-definite for any real matrix $A$. We consider a generalization of this fact via the following decision problem. Given a symbolic product of length $k$, consisting…
