In 1968, Paul Halmos initiated the research on density of the set of irreducible operators on a separable Hilbert space. Through the research, a long-standing unsolved problem inquires: is the set of irreducible operators dense in $B(H)$…

We use weighted polynomial approximation to prove the existence of a compact set K with non-empty interior and a function f is dense in the space A(K) of all continuous functions on K that are holomorphic in the interior of K, endowed with…

According to a folklore characterization of supercompact spaces, a compact Hausdorff space is supercompact if and only if it has a binary closed $k$-network. This characterization suggests to call a topological space $super$ if it has a…

In this paper, we prove the boundedness of matrix Hausdorff operators and rough Hausdorff operators in the two weighted Herz-type Hardy spaces associated with both power weights and Muckenhoupt weights. By applying the fact that the…

In this paper we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of non-norm-attaining operators in $\mathcal{L}(E, F)$. By using a theorem due to Pfitzner on James boundaries, we show that if there exists a relatively compact…

We provide sufficient conditions on a Banach space $X$ in order that there exist norm attaining operators of rank at least two from $X$ into any Banach space of dimension at least two. For example, a rather weak such condition is the…

Let $K$ be the attractor of a linear iterated function system (IFS) $S_j(x)=\rho_jx+b_j,$ $j=1,\cdots,m$, on the real line satisfying the generalized finite type condition (whose invariant open set $\mathcal{O}$ is an interval) with an…

The notions of shyness and prevalence generalize the property of being zero and full Haar measure to arbitrary (not necessarily locally compact) Polish groups. The main goal of the paper is to answer the following question: What can we say…

We study two-point functions of symmetric traceless local operators in the bulk of de Sitter spacetime. We derive the K\"all\'en-Lehmann spectral decomposition for any spin and show that unitarity implies its spectral densities are…

This paper aims to study reducible and irreducible approximation in the set $\textsl{CSO}$ of all complex symmetric operators on a separable, complex Hilbert space $\mathcal H$. When ${\rm dim} \mathcal H=\infty$, it is proved that both…

The aim of this note is to obtain results about when the norm of a projective tensor product is strongly subdifferentiable. We prove that if $X\hat{\otimes}_\pi Y$ is strongly subdifferentiable and either $X$ or $Y$ has the metric…

We investigate the norm identity $\|uC_\phi + T\| = \|u\|_\infty + \|T\|$ for classes of operators on $C(S)$, where $S$ is a compact Hausdorff space without isolated point, and characterize those weighted composition operators which satisfy…

There are presented certain results on extending continuous linear operators defined on spaces of E-valued continuous functions (defined on a compact Hausdorff space X) to linear operators defined on spaces of E-valued measurable functions…

For a non-empty locally compact Hausdorff space $X$ and a Dedekind complete normal vector lattice $E$, we show that the vector lattice of norm to order bounded operators from ${\text C}_{\text c}(X)$ or ${\text C}_0(X)$ into $E$ is…

We prove that for each dense non-compact linear operator $S:X\to Y$ between Banach spaces there is a linear operator $T:Y\to c_0$ such that the operator $TS:X\to c_0$ is not compact. This generalizes the Josefson-Nissenzweig Theorem.

Local superlinear convergence of the semismooth Newton method usually necessitates assumptions on the uniform invertibility of the utilized, generalized Jacobian matrices, such as, e.g., BD- or CD-regularity. For certain composite-type…

For a compact set $K\subset \mathbb{R}^m$, we have two indexes given under simple parameters of the set $K$ (these parameters go back to Besicovitch and Taylor in the late 50's). In the present paper we prove that with the exception of a…

We address facts and open questions concerning the degree of ill-posedness of the composite Hausdorff moment problem aimed at the recovery of a function $x \in L^2(0,1)$ from elements of the infinite dimensional sequence space $\ell^2$ that…

Given any compact, Hausdorff space $K$ and $1<p<\infty$, we compute the Szlenk and $w^*$-dentability indices of the spaces $C(K)$ and $L_p(C(K))$. We show that if $K$ is compact, Hausdorff, scattered, $CB(K)$ is the Cantor-Bendixson index…

We introduce compactness classes of Hilbert space operators by grouping together all operators for which the associated singular values decay at a certain speed and establish upper bounds for the norm of the resolvent of operators belonging…
