We show that a positive operator between $L^p$-spaces is given by integration against a kernel function if and only if the image of each positive function has a lower semi-continuous representative with respect to a suitable topology. This…

Recently, several authors have proved inequalities on the spectral radius $\rho$, operator norm $\|\cdot\|$ and numerical radius of Hadamard products and ordinary products of non-negative matrices that define operators on sequence spaces,…

Let ${\bf A} \in R^{n \times n}$ be a nonnegative irreducible square matrix and let $r({\bf A})$ be its spectral radius and Perron-Frobenius eigenvalue. Levinger asserted and several have proven that $r(t):=r((1{-}t) {\bf A} + t {\bf…

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.

In this article we prove new inequalities for the generalized and the joint spectral radius of bounded sets of positive operators on Banach function and sequence spaces, in particular some inequalities for positive kernel operators that…

In the present note a spectral theorem for normal definitizable linear operators on Krein spaces is derived by developing a functional calculus $\phi \mapsto \phi(N)$ which is the proper analogue of $\phi \mapsto \int \phi \, dE$ in the…

We provide a number of sharp inequalities involving the usual operator norms of Hilbert space operators and powers of the numerical radii. Based on the traditional convexity inequalities for nonnegative real numbers and some generalize…

In this short technical note, we extend a recently published result [Liao2017] on the Perron root (or the spectral radius) of non-negative matrices to real-valued non-negative kernels on an arbitrary measurable space $(\mathrm{E},…

In this note we will present an extension of the Krein-Rutman theorem for an abstract nonlinear, compact, positively 1-homogeneous, monotone non-decreasing operators on a Banach space and apply the result to many nonlinear elliptic partial…

Let $K$ be a positive compact operator on a Banach lattice. We prove that if either $[K>$ or $<K]$ is ideal irreducible then $[K>=<K]=L_+(X)\cap {K}'$. We also establish the Perron-Frobenius Theorem for such operators $K$. Finally we apply…

We study the positive-definiteness of a family of $L^2(\mathbf{R})$ integral operators with kernel $K_{t, a}(x, y) = (1 + (x - y)^2 + a(x^2 + y^2)^t)^{-1}$, with $t > 0$ and $a > 0$. When $0 < t \le 1$, the known theory of positive-definite…

We consider a bounded linear operator $T$ on a complex Banach space $X$ and show that its spectral radius $r(T)$ satisfies $r(T) < 1$ if all sequences $(< x',T^nx>)_{n \in \mathbb{N}_0}$ ($x \in X$, $x' \in X'$) are, up to a certain…

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…

In this article, we consider the asymptotic behaviour of the spectral function of Schr\"odinger operators on the real line. Let $H: L^2(\mathbb{R})\to L^2(\mathbb{R})$ have the form $$ H:=-\frac{d^2}{dx^2}+V, $$ where $V$ is a formally…

We show that every Hankel operator $H$ is unitarily equivalent to a pseudo-differential operator $A$ of a special structure acting in the space $L^2 ({\Bbb R}) $. As an example, we consider integral operators $H$ in the space $L^2 ({\Bbb…

We consider light-ray operators $\mathcal{L}_{2n} = \int\mathrm{d} x^+ (x^+)^{2n}T_{++}$, where $x^+$ is a null coordinate and $n$ a positive integer, in QFT in Minkowski spacetime in arbitrary dimensions. These operators are…

We characterize the boundedness of a positive integral operator $T_K$, with kernel $K\in M_+(\R^{2n})$, between Lorentz-Gamma spaces $\Gamma_{p,\phi_2}(\R^n)$ and $\Gamma_{q,\phi_1}(\R^n)$, $1<p\le q<\infty$. The key step reduces the…

We improve the operator Kantorovich inequality as follows: Let $A$ be a positive operator on a Hilbert space with $0<m\le A \le M$. Then for every unital positive linear map $\Phi$, \[\Phi(A^{-1})^2\le (\frac{(M+m)^2}{4Mm})^2\Phi(A)^{-2}.\]…

Following an idea of Lin, we prove that if $A$ and $B$ be two positive operators such that $0<mI\le A\le m'I\le M'I\le B\le MI$, then \begin{equation*} {{\Phi }^{2}}\left( \frac{A+B}{2} \right)\le \frac{{{K}^{2}}\left( h \right)}{{{\left(…
