On Sylvester equations in Banach subalgebras

Let ${\mathcal B}$ be a Banach algebra and ${\mathcal A}$ be a Banach subalgebra that admits norm-controlled inversion in ${\mathcal B}$. In this work, we take $A, B$ in the Banach subalgebra ${\mathcal A}$ with their spectra in the Banach algebra ${\mathcal B}$ being disjoint, and show that the operator Sylvester equation $BX-XA=Q$ has a unique solution $X\in {\mathcal A}$ for every $Q\in {\mathcal A}$. Under the additional assumptions that ${\mathcal B}$ is the operator algebra ${\mathcal B}(H)$ on a Hilbert space $H$ and that $A$ and $B$ are normal in ${\mathcal B}(H)$, an explicit norm estimate for the solution $X$ of the above operator Sylvester equation is provided in this work. In addition, the above conclusion on norm control is applied to Banach subalgebras of localized infinite matrices and integral operators.
