Hypercyclic tuples of operators on $C^n$ and $R^n$

A tuple $(T_1,\dots,T_n)$ of continuous linear operators on a topological vector space $X$ is called hypercyclic if there is $x\in X$ such that the the orbit of $x$ under the action of the semigroup generated by $T_1,\dots,T_n$ is dense in $X$. This concept was introduced by N.~Feldman, who have raised 7 questions on hypercyclic tuples. We answer those 4 of them, which can be dealt with on the level of operators on finite dimensional spaces. In
particular, we prove that the minimal cardinality of a hypercyclic tuple of operators on $\C^n$ (respectively, on $\R^n$) is $n+1$ (respectively, $\frac n2+\frac{5+(-1)^n}{4}$), that there are non-diagonalizable tuples of operators on $\R^2$ which possess an orbit being neither dense nor nowhere dense and construct a hypercyclic 6-tuple of operators on $\C^3$ such that every operator commuting with each member of the tuple is non-cyclic.

Hypercyclic operators on countably dimensional spaces

According to Grivaux, the group GL(X) of invertible linear operators on a separable infinite dimensional Banach space X acts transitively on the set s (X) of countable dense linearly independent subsets of X. As a consequence, each A? s (X) is an orbit of a hypercyclic operator on X. Furthermore, every countably dimensional normed space supports a hypercyclic operator. Recently Albanese extended this result to Fréchet spaces supporting a continuous norm. We show that for a separable infinite dimensional Fréchet space X, GL(X) acts transitively on s (X) if and only if X possesses a continuous norm. We also prove that every countably dimensional metrizable locally convex space supports a hypercyclic operator.

Completely bounded disjointness preserving operators between Fourier algebras

In this paper, we characterize surjective completely bounded disjointness preserving linear operators on Fourier algebras of locally compact amenable groups. We show that such operators are given by weighted homomorphisms induced by piecewise affine proper maps. © 2011 Elsevier Inc.

The structure of compact disjointness preserving operators on continuous functions

Let T be a compact disjointness preserving linear operator from C0(X) into C0(Y), where X and Y are locally compact Hausdorff spaces. We show that T can be represented as a norm convergent countable sum of disjoint rank one operators. More precisely, T = Snd ?hn for a (possibly finite) sequence {xn }n of distinct points in X and a norm null sequence {hn }n of mutually disjoint functions in C0(Y). Moreover, we develop a graph theoretic method to describe the spectrum of such an operator

Ideals of A(G) and bimodules over maximal abelian selfadjoint algebras

This paper is concerned with weak⁎ closed masa-bimodules generated by A(G)-invariant subspaces of VN(G). An annihilator formula is established, which is used to characterise the weak⁎ closed subspaces of B(L2(G)) which are invariant under both Schur multipliers and a canonical action of M(G) on B(L2(G)) via completely bounded maps. We study the special cases of extremal ideals with a given null set and, for a large class of groups, we establish a link between relative spectral synthesis and relative operator synthesis.

On the Merit of Selecting Different Belief Merging Operators

Belief merging operators combine multiple belief bases (a profile) into a collective one. When the conjunction of belief bases is consistent, all the operators agree on the result. However, if the conjunction of belief bases is inconsistent, the results vary between operators. There is no formal manner to measure the results and decide on which operator to select. So, in this paper we propose to evaluate the result of merging operators by using three ordering relations (fairness, satisfaction and strength) over operators for a given profile. Moreover, a relation of conformity over operators is introduced in order to classify how well the operator conforms to the definition of a merging operator. By using the four proposed relations we provide a comparison of some classical merging operators and evaluate the results for some specific profiles.

A comparison of merging operators in possibilistic logic.

In this paper, we compare merging operators in possibilistic logic. We rst propose an approach to evaluating the discriminating power of a merging operator. After that, we analyze the computational complexity of existing possibilistic merging operators. Finally, we consider the compatibility of possibilistic merging operators with propositional merging operators.

Norms of basic elementary operators on algebras of regular operators

We show that if E is an atomic Banach lattice with an ordercontinuous norm, A, B ∈ L^r(E) and M_A,_B is the operator on L^r(E) defined by M_A,_B(T) = AT B then ||M_A,_B||r = ||A||_r||B||_r but that there is no real α > 0 such that ||MA,B || ≥ α ||A||r||B ||r.
