Spectra of Ruelle Transfer Operators for Contact Flows

In this survey article we discuss some recent results concerning strong spectral estimates for Ruelle transfer operators for contact flows on basic sets similar to these of Dolgopyat obtained in the case of Anosov flows with C1 stable and unstable foliations. Some applications of Dolgopyat's results and the more recent ones are also described.

Electronic Channels of Distributions: Challenges and Solutions for Hotel Operators

This paper addresses the issues of hotel operators identifying effective means of allocating rooms through various electronic channels of distribution. Relying upon the theory of coercive isomorphism, a think tank was constructed to identify and define electronic channels of distribution currently being utilized in the hotel industry. Through two full-day focus groups consisting of key hotel electives and industry practitioners, distribution channels wen identified as were challenges and solutions associated with each

Genetically Altered Foods: A Policy Issue for Multi-unit Food Service Operators

Although it is a substantial issue, the technology behind genetically altered foods and the concerns being raised about them are not well understood by most people. The authors discuss how genetically altered foods might fit into the business strategies of multi-unit food service operators as well as current policies and predispositions of multi-unit food service companies toward the use of genetically altered foods. They also outline the issues surrounding genetically altered food as they relate to the food service industry and provide a picture of where multi-unit food service operators currently stand on the technology

The spectra of linear fractional composition operators on weighted Dirichlet spaces

We completely determine the spectra of composition operators induced by linear fractional self-maps of the unit disc acting on weighted Dirichlet spaces; extending earlier results by Higdon [8] and answering the open questions in this context.

Rota’s universal operators and invariant subspaces in Hilbert spaces

A Hilbert space operator is called universal (in the sense of Rota) if every operator on the Hilbert space is similar to a multiple of the restriction of the universal operator to one of its invariant subspaces. We exhibit an analytic Toeplitz operator whose adjoint is universal in the sense of Rota and commutes with a quasi-nilpotent injective compact operator with dense range. In articular, this new universal operator invites an approach to the Invariant Subspace Problem that uses properties of operators that commute with the universal operator.
