Preface 1. A lot of books and papers are concerned with the spectrum of linear operators but deal mainly with the asymptotic distributions of the eigenvalues. However, in many applications, for example, in numerical mathematics and stability analysis, bounds for eigenvalues are very important, but they are investigated considerably less than asymptotic distributions. The present book is devoted to the spectrum localization of linear operators in a Hilbert space. Our main tool is the estimates for norms of operator-valued functions. One of the first estimates for the norm of a regular matrix-valued function was established by I. M. Gel’fand and G. E. Shilov in connection with their investigations of partial differential equations, but this estimate is not sharp; it is not attained for any matrix. The problem of obtaining a precise estimate for the norm of a matrix-valued function has been repeatedly discussed in the literature. In the late 1970s, I obtained a precise estimate for a regular matrixvalued function. It is attained in the case of normal matrices. Later, this estimate was extended to various classes of nonselfadjoint operators, such as Hilbert-Schmidt operators, quasi-Hermitian operators (i.e., linear operators with completely continuous imaginary components), quasiunitary operators (i.e., operators represented as a sum of a unitary operator and a compact one), etc. Note that singular integral operators and integro-differential ones are examples of quasi-Hermitian operators. On the other hand, Carleman, in the 1930s, obtained an estimate for the norm of the resolvent of finite dimensional operators and of operators belonging to the Neumann-Schatten ideal. In the early 1980s sharp estimates for norms of the resolvent of nonselfadjoint operators of various types were established, that supplement and extend Carleman’s estimates. In this book, we present the mentioned estimates and, as it was pointed out, systematically apply them to spectral problems. 2. The book consists of 19 chapters. In Chapter 1, we present some wellknown results for use in the next chapters. Chapters 2-5 of the book are devoted to finite dimensional operators and functions of such operators. In Chapter 2 we derive estimates for the norms of operator-valued functions in a Euclidean space. In addition, we prove relations for eigenvalues of finite matrices, which improve Schur’s and Brown’s inequalities.

Preface

Although excellent computer softwares are now available for eigenvalue computation, new results on invertibility and spectrum inclusion regions for finite matrices are still important, since computers are not very useful, in particular, for analysis of matrices dependent on parameters. But such matrices play an essential role in various applications, for example, in the stability and boundedness of coupled systems of partial differential equations. In addition, the bounds for eigenvalues of finite matrices allow us to derive the bounds for spectra of infinite matrices. Because of this, the problem of finding invertibility conditions and spectrum inclusion regions for finite matrices continues to attract the attention of many specialists. Chapter 3 deals with various invertibility conditions. In particular, we improve the classical LevyDesplanques theorem and other well-known invertibility results for matrices that are close to triangular ones. Chapter 4 is concerned with perturbations of finite matrices and bounds for their eigenvalues. In particular, we derive upper and lower estimates for the spectral radius. Under some restrictions, these estimates improve the Frobenius inequalities. Moreover, we present new conditions for the stability of matrices, which supplement the Rohrbach theorem. Chapter 5 is devoted to block matrices. In this chapter, we derive the invertibility conditions, which supplement the generalized Hadamard criterion and some other well-known results for block matrices. Chapters 6-9 form the crux of the book. Chapter 6 contains the estimates for the norms of the resolvents and analytic functions of compact operators in a Hilbert space. In particular, we consider Hilbert-Schmidt operators and operators belonging to the von Neumann-Schatten ideals. Chapter 7 is concerned with the estimates for the norms of resolvents and analytic functions of non-compact operators in a Hilbert space. In particular, we consider so-called P -triangular operators. Roughly speaking, a P triangular operator is a sum of a normal operator and a compact quasinilpotent one, having a sufficiently rich set of invariant subspaces. Operators having compact Hermitian components are examples of P -triangular operators. In Chapters 8 and 9 we derive the bounds for the spectra of quasiHermitian operators. In Chapter 10 we introduce the notion of the multiplicative operator integral. By virtue of the multiplicative operator integral, we derive spectral representations for the resolvents of various linear operators. That representation is a generalization of the classical spectral representation for resolvents of normal operators. In the corresponding cases the multiplicative integral is an operator product. Chapters 11 and 12 are devoted to perturbations of the operators of the form A = D + W , where D is a normal boundedly invertible operator and D−1 W is compact. In particular, estimates for the resolvents and bounds for the spectra are established.

Chapters 13 and 14 are concerned with applications of the main results from Chapters 7-12 to integral, integro-differential and differential operators, as well as to infinite matrices. In particular, we suggest new estimates for the spectral radius of integral operators and infinite matrices. Under some restrictions, they improve the classical results. Chapter 15 deals with operator matrices. The spectrum of operator matrices and related problems have been investigated in many works. Mainly, Gershgorin-type bounds for spectra of operator matrices with bounded operator entries are derived. But Gershgorin-type bounds give good results in the cases when the diagonal operators are dominant. In Chapter 15, under some restrictions, we improve these bounds for operator matrices. Moreover, we consider matrices with unbounded operator entries. The results of Chapter 15 allow us to derive bounds for the spectra of matrix differential operators. Chapters 16-18 are devoted to Hille-Tamarkin integral operators and matrices, as well as integral operators with bounded kernels. Chapter 19 is devoted to applications of our abstract results to the theory of finite order entire functions. In that chapter we consider the following problem: if the Taylor coefficients of two entire functions are close, how close are their zeros? In addition, we establish bounds for sums of the absolute values of the zeros in the terms of the coefficients of its Taylor series. They supplement the Hadamard theorem. 3. This is the first book that presents a systematic exposition of bounds for the spectra of various classes of linear operators in a Hilbert space. It is directed not only to specialists in functional analysis and linear algebra, but to anyone interested in various applications who has had at least a first year graduate level course in analysis. The functional analysis is developed as needed. I was very fortunate to have had fruitful discussions with the late Professors I.S. Iohvidov and M.A. Krasnosel’skii, to whom I am very grateful for their interest in my investigations.

1. Preliminaries

In this chapter we present some well-known results for use in the next chapters.

1.1

Vector and Matrix Norms

Let Cn be an n-dimensional complex Euclidean space. A function ν : Cn → [0, ∞) is said to be a norm on Cn (or a vector norm), if ν satisfies the following conditions: ν(x) = 0 iff x = 0, ν(αx) = |α|ν(x), ν(x + y) ≤ ν(x) + ν(y)

(1.1)

for all x, y ∈ Cn , α ∈ C. Usually, a norm is denoted by the symbol
.

x
. The following important properties follow immediately from the definition:

Here ajk are the entries of matrix A in some orthogonal normal basis. The Frobenius norm does not depend on the choice of an orthogonal normal basis. The relations N (A) > 0 (A = 0); N (λA) = |λ|N (A) (λ ∈ C), N (AB) ≤ N (A)N (B) and N (A + B) ≤ N (A) + N (B) are true for all matrices A and B.

1.2

Classes of Matrices

For an n × n-matrix A, A∗ denotes the conjugate matrix. That is, if ajk are entries of A, then akj (j, k = 1, ..., n) are entries of A∗ . In other words (Ax, y) = (x, A∗ y) (x, y ∈ C). The symbol (., .) = (., .)C n means the scalar product in Cn . We use I to denote the unit matrix in Cn . Definition 1.2.1 A matrix A = (ajk )nj,k=1 is 1. symmetric (Hermitian) if A∗ = A; 2. positive definite (negative definite ) if it is Hermitian and (Ah, h) ≥ (≤) 0 (h ∈ Cn ); 3. unitary if A∗ A = AA∗ = I; 4. normal if AA∗ = A∗ A; 5. nilpotent if An = 0. Let A be an arbitrary matrix. Then the matrices AI = (A − A∗ )/2i and AR = (A + A∗ )/2 are the imaginary Hermitian component and the real Hermitian one of A, respectively. A matrix A is dissipative if its real Hermitian component is negative definite. By A−1 the matrix inverse to A is denoted: AA−1 = A−1 A = I.

1.3. Eigenvalues of Matrices

Eigenvalues of Matrices

Let A be an arbitrary matrix. Then if for some λ ∈ C, the equation Ah = λh has a nontrivial solution, λ is an eigenvalue of A and h is its eigenvector. An eigenvalue λ has the (algebraic) multiplicity r if dim(∪nk=1 ker(A − λI)k ) = r. Here ker B denotes the kernel of a mapping B. Let λk (A) (k = 1, . . . , n) be the eigenvalues of A, including with their multiplicities. Then the set σ(A) = {λk (A)}nk=1 is the spectrum of A. All the eigenvalues of a Hermitian matrix A are real. If, in addition, A is positive (negative) definite, then all its eigenvalues are non-negative (nonpositive). Furthermore, rs (A) = max |λk (A)| k=1,...,n

is the spectral radius of A. Denote α(A) = max Reλk (A), β(A) = k=1,...,n

min Reλk (A).

k=1,...,n

A matrix A is said to be a Hurwitz matrix if all its eigenvalues lie in the open left half-plane, i.e., α(A) < 0. A complex number λ is a regular point of A if it does not belong to the spectrum of A, i.e., if λ = λk (A) for any k = 1, . . . , n. The trace of A is sometimes denoted by T r (A): T race (A) = T r (A) =

n


λk (A).

k=1

So the Frobenius norm can be defined as N 2 (A) = T race (A∗ A) = T race (AA∗ ). Recall that T r(AB) = T r(BA) and T r(A + B) = T r(A) + T r(B) for all matrices A and B. In addition, det(A) means the determinant of A: det(A) =

n 

λk (A).

k=1

The polynomial p(λ) = det(λI − A) =

n 

(λ − λk (A))

k=1

is said to be the characteristic polynomial of A. All the eigenvalues of A are the roots of its characteristic polynomial. The algebraic multiplicity of an eigenvalue of A coincides with the multiplicity of the corresponding root of the characteristic polynomial. A polynomial is said to be a Hurwitz one if all its roots lie in the open left half-plane. Thus, the characteristic polynomial of a Hurwitz matrix is a Hurwitz polynomial.

Matrix-Valued Functions

Let A be a matrix and let f (λ) be a scalar-valued function which is analytical on a neighborhood M of σ(A). We define the function f (A) of A by the generalized integral formula of Cauchy  1 f (A) = − f (λ)Rλ (A)dλ, (4.1) 2πi Γ where Γ ⊂ M is a closed smooth contour surrounding σ(A), and Rλ (A) = (A − λI)−1 is the resolvent of A.

Contour Integrals

Lemma 1.5.1 Let M0 be the closed convex hull of points x0 , x1 , ..., xn ∈ C and let a scalar-valued function f be regular on a neighborhood D1 of M0 . In addition, let Γ ⊂ D1 be a Jordan closed contour surrounding the points x0 , x1 , ..., xn . Then  1 f (λ)dλ 1 |≤ sup |f (n) (λ)|. | 2πi Γ (λ − x0 )...(λ − xn ) n! λ∈M0 Proof: First, let all the points be distinct: xj = xk for j = k (j, k = 0, ..., n), and let Df (x0 , x1 , ..., xn ) be a divided difference of function f at points x0 , x1 , ..., xn . The divided difference admits the representation  f (λ)dλ 1 (5.1) Df (x0 , x1 , ..., xn ) = 2πi Γ (λ − x0 )...(λ − xn ) (see (Gel’fond, 1967, formula (54)). But, on the other hand, the following estimate is well-known: | Df (x0 , x1 , ..., xn ) | ≤

1 sup |f (n) (λ)| n! λ∈M0

(Gel’fond, 1967, formula (49)). Combining that inequality with relation (5.1), we arrive at the required result. If xj = xk for some j = k, then the claimed inequality can be obtained by small perturbations and the previous reasonings. 2

1. Preliminaries

Lemma 1.5.2 Let x0 ≤ x1 ≤ ... ≤ xn be real points and let a function f be regular on a neighborhood D1 of the segment [x0 , xn ]. In addition, let Γ ⊂ D1 be a Jordan closed contour surrounding [x0 , xn ]. Then there is a point η ∈ [x0 , xn ], such that the equality  1 f (λ)dλ 1 (n) = f (η) 2πi Γ (λ − x0 )...(λ − xn ) n! is true. Proof: First suppose that all the points are distinct: x0 < x1 < ... < xn . Then the divided difference Df (x0 , x1 , ..., xn ) of f in the points x0 , x1 , ..., xn admits the representation Df (x0 , x1 , ..., xn ) =

1 (n) f (η) n!

with some point η ∈ [x0 , xn ] (Gel’fond, 1967, formula (43)), (Ostrowski, 1973, page 5 ). Combining that equality with representation (5.1), we arrive at the required result. If xj = xk for some j = k, then the claimed inequality can be obtained by small perturbations and the previous reasonings. 2

Algebraic Equations

Let us consider the algebraic equation z n = P (z) (n > 1), where P (z) =

n−1


cj z n−j−1

(6.1)

j=0

with non-negative coefficients cj (j = 0, ..., n − 1). Lemma 1.6.1 The extreme right-hand root z0 of equation (6.1) is nonnegative and the following estimates are valid: z0 ≤ [P (1)]1/n if P (1) ≤ 1,

(6.2)

1 ≤ z0 ≤ P (1) if P (1) ≥ 1.

(6.3)

and Proof: Since all the coefficients of P (z) are non-negative, it does not decrease as z > 0 increases. From this it follows that if P (1) ≤ 1, then z0 ≤ 1. So z0n ≤ P (1), as claimed. Now let P (1) ≥ 1, then due to (6.1) z0 ≥ 1, because P (z) does not decrease. It is clear that P (z0 ) ≤ z0n−1 P (1) in this case. Substituting this inequality in (6.1), we get (6.3). 2

1.7. The Triangular Representation

Setting z = ax with a positive constant a in (6.1), we obtain xn =

2−j−1 = 1 − 2−n+1 < 1.

Let x0 be the extreme right-hand root of equation (6.4), then by (6.2) we have x0 ≤ 1. Since z0 = ax0 , we have derived Corollary 1.6.2 The extreme right-hand root z0 of equation (6.1) is nonnegative. Moreover, √ j+1 c . z0 ≤ 2 max j j=0,...,n−1

1.7

The Triangular Representation of Matrices

Let B(Cn ) be the set of all linear operators (matrices) in Cn . A subspace M ⊂ Cn is an invariant subspace of an A ∈ B(Cn ), if the relation h ∈ M implies Ah ∈ M . If P is a projector onto an invariant subspace of A, then P AP = AP.

(7.1)

By Schur’s theorem (Marcus and Minc, 1964, Section I.4.10.2 ), for a linear operator A ∈ B(Cn ), there is an orthogonal normal basis {ek }, such that A is a triangular matrix. That is, Aek =

k


ajk ej with ajk = (Aek , ej ) (j = 1, ..., n),

(7.2)

j=1

where (., .) is the scalar product. This basis is called Schur’s basis of the operator A. In addition, ajj = λj (A), where λj (A) are the eigenvalues of A. According to (7.2), A=D+V with a normal (diagonal) operator D defined by Dej = λj (A)ej (j = 1, ..., n)

(7.3)

1. Preliminaries

and a nilpotent (upper-triangular) operator V defined by V ek =

k−1


ajk ej (k = 2, ..., n).

j=1

We will call equality (7.3) the triangular representation of matrix A. In addition, D and V will be called the diagonal part and the nilpotent part of A, respectively. Put j
Pj = (., ek )ek (j = 1, ..., n), P0 = 0. k=1

Then

0 ⊂ P1 Cn ⊂ ... ⊂ Pn Cn = Cn .

Moreover, APk = Pk APk ; V Pk−1 = Pk V Pk ; DPk = DPk (k = 1, ..., n).

(7.4)

So A, V and D have the same chain of invariant subspaces. Lemma 1.7.1 Let Q, V ∈ B(Cn ) and let V be a nilpotent operator. Suppose that all the invariant subspaces of V and of Q are the same. Then V Q and QV are nilpotent operators. Proof: Since all the invariant subspaces of V and Q are the same, these operators have the same basis of the triangular representation. Taking into account that the diagonal entries of V are equal to zero, we easily determine that the diagonal entries of QV and V Q are equal to zero. This proves the required result. 2

Notes

This book presupposes a knowledge of basic matrix theory, for which there are good introductory texts. The books (Bellman, 1970), (Gantmaher, 1967), ( Marcus and Minc, 1964) are classical. For more details about the notions presented in Sections 1.1-1.4 also see (Collatz, 1966) and (Stewart and Sun, 1990). Estimates for roots of algebraic equations similar to Corollary 1.6.2 can be found in (Ostrowski, 1973, page 277).

Examples

In this section we present some examples of calculations of g(A). Example 2.2.1 Consider the matrix  A=

a11 a21

a12 a22



where ajk (j, k = 1, 2) are real numbers. First, consider the case of nonreal eigenvalues: λ2 (A) = λ1 (A). It can be written det(A) = λ1 (A)λ1 (A) = |λ1 (A)|2 and |λ1 (A)|2 + |λ2 (A)|2 = 2|λ1 (A)|2 = 2det(A) = 2[a11 a22 − a21 a12 ]. Thus,

g 2 (A) = N 2 (A) − |λ1 (A)|2 − |λ2 (A)|2 = a211 + a212 + a221 + a222 − 2[a11 a22 − a21 a12 ].

Hence, g(A) =

 (a11 − a22 )2 + (a21 + a12 )2 .

(2.1)

Let n = 2 and a matrix A have real entries again, but now the eigenvalues of A are real. Then |λ1 (A)|2 + |λ2 (A)|2 = T race A2 . Obviously, 2



A =

a211 + a12 a21 a21 a11 + a21 a22

a11 a12 + a12 a22 a222 + a21 a12

 .

We thus get the relation |λ1 (A)|2 + |λ2 (A)|2 = a211 + 2a12 a21 + a222 . Consequently, g 2 (A) = N 2 (A) − |λ1 (A)|2 − |λ2 (A)|2 = a211 + a212 + a221 + a222 − (a211 + 2a12 a21 + a222 ). Hence, g(A) = |a12 − a21 |. Example 2.2.2 Let A be an upper-triangular matrix:

where V is the nilpotent part of A (see Section 1.7). Proof: Let D be the diagonal part of A. Then, due to Lemma 1.7.1 both matrices V ∗ D and D∗ V are nilpotent. Therefore, T race (D∗ V ) = 0 and T race (V ∗ D) = 0.

where V is the nilpotent part of A. Proof:

But due to (3.2) and (3.4) T race (A − A∗ )2 = T race (V + D − V ∗ − D∗ )2 = T race [(V − V ∗ )2 + (V − V ∗ )(D − D∗ )+ (D − D∗ )(V − V ∗ ) + (D − D∗ )2 ] =

k=1

Thus, we arrive at the required equality. 2 The assertion of Theorem 2.3.1 follows from Lemmas 2.3.2 and 2.3.3. The inequality (1.3) follows from Theorem 2.3.1. Furthermore, take into account that the nilpotent parts of the matrices Aeiτ and Aeiτ + zI with a real number τ and a complex one z, coincide. Hence, due to Lemma 2.3.2 we obtain the following Corollary 2.3.4 For any linear operator A in Cn , a real number τ , and a complex one z, relation (1.4) holds. Corollary 2.3.5 For arbitrary commuting linear operators A, B in Cn , g(A + B) ≤ g(A) + g(B). In fact, A and B have the same Schur basis. This clearly forces VA+B = VA + VB , where VA+B , VA and VB are the nilpotent parts of A + B, A and B, respectively. Due to Lemma 2.3.2 the relations g(A) = N (VA ), g(B) = N (VB ), g(A + B) = N (VA+B ) are true. Now the property of the norm implies the result.

Conversely, let A be positively invertible. Put T = −V+ − V− . Then for any λ with Re λ ≥ 0, |(A + λ)h| = |(D + λ − T )h| ≥ |(D + λ)h| − T |h| ≥ D|h| − T |h| = A|h|. Here |h| means the vectors whose coordinates are the absolute values of the coordinates of h. This proves the result. 2 Lemma 3.6.1 and the previous lemma imply Corollary 3.7.3 Let F be defined by (7.1) with a non-negative function f satisfying (7.2). In addition, let A be a Z-matrix and condition (4.1) hold. Then relation (7.3) is valid.

Notes

As it was mentioned, although excellent computer softwares are now available for eigenvalue computation, new results on invertibility and spectrum inclusion regions for finite matrices are still important, since computers are not very useful, in particular, for analysis of matrices dependent on parameters. So the problem of finding invertibility conditions and spectrum inclusion regions for finite matrices continues to attract attention of many specialists, cf. (Brualdi, 1982), (Farid, 1995 and 1998), (Gudkov, 1967), (Li and Tsatsomeros, 1997), (Tam et al., 1997) and references given therein. Let A = (ajk ) be a complex n × n-matrix (n ≥ 2) with the nonzero diagonal: akk = 0 (k = 1, ..., n). Put n


Pj =

|ajk |.

k=1, k=j

The well-known Levy-Desplanques theorem states that if |ajj | > Pj (j = 1, ..., n), then A is nonsingular. This theorem has been improved in many ways. For example, each of the following is known to be a sufficient condition for non-singularity of A: (i) |aii ||ajj | > Pj Pi (i, j = 1, ..., n) ( Marcus and Minc, 1964, p. 149). (ii) |ajj | ≥ Pj (j = 1, ..., n), provided that at least one inequality is strict and A is irreducible ( Marcus and Minc, 1964, p. 147). (iii) |ajj | ≥ rj mj (j = 1, ..., n), where rj are positive numbers satisfying n

Theorems 3.1.1, 3.3.1 and 3.4.1 yield new invertibility conditions which improve the mentioned results, when the considered matrices are close to triangular ones. Moreover, they give us estimates for different norms of the inverse matrices. Note that Theorems 3.1.1, 2.1.1 and 2.14.1 allow us to derive additional invertibility conditions in the terms of the Euclidean norm. The material in Chapter 3 is based on the papers (Gil’, 1997), (Gil’, 1998) and (Gil’, 2001).

4. Localization of Eigenvalues of Finite Matrices

The present chapter is concerned with perturbations of finite matrices and bounds for their eigenvalues. In particular, we improve the classical Gershgorin result for matrices, which are ”close” to triangular ones. In addition, we derive upper and lower estimates for the spectral radius. Under some restrictions, these estimates improve the Frobenius inequalities. Moreover, we present new conditions for the stability of matrices, which supplement the Rohrbach theorem.

4. Eigenvalues of Finite Matrices

where π is taken over all permutations of {1, 2, ..., n}. Recall also that σ(A) denotes the spectrum of A. Lemma 4.1.1 For any µ ∈ σ(B), we have either µ ∈ σ(A), or q
Rµ (A)
≥ 1. Proof:

(1.1)

Suppose that the inequality q
Rµ (A)
< 1.

(1.2)

holds. We can write Rµ (A) − Rµ (B) = Rµ (B)(B − A)Rµ (A). This yields
Rµ (A) − Rµ (B)
≤
Rµ (B)
q
Rµ (A)
.

(1.3)

Thus, (1.2) implies
Rµ (B)
≤
Rµ (A)
(1 − q
Rµ (A)
)−1 . That is, µ is a regular point of B. This contradiction proves the result. 2 Lemma 4.1.2 Assume that
Rλ (A)
≤ φ(ρ−1 (A, λ)) for all regular λ of A,

(1.4)

where φ(x) is a monotonically increasing non-negative function of a nonnegative variable x, such that φ(0) = 0 and φ(∞) = ∞. Then the inequality svA (B) ≤ z(φ, q)

(1.5)

is true, where z(φ, q) is the extreme right-hand (positive) root of the equation 1 = qφ(1/z). Proof:

(1.6)

Due to Lemma 4.1.1 and condition (1.4), 1 ≤ qφ(ρ−1 (A, λ)) for all λ ∈ σ(B).

Since φ(x) monotonically increases, z(φ, q) is a unique positive root of (1.6) and ρ(A, λ) ≤ z(φ, q). Thus, the inequality (1.5) is valid. 2

4.2

Perturbations of Multiplicities and Matching Distance

Put Ω(c, r) ≡ {z ∈ C : |z − c| ≤ r} (c ∈ C, r > 0).

4.2. Perturbations of Multiplicities

51

Lemma 4.2.1 Under condition (1.4), let A have an eigenvalue λ(A) of the algebraic multiplicity ν and the distance from λ(A) to the rest of σ(A) is equal to 2d, i.e. distance{λ(A), σ(A)/λ(A)} = 2d. (2.1) In addition, for a positive number a ≤ d, let qφ(1/a) < 1.

(2.2)

Then in Ω(λ(A), a) operator B has eigenvalues whose total algebraic multiplicity is equal to ν. Proof: This result is a particular case of the well-known Theorem 3.18 (Kato, 1966, p. 215). 2 Since φ is a nondecreasing function, comparing (2.2) with (1.6), we get Corollary 4.2.2 Let A have an eigenvalue λ(A) of the algebraic multiplicity ν. In addition, under conditions (1.4) and (2.1), let the extreme right-hand root z(φ, q) of equation (1.6) satisfies the inequality z(φ, q) ≤ d.

(2.3)

Then in Ω(λ(A), z(φ, q)) operator B has eigenvalues whose total algebraic multiplicity is equal to ν. Let θ1 , ..., θn1 (n1 ≤ n) be different eigenvalues of A, i.e., ˜ d(A) := min{|θj − θk | : j = k; j, k = 1, .., n1 } > 0 and

n1


(2.4)

νk = n,

k=1

where νk is the multiplicity of the eigenvalue θk . By virtue of Lemma 4.2.1, we arrive at the following result. Lemma 4.2.3 Let condition (1.4) hold. In addition, for a positive number ˜ a ≤ d(A), let condition (2.2) is valid. Then all the eigenvalues of operator B lie in the set 1 ∪nk=1 Ω(θk , a) and thus, md (A, B) ≤ a. Moreover, Corollary 4.2.2 implies Corollary 4.2.4 Under conditions (1.4) and (2.4), let the extreme right˜ hand root z(φ, q) of equation (1.6) satisfies the inequality z(φ, q) ≤ d(A). Then all the eigenvalues of operator B lie in the set 1 ∪nk=1 Ω(θk , z(φ, q))

and thus md (A, B) ≤ z(φ, q).

4. Eigenvalues of Finite Matrices

Perturbations of Eigenvectors and Eigenprojectors

Under condition (1.4), let A have an eigenvalue λ(A) of the algebraic multiplicity ν and (2.1) hold. Let ∂Ω be the boundary of Ω(λ(A), d): ∂Ω ≡ {z ∈ C : |z − λ(A)| = d}. Put

1 P (A) = − 2πi

and

1 P (B) = − 2πi

 ∂Ω

Rλ (A)dλ

(3.1)

Rλ (B)dλ.

(3.2)

 ∂Ω

That is, both P (A) and P (B) are the projectors onto the eigenspaces of A and B, respectively, corresponding to points of the spectra, which lie in Ω(λ(A), d). Lemma 4.3.1 Let A satisfy condition (1.4) and have an eigenvalue λ(A) of the algebraic multiplicity ν, such that the conditions (2.1) and qφ(1/d) < 1

(3.3)

hold. Then dim P (A) = dim P (B). Moreover,
P (A) − P (B)
≤

qdφ2 (1/d) . 1 − qφ(1/d)

(3.4)

Proof: Thanks to Lemma 4.2.1 dim P (A) = dim P (B). From (1.3) and (1.4) it follows that
Rλ (B)
≤
Rλ (A)
(1 − qφ(1/d))−1 ≤ φ(1/d)(1 − qφ(1/d))−1 (λ ∈ ∂Ω) and

|dλ| ≤
P (A) − P (B)
≤ 2π ∂Ω  1 qφ2 (1/d)d ,
Rλ (B)
qφ(1/d)|dλ| ≤ 2π ∂Ω 1 − qφ(1/d)

as claimed. 2 We will say that an eigenvalue of a linear operator is a simple eigenvalue, if its algebraic multiplicity is equal to one. The eigenvector corresponding to a simple eigenvalue will be called a simple eigenvector.

4.4. Perturbations in Euclidean Norm

53

Lemma 4.3.2 Suppose A has a simple eigenvalue λ(A), such that the relations (1.4), (2.1) and q[dφ2 (1/d) + φ(1/d)] < 1

(3.5)

hold. Then for the eigenvector e of A corresponding to λ(A) with
e
= 1, there exists a simple eigenvector f of B with
f
= 1, such that
e − f
≤ 2δ(1 − δ)−1 , where δ≡

qdφ2 (1/d) . 1 − qφ(1/d)

Proof: Firstly, note that condition (3.5) implies the relations (3.3) and δ < 1, and B has in Ω(λ(A), d) a simple eigenvalue λ(B) due to Lemma 4.2.1. Let P (B) and P (A) be defined by (3.1) and (3.2). Due to Lemma 4.3.1,
P (A) − P (B)
≤ δ < 1. Consequently, P (B)e = 0, since P (A)e = e. Thanks to the relation BP (B)e = λ(B)P (B)e, P (B)e is an eigenvector of B. Let N =
P (B)e
. Then f ≡ N −1 P (B)e is a normed eigenvector of B. So e − f = P (A)e − N −1 P (B)e = e − N −1 e + N −1 (P (A) − P (B))e. But N ≥
P (A)e
−
(P (A) − P (B))e
≥ 1 − δ. Hence N

≤ (1 − δ)−1 and
e − f

e
+ N −1
P (A) − P (B)
≤ (1 − δ)−1 − 1 + (1 − δ)−1 δ = 2δ(1 − δ)−1 ,

as claimed. 2

4. Localization of Eigenvalues of Finite Matrices

Theorem 4.4.1 Let A and B be n × n-matrices. Then svA (B) ≤ z(q2 , A),

(4.1)

where z(q2 , A) is the extreme right-hand (unique nonegative) root of the algebraic equation n−1
z n = q2 γn,j z n−j−1 g j (A). (4.2) j=0

Proof:

Theorem 2.1.1 gives us the inequality

(4.3)

Rewrite (4.2) as 1=

γn,j g j (A) . z j+1

Now the required result is due to Lemma 4.1.2 and (4.3). 2 Put n−1
wn = γn,j . j=0

Setting z = g(A)y in (4.2) and applying Lemma 1.6.1, we have the estimate z(q2 , A) ≤ q2 wn , provided (4.4) q2 wn ≥ g(A) and

z(q2 , A) ≤ g 1−1/n (A)[q2 wn ]1/n ,

provided q2 wn ≤ g(A).

(4.5)

Now Theorem 4.4.1 ensures the following result. Corollary 4.4.2 Let condition (4.4) hold. Then svA (B) ≤ qwn . If condition (4.5) holds, then svA (B) ≤ g 1−1/n (A)[qwn ]1/n .

Lemma 4.4.3 Let A have an eigenvalue λ(A) of the algebraic multiplicity ν and (2.1) hold. In addition, for a positive number a < d, let q2 Gn (1/a) < 1.

(4.6)

Then in Ω(λ(A), a) operator B has eigenvalues whose total algebraic multiplicity is equal to ν. Proof:

This result follows from (4.3) and Lemma 4.2.1. 2

Inequality (4.3) and Corollary 4.2.2 imply Corollary 4.4.4 Let A have an eigenvalue λ(A) of the algebraic multiplicity ν. In addition, under condition (2.1), let the extreme right-hand root z(q2 , A) of equation (4.2) satisfies the inequality z(q2 , A) ≤ d. Then in Ω(λ(A), z(q2 , A)) operator B has eigenvalues whose total algebraic multiplicity is equal to ν. Let θ1 , ..., θn1 (n1 ≤ n) be the different eigenvalues of A, again. By virtue of (4.3) and Lemma 4.2.3 we get the following result. ˜ Lemma 4.4.5 Under (2.4), for a positive number a < d(A), let condition (4.6) is valid. Then all the eigenvalues of operator B lie in the set 1 Ω(θk , a) ∪nk=1

and thus md (A, B) ≤ a. In addition, due to (4.3) and Corollary 4.2.4, we get Corollary 4.4.6 Under (2.4), let the extreme right-hand root z(q2 , A) of ˜ Then all the eigenvalequation (4.2) satisfies the inequality z(q2 , A) ≤ d(A). ues of operator B lie in the set 1 ∪nk=1 Ω(θk , z(q2 , A))

and thus md (A, B) ≤ z(q2 , A). To estimate z(q2 , A) we can apply Lemma 1.6.1.

4.4.3

Perturbations of eigenvectors and eigenprojectors in the Euclidean norm

Let A have an eigenvalue λ(A) of the algebraic multiplicity ν and (2.1) hold. Define P (A) and P (B) as in Section 3.1. Recall that Gn and q2 are defined in the previous two subsections.

56

4. Eigenvalues of Finite Matrices

Lemma 4.4.7 Let A and B be linear operators in Cn . In addition, let A have an eigenvalue λ(A) of the algebraic multiplicity ν, such that the conditions (2.1) and q2 Gn (1/d) < 1 hold. Then dim P (A) = dim P (B). Moreover,
P (A) − P (B)
2 ≤

q2 Gn (1/d)d . 1 − q2 Gn (1/d)

This result is due to (4.3) and Lemma 4.3.1. Lemma 4.4.8 Let A and B be linear operators in Cn . Suppose A has a simple eigenvalue λ(A), such that the relations (2.1) and q2 [G2n (1/d)d + Gn (1/d)] < 1 hold. Then for the eigenvector e of A corresponding to λ(A) with
e
2 = 1, there exists the simple eigenvector f of B with
f
2 = 1, such that
e − f
2 ≤ 2δ2 (1 − δ2 )−1 , where δ2 ≡

q2 dG2n (1/d) . 1 − q2 Gn (1/d)

This result is due to (4.3) and Lemma 4.3.2.

4.5

Upper Bounds for Eigenvalues in Terms of the Euclidean Norm

Let A be an n × n-matrix with entries ajk (j, k = 1, ..., n). Recall that D, V+ and V− are the diagonal, upper nilpotent part and lower nilpotent part of A, respectively, (see Section 3.1), and wn =

4.6. Lower Bounds for the Spectral Radius

57

Theorem 4.5.1 All the eigenvalues of matrix A = (ajk )nj,k=1 lie in the union of the discs (5.1) {λ ∈ C : |λ − akk | ≤ δ2 (A)}, k = 1, ..., n. Proof:

Take A+ = D + V+ . Since A+ is triangular, σ(A+ ) = σ(D) = {akk , k = 1, ..., n}.

(5.2)

Since A − A+ = V− , Corollary 4.4.2 implies svA+ (A) ≤ N 1−1/n (V+ )[
V−
2 wn ]1/n ,

(5.3)

provided that wn
V−
2 ≤ N (V+ ). Replace A+ by A− = D + V− . Repeating the above procedure, we get svA− (A) ≤ N 1−1/n (V− )[
V+
2 wn ]1/n , provided that wn
V+
2 ≤ N (V− ). In addition, σ(A− ) = σ(D). These relations with (5.2) and (5.3) complete the proof in the case µ2 (A) ≤ 1. Te case µ2 (A) > 1 is similarly considered 2

4.6

Lower Bounds for the Spectral Radius

Let A = (ajk ) be an n × n-matrix. Recall that rs (A) = sup |σ(A)| is the (upper) spectral radius; α(A) = sup Re σ(A) and rl (A) = inf |σ(A)| is the inner (lower) spectral radius. Let V+ , V− be the upper and lower triangular parts of A (see Section 3.1). Denote by z(ν) the unique positive root of the equation z n (A) = ν(A)

(6.2)

Moreover, the following inequalities are true: rs (A) ≥ max{0, max |akk | − z(ν)}, k=1,...,n

4. Eigenvalues of Finite Matrices

Proof: Take A+ = D + V+ . So relation (5.2) holds and A − A+ = V− . Theorem 4.3.1 gives us the inequality svA (A+ ) ≤ z− ,

n−1


γn,j z n−j−1 g j (A).

j=0

Relations (6.6) and (6.7) imply (6.2). Furthermore, take µ in such a way that |µ| = rs (D). Then due to (6.2), there is µ0 ∈ σ(A), such that |µ0 | ≥ rs (D) − z(ν). Hence, (6.3) follows. Similarly, inequality (6.4) can be proved. Now take µ in such a way that Re µ = α(D). Due to (6.2) for some µ0 ∈ σ(A), |Re µ0 − α(D)| ≤ z(ν). So, either Re µ0 ≥ α(D), or Re µ0 ≥ α(D) − z(ν). Thus, inequality (6.5) is also proved. The proof is complete. 2 Again put n−1
wn = γn,j . j=0

Setting z = g(A)y in (6.1) and applying Lemma 1.6.1, we obtain the estimate z(ν) ≤ δn (A), where  if ν(A)wn ≥ g(A), ν(A)wn δn (A) = . 1−1/n 1/n g (A)[ν(A)wn ] if ν(A)wn ≤ g(A) Now Theorem 4.6.1 ensures the following result. Corollary 4.6.2 For a matrix A = (ajk )nj,k=1 , the inequalities rs (A) ≥ max |akk | − δn (A), k=1,...,n

rl (A) ≤

Recall that v˜k , w ˜k , mup (A) and mlow (A) are defined in Section 3.4. Without lossing the generality, assume that min {qlow mup (A), qup mlow (A)} ≤ 1.

(7.1)

Theorem 4.7.1 Under condition (1.1), all the eigenvalues of A lie in the union of the discs {λ ∈ C : |λ − akk | ≤ δ∞ (A)}, k = 1, ..., n, 

where δ∞ (A) :=

n

min{qlow mup (A), qup mlow (A)}.

The proof of this theorem is presented in the next section. If A is a triangular matrix, then Theorem 4.7.1 gives the exact relation σ(A) = {akk , k = 1, ..., n}. Moreover, we have Corollary 4.7.2 Under condition (1.1), the spectral radius rs (A) of A satisfies the inequality rs (A) ≤ max |akk | + δ∞ (A). k=1,...,n

Furthermore, consider the quantity s(A) ≡ max |λi (A) − λj (A)|. i,j

According to Theorem 4.7.1, for arbitrary λi (A), λj (A), there are akk , amm , such that |λi (A) − akk | ≤ δ∞ (A), |λj (A) − amm | ≤ δ∞ (A). Consequently, |λi (A) − λj (A)| ≤ |λi (A) − akk | + |λj (A) − amm | + s(D) ≤ s(D) + 2δ∞ (A) (i, j ≤ n), where s(D) = maxi,j |aii − ajj |. So we have

4. Eigenvalues of Finite Matrices

Corollary 4.7.3 Under condition (1.1), s(A) ≤ s(D) + 2δ∞ (A). According to Theorem 4.7.1, Re λk (A) ≤ maxj Re ajj + δ∞ (A). We thus get Corollary 4.7.4 Under (7.1), let maxj Re ajj + δ∞ (A) < 0. Then A is a Hurwitz matrix. These results supplement the well known theorems by Hirsh and Rochrbach (Marcus and Minc, 1964, Sections III.1.3 and Section III.3.1).

where ρ(D, λ) = mink=1,...n |akk − λ|. Proof: 2.10.1,

Lemma 4.8.3 All the eigenvalues of matrix A = (ajk )nj,k=1 lie in the set ∪nj=2 Ω(akk , z(A)), where Ω(akk , z(A)) = {λ ∈ C : |λ − akk | ≤ z(A)} (k = 1, ..., n) and z(A) is the extreme right-hand (unique positive and simple) root of the algebraic equation n  z n = qlow (z + v˜k ). (8.1) k=2

for any eigenvalues µ of A. Dividing the algebraic equation (8.1) by z n we can write down n  (1 + v˜k z −1 ). 1 = qlow z −1 k=2

Comparing this with (8.2) and taking into account that z(A) is the extreme right root of (8.1) we obtain ρ(A, λ) ≤ z(A), as claimed. 2 Proof of Theorem 4.7.1: By Lemma 1.6.1,  z(A) ≤ n qlow mup (A) if qlow mup (A) ≤ 1. Then due to Lemma 4.8.3 all the eigenvalues of A lie in the union of the discs  {λ ∈ C : |λ − akk | ≤ n qlow mup (A) } , k = 1, ..., n. Replace A by the adjoint matrix A∗ , and repeat our arguments. We can assert that all the eigenvalues of A∗ lie in the union of the discs  {λ ∈ C : |λ − akk | ≤ n qup mlow (A) } ; k = 1, ..., n, provided that qup mlow (A) ≤ 1. Since σ(A) = σ(A∗ ), we get the required result. 2

Notes

Recall that, for nonnegative matrices, Frobenius has derived the following lower estimate: n
rs (A) ≥ r˜(A) ≡ min ajk , (9.1) j=1,...,n

k=1

cf. (Marcus and Minc, 1964, Chapter 3, Section 3.1). Relation (6.8) improves estimate (9.1) in the case ajk ≥ 0 (j, k = 1, ..., n), provided that maxk akk − δn (A) > r˜(A). That is, (6.8) is sharper than (9.1) for matrices which are close to triangular ones, since δn (A) → 0, when V− → 0 or V+ → 0. Due to inequality (6.9), matrix A is unstable, when max Re akk − z(ν) > 0.

k=1,...,n

The latter result supplements the Rorhbach theorem (Marcus and Minc, 1964, Chapter 3, Section 3.3.3). A lot of papers and books are devoted to bounds for m(A, B), cf. (Stewart and Sun, 1990), (Bhatia, 1987), (Elsner, 1985), (Phillips, 1990 and 1991) and references therein. One of the recent results belongs to R. Bhatia, L. Elsner and G. Krause (1990). They have proved that m(A, B) ≤ 22−1/n q 1/n (
A
2 +
B
2 )1−1/n .

(9.2)

In the paper (Farid, 1992) that inequality was improved in the case when both A and B are normal matrices with spectra on two intersecting lines. Corollary 4.4.6 improves (9.2), if A is close to a triangular matrix. The contents of Sections 4.2 and 4.3 are taken from (Gil’, 1997) while the results of Sections 4.4 and 4.5 are adapted from (Gil’, 2001). The material in Section 4.6 is taken from (Gil’, 1995). About other perturbation results see, for instance, the books (Kato, 1966) and (Baumgartel, 1985).

The present chapter is devoted to block matrices. In particular, we derive the invertibility conditions, which supplement the generalized Hadamard criterion and some other well-known results for block matrices.

The proof of this theorem is divided into a series of lemmas, which are presented in Sections 5.2-5.5. Theorem 5.1.1 is exact in the following sense. Let the matrix A in (1.1) be upper block triangular and Akk be invertible. Then Mlow = 1 and condition (1.2) takes the form Mup < 1 + Mup . Thus, due to Theorem 5.1.1, A is invertible. We have the same result if the matrix in (1.1) is lower block triangular. Consider a block matrix with m = 2:   A11 A12 A= . (1.4) A21 A22 Then In addition, Assume that

π-Triangular Matrices

Let B(Cn ) be the set of all linear operators in Cn . In what follows π = {Pk , k = 0, ..., m ≤ n} is a chain of orthogonal projectors Pk in Cn , such that 0 = P0 ⊂ P1 ⊂ .... ⊂ Pm = In . The relation Pk−1 ⊂ Pk means that Pk−1 Cn ⊂ Pk Cn (k = 1, ..., m). Let operators A, D, V ∈ B(Cn ) satisfy the relations APk = Pk APk (k = 1, ..., m),

(2.1)

DPk = Pk D (k = 1, ..., m),

(2.2)

V Pk = Pk−1 V Pk (k = 2, ..., m); V P1 = 0.

(2.3)

Then A, D and V will be called a π-triangular operator, a π- diagonal one and a π-nilpotent one, respectively Since V m = V m Pm = V m−1 Pm−1 V = V m−2 Pm−2 V Pm−1 V = ... = V P1 ...V Pm−2 V Pm−1 V, we have

V m = 0.

That is, every π-nilpotent operator is a nilpotent operator. Denote ∆Pk = Pk − Pk−1 ; Vk = V ∆Pk (k = 1, ..., m).

Definition 5.2.2 Let A ∈ B(Cn ) be a π-triangular operator and suppose (2.5) holds. Then the π-diagonal operator D and π-nilpotent operator V will be called the π-diagonal part and π-nilpotent part of A, respectively. n Lemma 5.2.3 Let π = {Pk }m k=1 be a chain of orthogonal projectors in C . If V˜ is a π-nilpotent operator, and A is a π-triangular one, then both operators AV˜ and V˜ A are π-nilpotent ones.

Proof:

By (2.1) and (2.3) we get

V˜ APk = V˜ Pk APk = Pk−1 V˜ Pk APk = Pk−1 V˜ APk , k = 1, ..., m. That is, V˜ A is indeed a π-nilpotent operator. Similarly we can prove that AV˜ is a π-nilpotent operator. 2 Lemma 5.2.4 Let A ∈ B(Cn ) be a π- triangular operator and D be its π-diagonal part. Then the spectrum of A coincides with the spectrum of D. Proof:

Due to (2.5)

Rλ (A) = (A − λI)−1 = (D + V − λI)−1 = Rλ (D)(I + V Rλ (D))−1 . (2.8) According to Lemma 5.2.3, V Rλ (D) is π- nilpotent if λ is not an eigenvalue of D. Therefore, Rλ (A) = Rλ (D)(I + V Rλ (D))−1 =

This relation implies that λ is a regular point of A if it is a regular point of D. Conversely, let λ ∈ σ(A). Due to (2.5) Rλ (D) = (D − λI)−1 = (A − V − λI)−1 = Rλ (A)(I − V Rλ (A))−1 . According to Lemma 5.2.3, V Rλ (A) is π- nilpotent. Therefore, Rλ (D) =

So λ ∈ σ(D), provided let λ ∈ σ(A). The lemma is proved. 2

Lemma 6.3.2 Let V ∈ Cp , p > 1 be a Volterra operator. Then there is a sequence of nilpotent operators, having finite dimensional ranges and converging to V in the norm Np (.). Proof: Let T = V − V ∗ . Due to the well-known Theorems 22.1 and 16.3 from the book (Brodskii, 1971), for an  > 0, there is a finite chain {Pk }nk=0 of orthogonal projectors onto invariant subspaces of V : 0 = Range(P0 ) ⊂ Range(P1 ) ⊂ .... ⊂ Range(Pn ) = H, such that with the notation n

the inequality Np (Wn − V ) <  is valid. Furthermore, let {em }∞ m=1 be an orthonormal basis in ∆Pk H. Put (k)

We recall the following well-known result, cf. (Gohberg and Krein, 1969, Lemma I.4.2). Lemma 6.3.3 Let M = H be the closed linear span of all the root vectors of an operator A ∈ C∞ and let QA be the orthogonal projector of H onto M ⊥ , where M ⊥ is the orthogonal complement of M in H. Then QA AQA is a Volterra operator. The previous lemma means that A can be represented by the matrix   BA A12 A= 0 V1

(3.1)

acting in M ⊕ M ⊥ . Here BA = A(I − QA ), V1 = QA AQA is a Volterra operator in QA H and A12 = (I − QA )AQA . Theorem 6.3.4 Let A ∈ C∞ . Then there are a normal operator D and a Volterra operator V , such that A = D + V and σ(D) = σ(A).

(3.2)

Moreover, A, D and V have the same invariant subspaces. Proof: Let M be the linear closed span of all the root vectors of A, and PA is the projector of H onto M . So the system of the root vectors of the operator BA = APA is complete in M . Thanks to the well-known Lemma I.3.1 from (Gohberg and Krein, 1969), there is an orthonormal basis (Schur’s basis) {ek } in M , such that BA ej = Aej = λj (BA )ej +

(3.3)

k=1

We have BA = DB + VB , where DB ek = λk (BA )ek , k = 1, 2, ... and VB = BA − DB is a quasinilpotent operator. But according to (3.1) λk (BA ) = λk (A), since V1 is a quasinilpotent operator. Moreover DB and VB have the same invariant subspaces. Take the following operator matrix acting in M ⊕ M ⊥:     DB 0 VB A12 D= and V = . 0 V1 0 0 Since the diagonal of V contains VB and V1 only, σ(V ) = σ(VB )∪σ(V1 ) = {0}. So V is quasinilpotent and (3.2) is proved. From (3.1) and (3.3) it follows that A, D and V have the same invariant subspace, as claimed. 2

82

6. Functions of Compact Operators

Definition 6.3.5 Equality (3.2) is said to be the triangular representation of A. Besides, D and V will be called the diagonal part and nilpotent part of A, respectively. Lemma 6.3.6 Let A ∈ Cp , p ≥ 1. Let V be the nilpotent part of A. Then there exists a sequence {An } of operators, having n-dimensional ranges, such that σ(An ) ⊆ σ(A), (3.4) and

n


|λ(An )|p →

|λ(A)|p as n → ∞.

(3.5)

k=1

Moreover, Np (An − A) → 0 and Np (Vn − V ) → 0 as n → ∞,

(3.6)

where Vn are the nilpotent parts of An (n = 1, 2, ...). Proof: Again, let M be the linear closed span of all the root vectors of A, and PA the projector of H onto M . So the system of root vectors of the operator BA = APA is complete in M . Let DB and VB be the nilpotent parts of BA , respectively. According to (3.3), put Pn =

n


(., ek )ek .

k=1

Then σ(BA Pn ) = σ(DB Pn ) = {λ1 (A), ..., λn (A)}.

(3.7)

In addition, DB Pn and VB Pn are the diagonal and nilpotent parts of BA Pn , respectively. Due to Lemma 6.3.2, there exists a sequence {Wn } of nilpotent operators having n-dimensional ranges and converging in Np to the operator V1 . Put   BA Pn Pn A12 . An = 0 Wn Then the diagonal part of An is Dn = and the nilpotent part is

 Vn =



DB Pn 0

V B Pn 0

So relations (3.6) are valid. According to (3.7), relation (3.5) holds. Moreover Np (Dn −DB ) → 0. So relation (3.5) is also proved. This finishes the proof. 2

Resolvents of Hilbert-Schmidt Operators

Let A be a Hilbert-Schmidt operator. The following quantity plays a key role in this section: ∞
g(A) = [N22 (A) − |λk (A)|2 ]1/2 , (4.1) k=1

where N2 (A) is the Hilbert-Schmidt norm of A, again. Since ∞

one can write

k=1

g 2 (A) ≤ N22 (A) − |T race A2 |.

If A is a normal Hilbert-Schmidt operator, then g(A) = 0, since N22 (A)

in this case. Let AI = (A − A∗ )/2i. We will also prove the inequality g 2 (A) ≤

N22 (A − A∗ ) = 2N22 (AI ) 2

(4.3)

(see Lemma 6.5.2 below). Again put ρ(A, λ) := inf t∈σ(A) |λ − t|. Theorem 6.4.1 Let A be a Hilbert-Schmidt operator. Then
Rλ (A)

g k (A) √ (λ ∈ σ(A)). ρk+1 (A, λ) k! k=0

(4.4)

Proof: Due to Lemma 6.3.6 there exists a sequence {An } of operators, having n-dimension ranges, such that the relations (3.4), N2 (An ) → N2 (A) and g(An ) → g(A) as n → ∞

(4.5)

are valid. But due to Corollary 2.1.2,
Rλ (An )

g k (An ) √ (λ ∈ σ(An )). ρk+1 (An , λ) k!

According to (3.4) ρ(An , λ) ≥ ρ(A, λ). Now, letting n → ∞ in the latter relation, we arrive at the stated result. 2 An additional proof of this theorem can be found in (Gil’, 1995, Chapter 2).

84

6. Functions of Compact Operators

Theorem 6.4.1 is precise. Inequality (4.4) becomes the equality
Rλ (A)
= ρ−1 (A, λ), if A is a normal operator, since g(A) = 0 in this case. Note that for an arbitrary constant c > 1, Schwarz’s inequality implies the relations  ∞ ∞ √ k k ∞ k 2k

√ 2 xk √ ≤ 2 ex (x ≥ 0). k! k=0

Now Theorem 6.4.1 implies the inequality
Rλ (A)

(4.7)

where according to (4.6), one can take.  √ c c and b0 = for any c > 1. In particular, a0 = 2 and b0 = 1. a0 = c−1 2 (4.8) Moreover, letting n → ∞ in Theorem 2.14.1, we get (4.7) with a0 = e1/2 and b0 = 1/2.

(4.9)

We thus have proved Theorem 6.4.2 Let A ∈ C2 . Then there are nonnegative constants a0 , b0 , such that estimate (4.7) is valid. Moreover, a0 and b0 can be taken as in (4.8) or in (4.9). In particular, if V ∈ C2 is a quasinilpotent operator, then

Equalities for Eigenvalues of a Hilbert-Schmidt Operator

Lemma 6.5.1 Let V be a Volterra operator and VI ≡ (V − V ∗ )/2i ∈ C2 . Then V ∈ C2 . Moreover, N22 (V ) = 2N22 (VI ).

6.5. Equalities for Eigenvalues

85

Proof: By Theorem 6.2.2 we have T race V 2 = T race (V ∗ )2 = 0, because V is a Volterra operator. Hence, N22 (V − V ∗ ) = T race (V − V ∗ )2 = T race (V 2 + V V ∗ + V ∗ V + (V ∗ )2 ) = T race (V V ∗ + V ∗ V ) = 2T race (V V ∗ ). We arrive at the result. 2 Lemma 6.5.2 Let A ∈ C2 . Then N22 (A) −

|λk (A)|2 = 2N22 (AI ) − 2

where V is the nilpotent part of A. Proof: Let D be the diagonal part of A. By (3.3), it is simple to check that V D∗ is a Volterra operator (see also Lemma 7.3.4). By Theorem 6.2.2, T race V D∗ = T race V ∗ D = 0.

(5.1)

From the triangular representation (3.2) it follows that T r AA∗ = T r (D + V )(D∗ + V ∗ ) = T r AA∗ = T r (DD∗ ) + T r (V V ∗ ). Besides, due to (3.2) σ(A) = σ(D). Thus, N22 (D)

=

|λk (A)|2 .

k=1

So the relation N22 (V ) = N22 (A) −

is proved. Furthermore, from the triangular representation (3.2) it follows that −4T r A2I = T r (A − A∗ )2 = T r (D + V − D∗ − V ∗ )2 . Hence, thanks to (5.1), we obtain −4T r A2I = T r (D − D∗ )2 + T r (V − V ∗ )2 . That is, N22 (AI ) = N22 (VI ) + N22 (DI ), where VI = (V − V ∗ )/2i and DI = (D − D∗ )/2i. Taking into account Lemma 6.5.1, we arrive at the equality 2N22 (AI ) − 2N22 (DI ) = N22 (V ).

Assume that for some positive integer p > 1, Ap is a Hilbert-Schmidt operator.

(6.1)

Note that under (6.1) A can, in general, be a noncompact operator. Below in this section we will give a relevant example. Theorem 6.6.1 Let (6.1) hold for some integer p > 1. Then

Then due to (2.4), condition (6.1) holds. So we can directly apply Theorem 6.6.1, but in appropriate situations the following result is more convenient. Theorem 6.7.1 Let A ∈ C2p (p = 2, 3, ...). Then

Put 1 (p) θj =  , (7.3) [j/p]! where [x] means the integer part of a real number x. Now the previous theorem implies Corollary 6.7.2 Let A ∈ C2p (p = 2, 3, ...). Then

where Bλ = −V Rλ (D). By the identity (I − Bλ )(I + Bλ + . . . + Bλp−1 ) = I − Bλp we have

(A − λI)−1 = (D + V − λI)−1 = (D − λI)−1 (I + Bλ + . . . + Bλp−1 )(I − Bλp )−1 .

Regular Functions of Hilbert-Schmidt Operators

Let A be a bounded linear operator acting in a separable Hilbert space H and f be a scalar-valued function, which is analytic on a neighborhood of σ(A). Let a contour C consist of a finite number of rectifiable Jordan curves, oriented in the positive sense customary in the theory of complex variables. Suppose that C is the boundary of an open set M ⊃ σ(A) and M ∪ C is contained in the domain of analycity of f . We define f (A) by the equality  1 f (λ)Rλ (A)dλ (9.1) f (A) = − 2πi C (see the book by Dunford and Schwartz (1966, p. 568)). Theorem 6.9.1 Let A be a Hilbert-Schmidt operator and let f be a holomorphic function on a neighborhood of the closed convex hull co(A) of the spectrum of A. Then

Let An , n = 1, 2, ... converge to A in the norm N2 (.) and satisfy conditions (3.4). Then det2 (I − An ) → det2 (I − A). This finishes the proof. 2 Replacing in (10.1) A by λ−1 A, we get Corollary 6.10.2 Let A ∈ C2 . Then

Theorems 6.4.1, 6.7.1 and 6.9.1 were derived in the papers (Gil’, 1979a), (Gil’, 1992) and (Gil’, 1979b), respectively (see also (Gil’, 1995, Chapter 2)), but in the present chapter we suggest the new proofs. Theorems 6.4.2 and 6.7.3 are probably new. In the book (Dunford and Schwartz, 1963, p. 1038), instead of (10.3), it is erroneously stated that 1 N 2 (A)

7. Functions of Non-compact Operators

The present chapter is concerned with the estimates for the norms of resolvents and analytic functions of so called P -triangular operators. Roughly speaking, a P -triangular operator is a sum of a normal operator and a compact quasinilpotent one, having a sufficiently rich set of invariant subspaces. In particular, we consider the following classes of P -triangular operators: operators whose Hermitian components are compact operators, and operators, which are represented as sums of unitary operators and compact ones.

Terminology

Let A be a linear operator acting in a separable Hilbert space H. Let there be a linear manifold Dom (A), such that the relation f ∈ Dom (A) implies Af ∈ H. Then the set Dom (A) is called the domain of A. Let Dom (A) be dense in H. Then the set of vectors g satisfying |(Af, g)| ≤ c
f
for all f ∈ Dom (A) with a constant c is the domain of the adjoint operator A∗ and, besides, (Af, g) = (f, A∗ g) for all f ∈ Dom (A) and g ∈ Dom (A∗ ). An unbounded operator A is selfadjoint, if Dom (A) = Dom (A∗ ) and Ah = A∗ h (h ∈ Dom (A)). An unbounded selfadjoint operator possesses an unbounded real spectrum. An unbounded operator A is normal, if Dom (AA∗ ) = Dom (A∗ A) and AA∗ h = A∗ Ah (h ∈ Dom (A∗ A)). M.I. Gil’: LNM 1830, pp. 97–121, 2003. c Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2003

7. Functions of Non-compact Operators

An unbounded normal operator has an unbounded spectrum. Definition 7.1.1 Let A be a linear operator in H. Then A is said to be a quasi-normal operator, if it is a sum of a normal operator and a compact one. Operator A is said to be a quasi-Hermitian operator, if it is a sum of a selfadjoint operator and a compact one. Let A be bounded and AI ≡ (A − A∗ )/2i ∈ Cp (p ≥ 1). Then, as it is well-known (see e.g. (Gohberg and Krein, 1969, Section II.6)), the nonreal spectrum consists of the eigenvalues having finite multiplicities, and ∞

P -Triangular Operators

A family of orthogonal projectors P (t) in H (i.e. P 2 (t) = P (t) and P ∗ (t) = P (t)) defined on a (finite or infinite) segment [a, b] of the real axis is a an orthogonal resolution of the identity if for all t, s ∈ [a, b], P (a) = 0, P (b) = I ≡ the unit operator and P (t)P (s) = P (min(t, s)) An orthogonal resolution of the identity P (t) is left-continuous, if P (t − 0) = P (t) for all t ∈ (a, b] in the sense of the strong topology. Definition 7.2.1 Let P (t) be a left-continuous orthogonal resolution of the identity in H defined on a (finite or infinite) real segment [a, b]. Then P (.) will be called a maximal resolution of the identity (m.r.i.), if its every gap P (t0 + 0) − P (t0 ) (if it exists) is one-dimensional. Moreover, we will say that an m.r.i. P (.) belongs to a linear operator A (or A has an m.r.i. P (.)), if P (t)AP (t)h = AP (t)h for all t ∈ [a, b] and h ∈ Dom (A).

(2.1)

Recall that a linear operator V is called a Volterra one, if it is compact and quasinilpotent. Definition 7.2.2 Let a linear generally unbounded operator A have an m.r.i. P (.) defined on [a, b]. In addition, let A = D + V,

7.3. Properties of Volterra Operators

99

where D is a normal operator and V is a Volterra one, having the following properties: P (t)V P (t) = V P (t) (t ∈ [a, b]) (2.3) and DP (t)h = P (t)Dh (t ∈ [a, b], h ∈ Dom (A)).

(2.4)

Then A will be called a P -triangular operator. In addition, equality (2.2), and operators D and V will be called the triangular representation, diagonal part and nilpotent part of A, respectively. Clearly, this definition is in accordance with the definition of the triangular representation of compact operators (see Section 6.3).

7.3

Some Properties of Volterra Operators

Lemma 7.3.1 Let a compact operator V in H, have a maximal orthogonal resolution of the identity P (t) (a ≤ t ≤ b) (that is, condition (2.3) hold). If, in addition, (P (t0 + 0) − P (t0 ))V (P (t0 + 0) − P (t0 )) = 0

(3.1)

for every gap P (t0 + 0) − P (t0 ) of P (t) (if it exists), then V is a Volterra operator. Proof: Since the set of the values of P (.) is a maximal chain of projectors, the required result is due to Corollary 1 to Theorem 17.1 of the book by Brodskii (1971). 2 In particular, if P (t) is continuous in t in the strong topology and (2.3) holds, then V is a Volterra operator. We also need the following Lemma 7.3.2 Let V be a Volterra operator in H, and P (t) a maximal orthogonal resolution of the identity satisfying equality (2.3). Then equality (3.1) holds for every gap P (t0 + 0) − P (t0 ) of P (t) (if it exists). Proof: Since the set of the values of P (.) is a maximal chain of projectors, the required result is due to the well-known equality (I.3.1) from the book by Gohberg and Krein (1970). 2 Lemma 7.3.3 Let V and B be bounded linear operators in H having the same m.r.i. P (.). In addition, let V be a Volterra operator. Then V B and BV are Volterra operators, and P (.) is their m.r.i. Proof:

It is obvious that P (t)V BP (t) = V P (t)BP (t) = V BP (t).

7. Functions of Non-compact Operators

Now let Q = P (t0 + 0) − P (t0 ) be a gap of P (t). Then according to Lemma 7.3.2 equality (3.1) holds. Further, we have QV BQ = QV B(P (t0 + 0) − P (t0 )) = QV [P (t0 + 0)BP (t0 + 0) − P (t0 )BP (t0 )] = QV [(P (t0 ) + Q)B(P (t0 ) + Q) − P (t0 )BP (t0 )] = QV [P (t0 )BQ + QBP (t0 )]. Since QP (t0 ) = 0 and P (t) projects onto the invariant subspaces, we obtain QV BQ = 0. Due to Lemma 7.3.1 this relation and equality (3.2) imply that V B is a Volterra operator. Similarly we can prove that BV is a Volterra one. 2 Lemma 7.3.4 Let A be a (generally unbounded) P -triangular operator. Let V and D be the nilpotent and diagonal parts of A, respectively. Then for any regular point λ of D, the operators V Rλ (D) and Rλ (D)V are Volterra ones. Besides, A, V Rλ (D) and Rλ (D)V have the same m.r.i. Proof:

Due to (2.4) P (t)Rλ (D) = Rλ (D)P (t) for all t ∈ [a, b].

Now Lemma 7.3.3 ensures the required result. 2

Lemma 7.5.1 Let A be a P -triangular operator. Then σ(A) = σ(D), where D is the diagonal part of A. Proof: Let λ be a regular point of the operator D. According to the triangular representation (2.2) we obtain Rλ (A) = (D + V − λI)−1 = Rλ (D)(I + V Rλ (D))−1 .

(5.1)

Operator V Rλ (D) for a regular point λ of the operator D is a Volterra one due to Lemma 7.3.4. Therefore, (I + V Rλ (D))−1 =

Operator V Rλ (A) for a regular point λ of operator A is a Volterra one due to Lemma 7.3.3. So (I − V Rλ (A))−1 =

Triangular Representations of Quasi-Hermitian Operators

Theorem 7.6.1 Let a linear generally unbounded operator A satisfy the conditions Dom (A∗ ) = Dom (A) and AI = (A − A∗ )/2i ∈ Cp (1 < p < ∞).

(6.1)

Then A admits the triangular representation (2.2). Proof: First, let A be bounded. Then, as it is proved by L. de Branges (1965a, p. 69), under condition (6.1), there are a maximal orthogonal resolution of the identity P (t) defined on a finite real segment [a, b] and a real nondecreasing function h(t), such that  A=

(6.3)

k=1

The sequence {Tn } converges in the operator norm due to the well-known Lemma I.5.1 from the book (Gohberg and Krein, 1970). We denote its limit by T . Clearly, T is selfadjoint and P (t)T = T P (t) for all t ∈ [a, b]. Put  b h(t)dP (t) + 2iT. (6.4) D= a

Then D is normal and satisfies condition (2.4). Furthermore, it can be directly checked that Wn is a nilpotent operator: (Wn )n = 0. Besides, the sequence {Wn } converges in the operator norm, because the second integral in (6.2) and {Tn } converge in this norm. We denote the limit of the sequence {2iWn } by V . It is a Volterra operator, since the limit in the operator norm of a sequence of Volterra operators is a Volterra one (see for instance Lemma 2.17.1 from the book (Brodskii, 1971)). From this we easily obtain relations (2.1)-(2.4). So, for bounded operators the theorem is proved. Now let A be unbounded. Due to De Branges (1965a, p. 69), there is a maximal orthogonal resolution of the identity P (t), −∞ ≤ t ≤ ∞ and nondecreasing functions h(t), such that under (6.1), the representation  ∞  ∞ h(t)dP (t) + 2i P (t)AI dP (t) (6.5) A= −∞

−∞

holds. The integrals in (6.5) are understood as the limits of corresponding integrals from (6.2) when a → −∞ and b → ∞. Besides, the first integral in (6.5) is the strong limit on Dom(A) of the first integral in (6.2), and the second integral in (6.5) is the limit in the uniform operator topology of the second integral in (6.2). Take An = A(P (n) − P (−n)).

(6.6)

Clearly, An is bounded and has the property (6.1). So as it was proved above, according to (6.5) it has a triangular representation with the m.r.i. P (.). Hence, letting n → ∞, we get the required result. 2 Corollary 7.6.2 Let A be an unbounded operator with the property (6.1). Then it is P -triangular and there is a sequence of bounded P -triangular operators An , such that An − A∗n ∈ Cp , σ(An ) ⊆ σ(A), Np (An − A∗ ) → 0 and Np (Vn − V ) → 0 as n → 0, where Vn and V are the nilpotent part of An and A, respectively. Moreover, operators A and An (n = 1, 2, ...) have the same m.r.i. Indeed, taking An as in (6.6), we arrive at the result due to (2.2) and the previous theorem.

Resolvents of Operators with Hilbert-Schmidt Hermitian Components

In this section we obtain an estimate for the norm of the resolvent of a generally unbounded quasi-Hermitian operator under the conditions Dom (A) = Dom (A∗ ) and AI = (A − A∗ )/2i is a Hilbert-Schmidt operator.

Moreover, there are constants a0 , b0 > 0, such that
Rλ (A)

b0 g 2 (A) a0 exp [ 2 I ] (λ ∈ σ(A)). ρ(A, λ) ρ (A, λ)

(7.4)

These constants can be taken from (5.10) or from (5.11). Here ρ(A, λ) is the distance between the spectrum σ(A) of A and a complex point λ, again. To prove this theorem we need the following Lemma 7.7.2 Let an operator A satisfy the condition (7.1). Then it admits the triangular representation (due to Theorem 7.6.1). Moreover, N2 (V ) = gI (A), where V is the nilpotent part of A. Proof: First, assume that A is a bounded operator. Let D be the diagonal part of A. From the triangular representation (2.2) it follows that −4T r A2I = T r (A − A∗ )2 = T r (D + V − D∗ − V ∗ )2 . By Theorem 6.2.2 and Lemma 7.3.3, T race V D∗ = T race V ∗ D = 0. Hence, omitting simple calculations, we obtain −4T r A2I = T r (D − D∗ )2 + T r (V − V ∗ )2 . That is, N22 (AI ) = N22 (VI ) + N22 (DI ), where VI = (V − V ∗ )/2i and DI = (D − D∗ )/2i. Taking into account Lemma 6.5.1, we arrive at the equality 2N 2 (AI ) − 2N 2 (DI ) = N 2 (V ).

7.7. Operators with Property Ap − (A∗ )p ∈ C2

k=1

and we arrive at the result, if A is bounded. If A is unbounded, then the required assertion is due to Corollary 7.6.2 and the just proved result for bounded operators. 2 Proof of Theorem 7.7.1: Inequality (7.3) follows from Corollary 7.5.4 and Lemma 7.7.2. Inequality (7.4) follows from Theorem 7.5.5 and Lemma 7.7.2. 2

Indeed, this result follows from Theorem 7.7.1 and the obvious relation Rλ (A) = Tλ,p Rλp (Ap ).

In order to prove this theorem we need the following result. Lemma 7.9.2 Let A satisfy condition (9.1). Then it admits the triangular representation (due to Theorem 7.6.1), and the nilpotent part V of A satisfies the relation N2p (V ) ≤ βp N2p (AI ). Proof: Let V ∈ Cp (2 ≤ p < ∞) be a Volterra operator. Then due to the well-known Theorem III.6.2 from the book by Gohberg and Krein (1970, p. 118), there is a constant γp , depending on p, only, such that Np (VI ) ≤ γp Np (VR ) (VI = (V + V ∗ )/2i, VR := (V + V ∗ )/2).

According to (2.2) AI = VI + DI . First, assume that A is a bounded operator. Due to (1.1), the condition AI ∈ C2p entails the inequality N2p (DI ) ≤ N2p (AI ). Therefore, N2p (VI ) ≤ N2p (AI ) + N2p (DI ) ≤ 2N2p (AI ). Hence, due to (9.6), N2p (V ) ≤ N2p (VR ) + N2p (VI ) ≤ N2p (VI )(1 + γ2p ) = βp N2p (AI ), as claimed. Now let A be unbounded. To obtain the stated result in this case it is sufficient to apply Corollary 7.6.2 and the just obtained result for bounded operators. 2 The assertion of Theorem 7.9.1 follows from (5.8), Theorem 7.5.5 and Lemma 7.9.2.

Thus (11.2), (11.3) and (11.4) imply the required result. 2 The assertion of Theorem 7.10.1 immediately follows from Lemmas 7.11.2 and 7.7.2. 2

Regular Functions of Unbounded Operators

Let an operator A be unbounded with a dense domain Dom (A) = Dom (A∗ ). In addition, let the conditions (10.2) and β(A) := inf Re σ(A) > −∞

(12.1)

hold. Let f be analytic on some neighborhood of σ(A) and M an open set containing σ(A) whose boundary C consists of a finite number of Jordan arcs such that f is analytic on M ∪ C. Let C have positive orientation with respect to M . Then we define the function of the operator A by the equality  1 f (λ)Rλ (A)dλ, (12.2) f (A) = f (∞)I − 2πi C cf. (Dunford and Schwartz, 1966, p. 601). Without loss of generality we assume that f (∞) = 0. In the other case we can consider the function f (λ) − f (∞). Theorem 7.12.1 Under the conditions D(A) = D(A∗ ), (10.2) and (12.1), let f be regular on a neighborhood of co(A) and f (∞) = 0. Then inequality (10.3) is true. Proof: Due to Theorem 7.6.1, under (10.2), A admits the triangular representation. According to (2.4) and the von Neumann Theorem (Ahiezer and Glazman, 1981, Section 92), there exists a P -measurable scalar function φ, such that  ∞ D= φ(t)dP (t). −∞

In addition, as it was shown in the proof of Theorem 7.6.1, the function Re φ(t) nondecreases as t increases. Thus due to Lemma 7.5.1, inf Re φ(t) = β(D) = β(A) > −∞ and sup |Im φ(t)| < ∞. t

So the operators An = AP (n) are bounded. Moreover, relations σ(An ) ⊆ σ(A) and (12.3) (Iλ − A)−1 P (n) = (Iλ − An )−1 P (n) hold. Hence, due to (12.2)  1 f (A)P (n) = f (λ)(Iλ − An )−1 dλP (n) = f (An )P (n). 2πi C Due to Theorem 7.10.1,

Triangular Representations of Regular Functions

Lemma 7.13.1 Let a bounded operator A admit a triangular representation with some maximal resolution of the identity. In addition, let f be a function analytic on a neighborhood of σ(A). Then the operator f (A) admits the triangular representation with the same maximal resolution of the identity. Moreover, the diagonal part Df of f (A) is defined by Df = f (D), where D is the diagonal part of A.

7. Functions of Non-compact Operators

Proof:

Due to representations (10.1) and (2.2),   1 1 f (λ)Rλ (A)dλ = − f (λ)Rλ (D)(I + V Rλ (D))−1 dλ. f (A) = − 2πi C 2πi C

Consequently, f (A) = − where

Let P (.) be a maximal resolution of the identity of A. Due to Lemma 7.3.3, for each λ ∈ C, ψ(λ) is a Volterra operator with the same m.r.i. Since P (t) is a bounded operator, we have by Lemma 7.3.2

for every gap P (t0 + 0) − P (t0 ) of P (t). Thus, W is a Volterra operator thanks to Lemma 7.3.1. This and (13.1) prove the lemma. 2

7.14

Triangular Representations of Quasiunitary Operators

A bounded linear operator A is called a quasiunitary operator, if A∗ A − I is a completely continuous operator. Lemma 7.14.1 Let A be a linear operator in H satisfying the condition A∗ A − I ∈ Cp (1 ≤ p < ∞),

(14.1)

and let the operator I − A be invertible. Then the operator B = i(I − A)−1 (I + A)

(14.2)

(Cayley’s transformation of A) is bounded and satisfies the condition B − B ∗ ∈ Cp .

7.15. Functions of Quasiunitary Operators

Proof:

117

According to (14.1) we can write down A = U (I + K0 ) = U + K,

where U is a unitary operator and both operators K and K0 belong to Cp and K0 = K0∗ . Consequently, B ∗ = −i(I + U ∗ + K ∗ )(I − U ∗ − K ∗ )−1 = −i(I + U −1 + K ∗ )(I − U −1 − K ∗ )−1 . That is, B ∗ = −i(I + U + K0 )(U − I − K0 )−1 , since K0 = K ∗ U . But (14.2) clearly forces B = i(I + U + K)(I − U − K)−1 . Thus, 2BI = (B − B ∗ )/i = T1 + T2 , where T1 = (I + U )[(I − U − K)−1 + (U − I − K0 )−1 ] and

T2 = K(I − U − K)−1 + K0 (U − I − K0 )−1 .

Since K, K0 ∈ Cp , we conclude that T2 ∈ Cp . It remains to prove that T1 ∈ Cp . Let us apply the identity (I − U − K)−1 + (U − I − K0 )−1 = −(I − U − K)−1 (K0 + K)(U − I − K0 )−1 . Hence, T1 ∈ Cp . This completes the proof. 2 Lemma 7.14.2 Under condition (14.1), let A have a regular point on the unit circle. Then A admits the triangular representation (2.2)-(2.4). Proof: Without any loss of generality we assume that A has on the unit circle a regular point λ0 = 1. In the other case we can consider instead of A the operator Aλ−1 0 . Let us consider in H the operator B defined by (14.2). By the previous lemma it satisfies (14.2) and therefore due to Theorem 7.6.1 has a triangular representation. The transformation inverse to (14.2) must be defined by the formula (14.3) A = (B − iI)(B + iI)−1 . Now Lemma 7.13.1 ensures the result. 2

If A is a normal operator, then ϑ(A) = 0. Let A have the unitary spectrum, only. That is, σ(A) lies on the unit circle. Then ϑ(A) = [T r (A∗ A − I)]1/2 . Moreover, if the condition ∞

These constants can be taken from (5.10) or from (5.11). To prove this theorem we need the following Lemma 7.15.2 Under condition (15.1), let an operator A have a regular point on the unit circle. Then A admits the triangular representation (2.2) (due to Lemma 7.14.2). Moreover, N2 (V ) = ϑ(A), where V is the nilpotent part of A.

7.15. Functions of Quasiunitary Operators

119

Proof: By Lemma 7.3.3 and Theorem 6.2.2 T r (D∗ V ) = T r (V ∗ D) = 0. Employing the triangular representation (2.2) we obtain T r (A∗ A − I) = T r [(D + V )∗ (D + V ) − I)] = T r (D∗ D − I) + T r (V ∗ V ). Since D is a normal operator and the spectra of D and A coincide due to Lemma 7.5.1, then we can write T r (D∗ D − I) =

This equality implies the required result. 2 Proof of Theorem 7.15.1: Inequality (15.4) follows from relation (5.7) and Lemma 7.15.2. Inequality (15.5) follows from Theorem 7.5.5 and Lemma 7.15.2. 2 Let us extend Theorem 7.15.1 to the case Ap (A∗ )p − I ∈ C1

Theorem 7.15.4 Let a linear operator A satisfy condition (15.1) and have a regular point on the unit circle.

Notes

Notions similar to Definitions 7.1.1, 7.2.1 and 7.2.2 can be found in the books (Gohberg and Krein, 1970) and (Brodskii, 1971), as well as in the papers (Branges, 1963, 1965a and 1965b) and (Brodskii, Gohberg, and Krein, 1969). Theorem 7.5.3 is probably new. The results presented in Sections 7.6-7.8 are based on Chapter 3 of the book (Gil’, 1995), but the proofs are considerably improved. Theorem 7.9.1 was established in the paper (Gil’, 1993). Theorems 7.10.1 and 7.12.1 were derived in the paper (Gil’, 1992). Triangular representations of quasi-Hermitian and quasiunitary operators can be found, in particular, in the paper by V. Brodskii, I. Gohberg and M. Krein (1969), and references given therein.

8. Bounded Perturbations of Nonselfadjoint Operators

In the present chapter we consider the operators of the kind A + B, where A is a P -triangular operator and B is a bounded operator. We investigate the invertibility conditions and bounds for the spectra of such operators. In particular, we consider perturbations of the von Neumann - Schatten operators and operators with von Neumann - Schatten Hermitian components.

8.1

Invertibility of Boundedly Perturbed P -Triangular Operators

Throughout the present chapter, A is a P -triangular operator in a separable Hilbert space H with the nilpotent part V and diagonal part D. According to Definition 7.2.2 and Lemma 7.5.1 this means that A = D + V and σ(D) = σ(A).

(1.1)

Besides, D is a normal operator and V is a Volterra one. Moreover, D and V have the same maximal resolution of the identity. In addition, assume that B is a bounded linear operator in H.

(1.2)

In this section we suppose that D is boundedly invertible: rl (D) = inf |σ(D)| > 0. M.I. Gil’: LNM 1830, pp. 123–134, 2003. c Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2003

1 1 1 exp [ (1 + 2p )] = a (a ≡ const > 0) y j+1 2 y

satisfies the inequality za ≤ δp (a), where  pe/a δp (a) := [ln (a/p)]−1/2p Proof:

if a ≤ pe, . if a > pe

(3.3)

(3.4)

Assume that pe ≥ a.

(3.5)

Since the function f (y) ≡

p−1
j=0

1 1 1 exp [ (1 + 2p )] y j+1 2 y

is nonincreasing and f (1) = pe, we have za ≥ 1. But due to (3.3), za = 1/a

p−1


za−j exp [(1 + za−2p )/2] ≤ pe/a.

j=0

So in the case (3.5), the lemma is proved. Let now pe < a. Then za ≤ 1. But p−1


xj+1 ≤ pxp ≤ p exp [xp − 1] ≤ p exp [(x2p + 1)/2 − 1]

But za ≤ 1 under (3.6). We thus have a = f (za ) ≤ p exp [ Or

za2p ≤ 1/ln (a/p).

This finishes the proof. 2

Spectral Variations

Definition 8.4.1 Let A and B be linear operators in H. Then the quantity svA (B) := sup

inf |µ − λ|

µ∈σ(B) λ∈σ(A)

is called the spectral variation of a B with respect to A. In addition, hd(A, B) := max{svA (B), svB (A)} is the Hausdorff distance between the spectra of A and B. First, we will prove the following technical lemma Lemma 8.4.2 Let A1 and A2 be linear operators in H with the same domain and q ≡
A1 − A2
< ∞. In addition, let
Rλ (A1 )
≤ F (ρ−1 (A1 , λ)) (λ ∈ σ(A1 ))

(4.1)

where F (x) is a monotonically increasing non-negative function of a nonnegative variable x, such that F (0) = 0 and F (∞) = ∞. Then svA1 (A2 ) ≤ z(F, q), where z(F, q) is the extreme right-hand (positive) root of the equation 1 = qF (1/z). Proof:

(4.2)

Due to (4.1) and Lemma 8.2.1, 1 ≤ qF (ρ−1 (A, µ)) for all µ ∈ σ(B).

(4.3)

Compare this inequality with (4.2). Since F (x) monotonically increases, z(F, q) is a unique positive root of (4.2), and ρ(A, µ) ≤ z(F, q). This proves the required result. 2 The previous lemma and Theorem 7.5.3 imply

8. Bounded Perturbations of P -Triangular Operators

Theorem 8.4.3 Let conditions (1.1), (1.2) and (1.4) hold. Then svD (A + B) ≤ zY (V, B) where zY (V, B) is the extreme right-hand (positive) root of the equation 1 =

Note that to estimate the root zY (V, B), one can use Lemma 8.3.1. Moreover, Lemma 8.4.2 and Theorem 7.5.5 imply Theorem 8.4.4 Let conditions (1.1), (1.2) and (1.5) hold. Then svD (A+B) ≤ zp (V, B), where zp (V, B) is the extreme right-hand (positive) root of the equation p−1 j 2p

and δp (.) is defined by (3.4). We thus have derived Corollary 8.4.5 Under the hypothesis of Theorem 8.4.4, svD (A + B) ≤ δp (V, B).

Perturbations of Compact Operators

First assume that A ∈ C2 .

(5.1)

By virtue of Lemma 8.4.2 and Theorem 6.4.2 we arrive at the following result.

8.5. Compact Operators

131

Theorem 8.5.1 Let condition (5.1) hold and B be a bounded operator in H. Then svA (A + B) ≤ z˜1 (A, B), where z˜1 (A, B) is the extreme right-hand (positive) root of the equation 1=

1 g 2 (A)
B
exp [ + ]. z 2 2z 2

(5.2)

Furthermore, substitute in (5.2) the equality z = xg(A). Then we arrive at the equation 1 1 g(A) 1 exp [ + 2 ] = . z 2 2z
B
˜ 1 (A, B), where Applying Lemma 8.3.2 to this equation, we get z˜1 (A, B) ≤ ∆ ˜ 1 (A, B) := g(A)δ1 (g(A)/

(5.3)

Now Theorem 8.5.1 yields Corollary 8.5.2 Under the hypothesis of Theorem 8.5.1, for any µ ∈ σ(A + B), there is a µ0 ∈ σ(A), such that |µ − µ0 | ≤ δ˜1 (A, B). In particular, ˜ 1 (A, B), rs (A + B) ≤ rs (A) + ∆

˜ 1 (A, B), 0} and α(A + B) ≤ α(A) + ∆ ˜ 1 (A, B). rl (A + B) ≥ max{rl (A) − ∆ (5.5) Remark 8.5.3 According to Lemma 6.5.2, in Theorem 8.5.1 and its corol√ lary, one can replace g(A) by 2N2 (AI ). Now let A ∈ C2p (p = 2, 3, ...).

(5.6)

Then by virtue of Lemma 8.4.2 and Theorem 6.7.3 we arrive at the following result. Theorem 8.5.4 Let condition (5.6) hold and B be a bounded operator in H. Then svA (A + B) ≤ y˜p (A, B), where y˜p (A, B) is the extreme right-hand (positive) root of the equation 1 =

8. Bounded Perturbations of P -Triangular Operators

Furthermore, substitute in (5.7) the equality z = x2N2p (A) and apply Lemma 8.3.2. Then we get y˜p (A, B) ≤ ∆p (A, B), where ∆p (A, B) := 2N2p (A)δp (2N2p (A)/
B

(5.8)

Now Theorem 8.5.4 yields Corollary 8.5.5 Under the hypothesis of Theorem 8.5.4, for any µ ∈ σ(A + B), there is a µ0 ∈ σ(A), such that |µ − µ0 | ≤ ∆p (A, B). In particular, ˜ 1 (A, B). relations (5.4) and (5.5) hold with ∆p (A, B) instead of ∆ Remark 8.5.6 According to Theorem 7.9.1, in Theorem 8.5.4 and its corollary one can replace 2N2p (A) by β˜p N2p (AI ).

8.6

Perturbations of Operators with Compact Hermitian Components

First, let Dom (A) = Dom (A∗ ) and A − A∗ ∈ C2 .

(6.1)

Then by virtue of Lemma 8.4.2 and Theorem 7.7.1 we arrive at the following result. Theorem 8.6.1 Let condition (6.1) hold and B be a bounded operator in H. Then svA (A + B) ≤ x1 (A, B), where x1 (A, B) is the extreme right-hand (positive) root of the equation 1 =
B


∞
g k (A) √I . k!z k+1 k=0

(6.2)

√ Recall that gI (A) ≤ 2N2 (AI ). According to Theorem 7.7.1, one can replace (6.2) by the equation 1=

1 g 2 (A)
B
exp [ + I 2 ]. z 2 2z

(6.3)

Furthermore, substitute in (6.3) the equality z = xgI (A) and apply Lemma 8.3.2. Then we can assert that extreme right-hand root of equation (6.3) is less than τ1 (A, B), where τ1 (A, B) = gI (A)δ1 (gI (A)/
B
).

8.6. Operators with Compact Components

So, according to (3.4),  e

Hence, Theorem 8.6.1 yields Corollary 8.6.2 Let condition (6.1) hold and B be a bounded operator in H. Then for any µ ∈ σ(A + B), there is a µ0 ∈ σ(A), such that |µ − µ0 | ≤ τ1 (A, B). In particular, rs (A + B) ≤ rs (A) + τ1 (A, B), rl (A + B) ≥ max{rl (A) − τ1 (A, B), 0} and α(A + B) ≤ α(A) + τ1 (A, B). Now let

A − A∗ ∈ C2p (p = 2, 3, ...).

(6.4)

Then by virtue of Lemma 8.4.2 and Theorem 7.9.1 we arrive at the following result. Theorem 8.6.3 Let condition (6.4) hold and B be a bounded operator in H. Then svD (A + B) ≤ x ˜p (A, B), where x ˜p (A, B) is the extreme right-hand (positive) root of the equation p−1

p−1

(6.6)

Furthermore, substitute in (6.6) the equality z = xwp (A) and apply Lemma 8.3.2. Then we can assert that the extreme right-hand root of equation (6.6) is less than mp (A, B) := wp (A)δp (wp (A)/

B
mp (A, B) = wp (A) [ln (wp (A)/p

if wp (A) ≤ ep

Now Theorem 8.6.3 implies Corollary 8.6.4 Let conditions (1.2) and (6.6) hold. Then for any µ ∈ σ(A + B), there is a µ0 ∈ σ(A), such that |µ − µ0 | ≤ mp (A, B). In particular, rs (A + B) ≤ rs (A) + mp (A, B), rl (A + B) ≥ max{rl (A) − τ˜p (A, B), 0} and α(A + B) ≤ α(A) + τ˜p (A, B).

9. Spectrum Localization of Nonself-adjoint Operators

In the present chapter we consider operators of the form A = D + V+ + V− , where D is a normal operator and V± are Volterra (quasinilpotent compact) operators. Numerous integral, integro-differential operators and infinite matrices can be represented in such a form. We investigate the invertibility conditions and bounds for the spectra of the mentioned operators.

9.1

Invertibility Conditions

Let P (t) (a ≤ t ≤ b; −∞ ≤ a < b ≤ ∞) be a maximal resolution of the identity in a separable Hilbert space H (see Section 7.2). Let A = D + V + + V− ,

(1.1)

where D is a normal operator and V± are Volterra operators satisfying the conditions P (t)V+ P (t) = V+ P (t); P (t)V− P (t) = P (t)V− , P (t)Dh = DP (t)h (a ≤ t ≤ b; h ∈ Dom (D)).

(1.2)

As above, Y is a norm ideal of compact operators in H, which is complete in an auxiliary norm | · |Y . In addition, there are positive numbers θk (k ∈ N) 1/k with θk → 0 (k → ∞), for which, for arbitrary Volterra operators V ∈ Y , k
V
≤ θk |V |kY (k = 1, 2, ...). It is assumed that V± ∈ Y . That is,
V±k
≤ θk |V± |kY (k = 1, 2, ...). M.I. Gil’: LNM 1830, pp. 135–149, 2003. c Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2003

9. Spectrum Localization

In addition, in this section it is assumed that D is boundedly invertible: rl (D) = inf |σ(D)| > 0.

(1.4)

Since D is normal and V± are Volterra operators, due to Lemma 7.3.3 conditions (1.2) are enough to guarantee that W± := D−1 V± are also Volterra operators. Under (1.2)-(1.4), put ni(W± )−1




JY (W± ) ≡

where ni(V ) again denotes the “nilpotency index” of a quasinilpotent operator V (see Section 7.5). With this notation we have Theorem 9.1.1 Under conditions (1.1)-(1.4), let ζY (A) := max {

The proof of Theorem 9.1.1 is presented in the next section. Note that in Theorem 9.1.1, one can replace JY (W± ) by IY (W± ) :=

Consider operators, whose off-diagonal parts belong to the Neumann-Schatten ideal C2p with some integer p ≥ 1: V± ∈ C2p . Again put (p)

where [x] means the integer part of a real number x. For a Volterra operator V ∈ C2p denote ni(V )−1

(1.9)

Then operator A represented by (1.1) is boundedly invertible. Moreover,

Besides, the constants a0 , b0 can be taken as in the relations  √ c c and b0 = for any c > 1, in particular, a0 = 2 and b0 = 1, a0 = c−1 2 (1.10) or as in the relations (1.11) a0 = e1/2 and b0 = 1/2. In the next section we also prove Theorem 9.1.3 Let relations (1.2), (1.4) and (1.8) hold. In addition, let ζ˜p (A) := max{

1 1 −

Then operator A represented by (1.1) is boundedly invertible. Moreover,

Proofs of Theorems 9.1.1 and 9.1.3

We need the following simple Lemma 9.2.1 Under conditions (1.2) and (1.4), let θ0 :=
(D + V− )−1 V+

(2.1)

Then operator A represented by (1.1) is boundedly invertible. Moreover,

Proof:

According to (1.1) we have A = (D + V− )(I + (D + V− )−1 V+ ).

(2.3)

Thanks to (1.2) and Lemma 7.5.1, σ(D + V± ) = σ(D).

(2.4)

So according to (1.4), D + V± is invertible. Moreover, under condition (2.1), the operator I + (D + V− )−1 V+ is invertible and

This relation and (2.7) yield the required result. 2 Proof of Theorem 9.1.3: Due to Theorem 6.7.3,

≤ ψp (W± )ρ−1 l (D). In addition,

Now the required result is due to Lemma 9.2.1. 2

Due to Lemma 7.3.4, (D − λI) V± is a quasinilpotent operator for any λ ∈ σ(D). Put ν± (λ) ≡ ni((D − λI)−1 V± ). Everywhere below we can replace ν± (λ) by ∞. Again, Rλ (A) is the resolvent and ρ(D, λ) = inf z∈σ(D) |s − z|.

Lemma 9.3.1 Under conditions (1.2), (1.3), for a λ ∈ σ(D), let ζ(A, λ) ≡ max{

(3.1)

Then λ is a regular point of operator A represented by (1.1). Moreover,
Rλ (A)
≤ Proof:

1 . ζ(A, λ)ρ(D, λ)

(3.2)

Since, D is a normal operator,
(D − λI)−1
= ρ−1 (λ, D). Thus, |(D − λI)−1 V± |Y ≤
(D − λI)−1
|V± |Y = ρ−1 (λ, D)|V± |Y .

Hence,

Now Theorem 9.1.1 with A − λI = D + V+ + V− − λI instead of A, yields the required result. 2 Furthermore, Lemma 9.3.1 implies Corollary 9.3.2 Under conditions (1.1), (1.2) and (1.3), for any µ ∈ σ(A), there is a µ0 ∈ σ(D), such that, either µ = µ0 , or both the inequalities

9.4. Upper Bounds for Spectra

141

This result is exact in the following sense: if either V− = 0, or (and) V+ = 0, then due to the latter corollary, σ(A) = σ(D).

Then the equation has a unique positive root zY (A). Moreover, svD (A) ≤ zY (A). Proof:

for any µ ∈ σ(A). Comparing this inequality with (4.4), we have ρ(D, µ) ≤ zY (A). This inequality proves the theorem. 2 Lemma 9.4.2 Under the conditions (1.1), (1.2) and V˜ ∈ C2p (p = 1, 2, ...),

for any µ ∈ σ(A). Comparing this inequality with (4.6), we get ρ(D, µ) ≤ z2p (A). This inequality proves the required result. 2 To estimate z2p (A), substitute z = xN2p (V˜ ) in (4.6) and use Lemma 8.3.2. Then z2p (A) ≤ φp (A) = N2p (V˜ )δp (a), where a = N2p (V˜ )/τ (A) and  pe/a if a ≤ pe δp (a) := . (4.8) [ln (a/p)]−1/2p if a > pe That is,  φp (A) :=

if N2p (V˜ ) ≤ τ (A)pe . if N2p (V˜ ) > τ (A)pe (4.9)

Now the previous lemma yields Corollary 9.4.3 Under conditions (1.1), (1.2) and (4.5), svD (A) ≤ φp (A). In particular, rs (A) ≤ rs (D) + φp (A), provided D is bounded. In the case V˜ ∈ C2 we have δ1 (a) := and

(5.3)

Now we are in a position to formulate the main result of the present section. Theorem 9.5.1 Let A be defined by (1.1) and conditions (1.2) and (5.2) hold. Then (5.4) svA (D) ≤ y(τ, F ). The proof of this theorem is presented below. Recall that rl (A) := inf |σ(A)|, α(A) := sup Re σ(A). Corollary 9.5.2 Under the hypothesis of Theorem 9.5.1, the following inequalities are true: rs (A) ≥ max{0, rs (D) − y(τ, F )} if D is bounded,

(5.5)

rl (A) ≤ rl (D) + y(τ, F ) and

(5.6)

α(A) ≥ α(D) − y(τ, F ) if α(D) < ∞.

(5.7)

Indeed, take µ in such a way that |µ| = rs (D). Then due to (5.4), there is µ0 ∈ σ(A), such that |µ0 | ≥ rs (D) − y(τ, F ). Hence, (5.5) follows. Similarly, inequality (5.6) can be proved. Furthermore, take µ in such a way that Re µ = α(D). Due to (1.6) for some µ0 ∈ σ(A), |Re µ0 − α(D)| ≤ y(τ, F ). So, either Re µ0 ≥ α(D), or Re µ0 ≥ α(D) − y(τ, F ). Thus, inequality (5.7) is also proved. Proof of Theorem 9.5.1: Take the operator B+ = D + V+ . Then due to (2.4) σ(B+ ) = σ(D). Due to to Lemma 8.4.2, for any µ ∈ σ(D), there is µ0 ∈ σ(A), such that (5.8) |µ0 − µ| ≤ z− , where z− is the unique positive root of the equation
V−
F (1/z) = 1 (z ≥ 0). Now, take B− = D + V− . Then due to relation (2.4), we get σ(B− ) = σ(D). Similarly to (5.8), we have that for any µ ∈ σ(D), there is µ0 ∈ σ(A), such that (5.9) |µ0 − µ| ≤ z+ , where z+ is the unique positive root of the equation
V+
F (1/z) = 1, since
A − B−

. Relations (5.8) and (5.9) prove the required result. 2

Proof: The required result is due to Theorems 6.4.2 and 9.5.1, and Corollary 9.4.3. 2 Substitute z = g(A)x in (6.2) and use Lemma 8.3.2. Then we get ˜ 2 (A) := g(A)δ1 ( y˜2 (A, τ ) ≤ ∆ where δ1 (a) is defined by (4.10). That is,  eτ (A) ˜ ∆2 (A) := g(A)[ln (g(A)/τ (A))]−1/2

Notes

The present chapter is based on the papers (Gil’, 2002) and (Gil’, 2003). Theorem 9.1.1 supplements the well-known results on the invertibility of linear operators, cf. (Harte, 1988). As it was above mentioned, a lot of papers and books have been devoted to the spectrum of linear operators. Mainly, the asymptotic distributions of the eigenvalues are considered, cf. the books (Pietsch, 1987), (K¨onig, 1986), and references therein. But the bounds and invertibility conditions have been investigated considerably less than the asymptotic distributions. At the same time, in particular, Theorems 9.6.1, 9.7.1 and 9.8.1 and their corollaries give us explicit bounds for the spectrum of the considered operators.

10. Multiplicative Representations of Resolvents

In the present chapter we introduce the notion of the multiplicative operator integral in a separable Hilbert space H. By virtue of the multiplicative operator integral, we derive spectral representations for resolvents of various classes of P -triangular operators. These representations are generalizations of the classical spectral representation for the resolvent of a normal operator. If the maximal resolution of the identity is discrete, then the multiplicative integral is an operator product.

Operators with Finite Chains of Invariant Projectors

Recall that I is the unit operator in H. Lemma 10.1.1 Let P be a projector onto an invariant subspace of a bounded linear operator A in H, P = 0 and P = I. Then λRλ (A) = −(I − AP Rλ (A)P )(I − A(I − P )Rλ (A)(I − P )) (λ ∈ σ(A)). Proof:

Denote E = I − P . Since A = (E + P )A(E + P ) and EAP = 0,

we have A = P AE + P AP + EAE. M.I. Gil’: LNM 1830, pp. 151–161, 2003. c Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2003

Let us check the equality Rλ (A) = P Rλ (A)P − P Rλ (A)P AERλ (A)E + ERλ (A)E.

(1.2)

In fact, multiplying this equality from the left by A − Iλ and taking into account the equalities (1.1), AP = P AP and P E = 0, we obtain the relation ((A − Iλ)P + (A − Iλ)E + P AE)(P Rλ (A)P − P Rλ (A)P AERλ (A)E + ERλ (A)E) = P − P AERλ (A)E + E + P AERλ (A)E = I. Similarly, multiplying (1.2) by A − Iλ from the right and taking into account (1.1), we obtain I. Therefore, (1.2) is correct. Due to (1.2) I − ARλ (A) = (I − ARλ (A)P )(I − AERλ (A)E).

(1.3)

I − ARλ (A) = −λRλ (A).

Proof:

Due to the previous lemma

λRλ (A) = −(I − APn−1 Rλ (A)Pn−1 )(I − A(I − Pn−1 )Rλ (A)(I − Pn−1 )). But I − Pn−1 = ∆Pn . So equality (1.4) implies. I − ARλ (A) = (I − APn−1 Rλ (A)Pn−1 )(I − A∆Pn Rλ (A)∆Pn ). Applying this relation to APn−1 , we get I − APn−1 Rλ (A)Pn−1 = (I − APn−2 Rλ (A)Pn−2 )(I − A∆Pn−1 Rλ (A)∆Pn−1 ). Consequently, I − ARλ (A) = (I − APn−2 Rλ (A)Pn−2 )(I − A∆Pn−1 Rλ (A)∆Pn−1 )(I− A∆Pn Rλ (A)∆Pn ). Continuing this process, we arrive at the required result. 2.

Therefore, Pk−1 V ∆Pk = Pk−1 A∆Pk = V ∆Pk and A∆Pk = Pk A∆Pk = ∆Pk A∆Pk + Pk−1 A∆Pk = λk (A)∆Pk + V ∆Pk . Now Lemma 10.2.1 implies the relation

In particular, let P be an orthogonal resolution of the identity defined on [a, b], φ be a function integrable in the Riemann-Stieljes with respect to P , and A be a compact linear operator. Then the right multiplicative integral  → (I + φ(t)AdP (t)) [a,b]

But thanks to the well known Lemma I.3.1 (Gohberg and Krein, 1970), the sequence {

Proof: Due to Lemma 10.6.1, V is the limit in the operator norm of the sequence of operators Vn , defined by (6.1) . Due to Lemma 10.1.2, (I − Vn )−1 =

10. Multiplicative Representations of Resolvents

Proof: By Lemma 7.3.4 V Rλ (D) is a Volterra operator. We invoke Lemma 10.6.3. It asserts that  → (I − V Rλ (D)dP (t)). (7.3) (I + V Rλ (D))−1 = [a,b]

Thus, V dP (t) = 2iP (t)VI dP (t). Moreover, since DI dP (t) = Im φ(t)dP (t), we get V dP (t) = 2i[P (t)AI − Im φ(t)]dP (t). Thus, applying Theorem 10.7.1, we get Corollary 10.7.3.

11. Relatively P -Triangular Operators

This chapter is devoted to operators of the type A = D + W , where D is a normal boundedly invertible operator in a separable Hilbert space H, and W has the following property: V := D−1 W is a Volterra operator in H. If, in addition, A has a maximal resolutions of the identity, then it is called a relatively P -triangular operator. Below we derive estimates for the resolvents of various relatively P -triangular operators and investigate spectrum perturbations of such operators.

11.1

Definitions and Preliminaries

Let P (.) be a maximal resolution of the identity defined on a real segment [a, b] (see Section 7.2). In the present chapter paper we consider a linear operator A in H of the type A=D+W

(1.1)

where D is a normal boundedly invertible, generally unbounded operator and W is linear operator with the properties H ⊇ Dom (W ) ⊃ Dom (D) = Dom (A). In addition, P (t)W P (t)h = W P (t)h (t ∈ [a, b], h ∈ Dom (W ))

(1.2)

DP (t)h = P (t)Dh (t ∈ [a, b], h ∈ Dom (A)).

Moreover,

11. Relatively P -Triangular Operators

V := D−1 W is a Volterra operator .

(1.4)

We have P (t)D−1 W P (t)h = D−1 P (t)W P (t)h = D−1 W P (t)h (t ∈ [a, b], h ∈ Dom (A)). So P (t)V P (t) = V P (t) (t ∈ [a, b]). Definition 11.1.1 Let relations (1.1)-(1.4) hold. Then A is said to be a relatively P -triangular operator (RPTO), D is the diagonal part of A and V is the relatively nilpotent part of A. Everywhere in the present chapter A denotes a relatively P -triangular operator, D denotes its diagonal part and V ∈ Y denotes the relatively nilpotent part of A. Recall that Y is an ideal of linear compact operators in H with a norm |.|Y and the following property: any Volterra operator V ∈ Y satisfies the inequalities (1.5)
V k
≤ θk |V |kY (k = 1, 2, ...), √ k where constants θk are independent of V and θk → 0 (k → ∞). Under (1.5) put ni(V )−1
JY (V ) = θk |V |kY (θ0 = 1), k=0

where ni (V ) is the ”nilpotency” index (see Definition 1.4.2). In the sequel one can replace ni (V ) by ∞. Let rl (D) = inf |σ(D)|, again. Since D is invertible, rl (D) > 0. Lemma 11.1.2 Under conditions (1.1)-(1.5), operator A is boundedly invertible. Moreover,
A−1
≤ rl−1 (D)JY (V ) and
A−1 D
≤ JY (V ). Proof: Clearly, A = (D + W ) = D(I + V ). So A−1 = (I + V )−1 D−1 . Due to (1.5)
(I + V )−1
≤ JY (V ). Since D is normal,
D−1
= rl−1 (D). This proves the required results. 2

Lemma 11.2.1 Under conditions (1.1)-(1.5), let λ ∈ σ(D). Then λ is a regular point of operator A. Moreover,
Rλ (A)
≤ rl−1 (D)JY (V, ν(λ), w(λ, D))

(2.1)


Rλ (A)D
≤ JY (V, ν(λ), w(λ, D)).

(2.2)

and Proof:

According to (1.1), A − λI = (D − λI)(I + (D − λI)−1 W ).

Consequently

Rλ (A) = (I + Rλ (D)W )−1 Rλ (D).

Taking into account that (D − λI)−1 = (I − D−1 λ)−1 D−1 , we have Rλ (A) = (I + (I − D−1 λ)−1 D−1 W )−1 (I − D−1 λ)−1 D−1 .

(2.3)

But D is normal. Therefore,
(I − D−1 λ)−1
≤

1 . w(λ, D)

Moreover, due to Lemma 7.3.3, (I − D−1 λ)−1 V is a Volterra operator. So ν(λ)−1

Thus (2.3) yields

(I + (I − D−1 λ)−1 V )−1 D−1 (I − D−1 λ)−1
≤ JY (V, ν(λ), w(λ, D))rl−1 (D). Therefore (2.1) is proved. Moreover, thanks to (2.3)
Rλ (A)D
≤
(I + (I − D−1 λ)−1 V )−1 (I − D−1 λ)−1
≤ JY (V, ν(λ), w(λ, D)). So inequality (2.2) is also proved. 2

11.3

Invertibility of Perturbed RPTO

In the sequel Z is a linear operator in H satisfying the condition m(Z) :=
D−1 Z
< ∞.

(3.1)

Lemma 11.3.1 Under conditions (1.1)-(1.5) and (3.1), let JY (V )m(Z) < 1.

(3.2)

Then the operator A + Z is boundedly invertible. Moreover, the inverse operator satisfies the inequality
(A + Z)−1
≤ Proof:

JY (V ) . ρl (D)(1 − JY (V )m(Z))

Due to Lemma 11.1.2 we have
A−1 Z
=
A−1 DD−1 Z
≤ JY (V )m(Z).

But (A + Z)−1 − A−1 = −A−1 Z(A + Z)−1 = −A−1 DD−1 Z(A + Z)−1 . Hence,


(A + Z)−1
≤
A−1
+
A−1 DD−1 Z(A + Z)−1

and


(A + Z)−1

Lemma 11.1.2 yields now the required result. 2

Resolvents of Perturbed RPTO

Recall that JY (V, ν(λ), w(λ, D)) is defined in Section 11.2. Theorem 11.4.1 Under conditions (1.1)-(1.5) and (3.1), for a λ ∈ σ(D), let m(Z)JY (V, ν(λ), w(λ, D)) < 1. (4.1) Then λ is a regular point of operator A + Z. Moreover,
Rλ (A + Z)
≤ Proof:

JY (V, ν(λ), w(λ, D)) . ρl (D)(1 − m(Z)JY (V, ν(λ), w(λ, D)))

Due to Lemma 11.2.1,
Rλ (A)Z
=
Rλ (A)DD−1 Z
≤ m(Z)JY (V, ν(λ), w(λ, D)).

But Rλ (A + Z) − Rλ (A) = −Rλ (A)ZRλ (A + Z). Hence,
Rλ (A + Z)
≤
Rλ (A)
+
Rλ (A)Z

Rλ (A + Z)

. Due to (4.1)
Rλ (A + Z)
≤
Rλ (A)
(1 − m(Z)JY (V, ν(λ), w(λ, D))−1 . Now Lemma 11.2.1 yields the required result. 2 Theorem 11.4.1 implies Corollary 11.4.2 Under conditions (1.1)-(1.5) and (3.1), for any µ ∈ σ(A+ Z), there is a µ0 ∈ σ(D), such that, either µ = µ0 , or m(Z)JY (V, ν(µ), |1 − µµ−1 0 |) ≥ 1.

will be called the relative spectral variation of B with respect to A. In addition, rhd(A, B) := max{rsvA (B), rsvB (A)} is said to be the relative Hausdorff distance between the spectra of A and B.

In the sequel one can replace ν˜0 by ∞. Theorem 11.5.2 Under conditions (1.1)-(1.5) and (3.1), the equation m(Z)JY (V, ν˜0 , z) = 1

(5.1)

has a unique positive root z0 (Y, V, Z). Moreover, rsvD (A + Z) ≤ z0 (Y, V, Z).

(5.2)

Proof: Comparing equation (5.2) with inequality (4.2), we arrive at the required result. 2 Lemma 8.3.1 and Theorem 11.5.2 imply Corollary 11.5.3 Under conditions (1.1)-(1.5) and (3.1), we have the inequality (5.3) rsvD (A + Z) ≤ δY (A, Z), where δY (A, Z) ≡ 2 max

j=1,2,...

 j θj−1 |V |j−1 Y

.

Due to (5.3), for any µ ∈ σ(A + Z), there is a µ0 ∈ σ(D), such that 1 ≤ |µµ−1 0 | + δY (A, Z). Thus, |µ| ≥ |µ0 |(1 − δY (A, Z)). Let µ = rl (A + Z). Then we get Corollary 11.5.4 Under conditions (1.1)-(1.5) and (3.1), we have the inequality rl (A + Z) ≥ rl (D) max{0, 1 − δY (A, Z)}.

Then Lemma 11.1.2 implies that under (1.1)-(1.4) and (6.1),
A−1

A−1 D

(6.3)

Moreover, due to Lemma 11.3.1, we get Lemma 11.6.1 Under conditions (1.1)-(1.4), (3.1) and (6.1), let m(Z)Jp (V ) < 1. Then operator A + Z is boundedly invertible. Moreover,

a0 = e1/2 , b0 = 1/2.

Lemma 11.6.2 Under conditions (1.1)-(1.4), (3.1) and (6.1), let m(Z)ψp (V, 1) < 1. Then operator A + Z is boundedly invertible. Moreover,

Proof:

Due to Theorem 6.7.3,

But A−1 = (I + V )−1 D−1 . So −1 D

A−1

Now, using the arguments of the proof of Lemma 11.3.1, we arrive at the required result. 2

11.6.2

The norm of the resolvent

Recall that ν(λ) is defined in Section 11.2. Relation (6.2) and Lemma 11.2.1, under (6.1) imply
Rλ (A)
≤ rl−1 (D)J˜p (V, ν(λ), w(λ, D)) and
Rλ (A)D
≤ J˜p (V, ν(λ), w(λ, D)) (λ ∈ σ(A)), where J˜p (V, m, z) =

m−1
k=0

(p)

k θk N2p (V ) (z > 0). z k+1

Now thanks to Theorem 11.4.1, we get Theorem 11.6.3 Under conditions (1.1)-(1.4), (3.1) and (6.1), let m(Z)J˜p (V, ν(λ), w(λ, D)) < 1. Then λ is a regular point of operator A + Z. Moreover,
Rλ (A + Z)
≤ Put

J˜p (V, ν(λ), w(λ, D)) . rl (D) (1 − m(Z)J˜p (V, ν(λ), w(λ, D))

V˜ (λ) = (I − D−1 λ)−1 V.

Thanks to (2.3) Rλ (A)D = (I + V˜ (λ))−1 (I − D−1 λ)−1 . Taking into account (6.7), we get
Rλ (A)
≤ ψp (V˜ (λ), 1)w(λ, D). Hence, we arrive at the inequalities
Rλ (A)
≤ rl−1 (D)ψp (V, w(λ, D)) and
Rλ (A)D
≤ ψp (V, w(λ, D)) (6.8) for all λ ∈ σ(A). Now, taking into account (6.8) and repeating the arguments of the proof of Theorem 11.4.1, we arrive at the following result

Corollary 11.6.4 Under conditions (1.1)-(1.4), (3.1) and (6.1), let m(Z)ψp (V, w(λ, D)) < 1. Then λ is a regular point of operator A + Z. Moreover,

(6.9)

Theorem 11.6.6 Under conditions (1.1)-(1.4), (3.1) and (6.1), the equation p−1 2p k
N2p (V ) N2p (V ) m(Z) exp [(1 + )/2] = 1 (6.10) k+1 2p z z k=0

has a unique positive root zp (V, Z). Moreover, rsvD (A + Z) ≤ zp (V, Z). In particular, the lower spectral radius of A + Z satisfies the inequality rl (A + Z) ≥ rl (D) max{0, 1 − zp (V, Z)}. Proof: 2

Comparing (6.9) and (6.10), we have w(D, µ) ≤ zp (V, Z), as claimed.

Substituting the equality z = N2p (V )x, in (6.10) and applying Lemma 8.3.2, we get zp (V, Z) ≤ ∆p (V, Z), where ∆p (V, Z) :=



m(Z)pe N2p (V )[ln (N2p (V )/m(Z)p)]−1/2p

if N2p (V ) ≤ m(Z)pe . if N2p (V ) > m(Z)pe

Thanks to Theorem 11.6.5 we arrive at the following Corollary 11.6.7 Under conditions (1.1)-(1.5), (3.1) and (6.1), rsvD (A + Z) ≤ ∆p (V, Z). In particular, rl (A + Z) ≥ rl (D) max{0, 1 − ∆p (V, Z)}.

12. Relatively Compact Perturbations of Normal Operators

The present chapter is devoted to linear operators of the type A = D + W+ + W− , where D is a normal invertible operator and D−1 W± are Volterra (compact quasinilpotent) operators. Numerous differential and integro-differential operators are examples of such operators. We derive estimates for the resolvents and bounds for the spectra.

12.1

Invertibility Conditions

Let H be a separable Hilbert space. In the present chapter we consider a linear operator A in H of the type A = D + W+ + W− ,

(1.1)

where D is a normal bounded invertible, generally unbounded operator and W± are linear operators, such that H ⊇ Dom (W± ) ⊃ Dom (D) = Dom (A). Let P (t) (−∞ ≤ t ≤ ∞) be a maximal resolution of the identity (m.r.i.) (see Section 7.2). It is assumed that P (t)W+ P (t)h = W+ P (t)h (h ∈ Dom (W+ ); t ∈ R),

(1.2a)

P (t)W− P (t)h = P (t)W− h (h ∈ Dom (W− ); t ∈ R)

and P (t)Dh = DP (t)h (h ∈ Dom (D); t ∈ R).

(1.2c)

Again we use a normed ideal Y of linear compact operators in H with a norm |.|Y and having the property: any Volterra operator V ∈ Y satisfies the inequalities
V k
≤ θk |V |kY (k = 1, 2, ...) where constants θk are independent √ k of V and θk → 0 (k → ∞). It is assumed that V± ≡ D−1 W± are Volterra operators from ideal Y . That is,
V±k
≡
(D−1 W± )k
≤ θk |V± |kY (k = 1, 2, ...).

Recall that ni (V ) means the nilpotency index of a quasinilpotent operator V (see Definition 7.5.2). Put ni(V± )−1

Then operator A represented by (1.1) is boundedly invertible. Moreover, the inverse operator satisfies the inequality

(1.6)

or

Lemma 12.2.1 Under conditions (1.2), the operator (D − λI)−1 W± is quasinilpotent for any λ ∈ σ(D). Proof:

Condition (1.2a) implies P (t)V+ P (t) = P (t)D−1 W+ P (t) = D−1 P (t)W+ P (t) = D−1 W+ P (t) = V+ P (t)

and

(I − D−1 λ)−1 P (t) = P (t)(I − D−1 λ)−1 (t ∈ (−∞, ∞)).

Thus, due to Lemma 7.3.3, the operator (I − D−1 λ)−1 V+ is a Volterra one. But (I − D−1 λ)−1 V+ = (D − λI)−1 W+ . Similarly, we can prove that (D − λI)−1 W− is a Volterra operator. 2 Put ν± (λ) ≡ ni((D − λI)−1 W± ) = ni((I − λD−1 )−1 V± ) and w(λ, D) ≡ inf | t∈σ(D)

λ − 1|. t

Now we are in a position to formulate the main result of the chapter Theorem 12.2.2 Under conditions (1.2) and (1.3), for a λ ∈ σ(D), let ζ(A, λ) ≡ max {

(2.2)

Then λ is a regular point of operator A represented by (1.1). Moreover,
Rλ (A)
≤ Proof: holds:

1 . ζ(A, λ)ρl (D)

(2.3)

Condition (1.5) means that at least one of the following inequalities JY (V− , ν− (λ), w(λ, D))

or JY (V+ , ν+ (λ), w(λ, D))
V−

12. Relatively Compact Perturbations

If (2.4) holds, then replacing in Lemma 11.4.1 operator A by D + W− and operator Z by W+ we get the regularity of λ and estimate

Or

Exchanging V+ and V− , we get

≤

1 . ρl (D)(JY−1 (V− , ν− (λ), w(λ, D)) −

These inequalities yield the required result. 2

In the sequel one can replace ν˜0 by ∞. Theorem 12.3.1 Under conditions (1.1), (1.2), let V˜ ∈ Y and
V˜ k

(3.3)

τ (A)JY (V˜ , ν˜0 , z) = 1

(3.4)

Then the equation has a unique positive root zY (A). Moreover, rsvD (A) ≤ zY (A). Proof:

(3.5)

Due to Theorem 12.2.2, τ (A)JY (V˜ , ν˜0 , w(D, µ)) ≥ 1

for any µ ∈ σ(A). Comparing this inequality with (3.4), we have w(D, µ) ≤ zY (A). This inequality proves the theorem. 2 Theorem 12.3.1 and Lemma 8.3.1 give us the following result

Due to (3.3), for all µ ∈ σ(A), there is µ0 ∈ σ(D), such that 1 ≤ |µµ−1 0 | + ∆Y (A). Thus |µ| ≥ |µ0 |(1 − ∆Y (A)). Now the previous corollary yields Corollary 12.3.3 Let conditions (1.1), (1.2) and (3.3) hold. Then rl (A) ≥ rl (D) max{0, 1 − ∆Y (A)}. Remark 12.3.4 Everywhere below

In this section it is assumed that V± = D−1 W± are quasinilpotent operators belonging to the Neumann-Schatten ideal C2p with some integer p ≥ 1. That is, (4.1) N2p (V± ) ≡ [T race (V±∗ V± )p ]1/2p < ∞. Put

Then operator A represented by (1.1) is boundedly invertible. Moreover,

Indeed, taking into account Lemma 11.6.2 and repeating the arguments of the proof of the previous lemma, we arrive at the required result.

Let τ (A) and V˜ be defined by (3.1) and (3.2), respectively. Theorem 12.3.1 and Corollary 12.4.4 yield Lemma 12.4.5 Under the conditions (1.1), (1.2) and V˜ ∈ C2p ,

(4.10) −1/2p ˜ if N2p (V˜ ) > τ (A)pe [ln (N2p (V )/pτ (A))] Now the previous lemma yields Corollary 12.4.6 Under conditions (1.1), (1.2) and (4.7), we have rsvD (A) ≤ φp (A). In particular, rl (A) ≥ rl (D) max{0, 1 − φp (A)}.

13. Infinite Matrices in Hilbert Spaces and Differential Operators The present chapter is concerned with applications of some results from Chapters 7-12 to integro-differential and differential operators, as well as to infinite matrices in a Hilbert space. In particular, we suggest estimates for the spectral radius of an infinite matrix.

13.1 13.1.1

Matrices with Compact off Diagonals Upper bounds for the spectrum

Let {ek }∞ k=1 be an orthogonal normal basis in a separable Hilbert space H. Let A be a linear operator in H represented by a matrix with the entries ajk = (Aek , ej ) (j, k = 1, 2, ...),

(1.1)

where (., .) is the scalar product in H. Then A = D + V + + V− ,

(1.2)

where V− , V+ and D are the upper triangular, lower triangular, and diagonal parts of A, respectively: (V+ ek , ej ) = ajk for j < k, (V+ ek , ej ) = 0 for all j > k; (V− ek , ej ) = ajk for j > k, (V− ek , ej ) = 0 for all j < k; (Dek , ek ) = akk , (Dek , ej ) = 0 for j = k (j, k = 1, 2, ...).

Let {Pk }∞ k=1 be a maximal orthogonal resolution of the identity, where Pk are defined by k

Simple calculations show that Pk V+ Pk = V+ Pk , Pk V− Pk = Pk V−

(1.5)

Pk Dh = Pk Dh (h ∈ Dom (D)) (k = 1, 2, ...).

and In addition, Dom (D) = {h = (hk ) ∈ H :

That is, V+ , V− are Hilbert-Schmidt matrices, but the results of Chapters 8 and 9 allow us to investigate considerably more general conditions than (1.7). Without any loss of generality, assume that N2 (V− ) ≤ N2 (V+ ).

(1.8)

The case N2 (V− ) ≥ N2 (V+ ) can be considered absolutely similarly. Put  eN2 (V− ) if N2 (V+ ) ≤ eN2 (V− ), ˜ φ1 = . N2 (V+ )[ln (N2 (V+ )/N2 (V− ))]−1/2 if N2 (V+ ) > eN2 (V− ) (1.9) Due to Corollary 9.4.3 and Remark 9.4.4 we get Lemma 13.1.1 Under conditions (1.7), the spectrum of operator A = (ajk )∞ j,k is included in the set {z ∈ C : |akk − z| ≤ φ˜1 , k = 1, 2, ..., }.

(1.10)

In particular, the spectral radius of A satisfies the inequality rs (A) ≤ sup |akk | + φ˜1 , k

(1.11)

provided D is bounded:
D
≡ supk |akk | < ∞. In addition, α(A) := sup Re σ(A) ≤ sup Re akk + φ˜1 , provided sup Re akk < ∞. So the considered matrix operator is stable (that is, its spectrum is in the open left half plane), if Re akk + φ˜1 < 0 (k = 1, 2, ....).

Due to Corollary 9.8.2, we get Lemma 13.1.2 Under conditions (1.7), (1.12), for the matrix A = (ajk )∞ j,k , the following relations are true: ˜ H (A)}, rs (A) ≥ max{0, sup |akk | − ∆ k

Consider a scalar integral operator A defined in H = L2 [0, 1] by  1 K(x, s)u(s)ds (u ∈ L2 [0, 1]; x ∈ [0, 1]), (Au)(x) = a(x)u(x) +

Then, the conditions (1.1) and (1.2) from Section 9.1 are valid with  1 (Du)(x) = a(x)u(x), (V+ u)(x) = K(x, s)u(s)ds, x

Without any loss of generality, assume that N2 (V− ) ≤ N2 (V+ ).

(1.2)

The case N2 (V− ) ≥ N2 (V+ ) can be similarly considered. So according to relations (4.1) and (4.2) from Section 9.4, we have τ (A) ≤ N2 (V− ) and V˜ = V+ . Put  eN2 (V− ) if N2 (V+ ) ≤ eN2 (V− ) . φ˜1 = N2 (V+ )[ln (N2 (V+ )/ N2 (V− )) ]−1/2 if N2 (V+ ) > eN2 (V− ) (1.3) Due to Corollary 9.4.3 and Remark 9.4.4, the spectrum of operator A is included in the set {z ∈ C : |a(x) − z| ≤ φ˜1 , 0 ≤ x ≤ 1}. Hence, the spectral radius of A satisfies the inequality rs (A) ≤ sup |a(x)| + φ˜1 . x∈[0,1]

In particular, if a(x) ≡ 0, then rs (A) ≤ φ˜1 (A).

(1.4)

Let us derive the lower estimates for the spectrum. Clearly,  1 1 N22 (AI ) ≡ N22 ((A − A∗ )/2i) = |K(x, s) − K(s, x)|2 ds dx/4. 0

Due to Corollary 9.8.2, for the integral operator defined by (1.1), the following relations are true: ˜ H }, rs (A) ≥ max{0, sup |a(x)| − ∆ x∈[0,1]

Let ω ⊆ Rm be a set with a finite Lebesgue measure, and H ≡ L2 (ω, Cn ) be a Hilbert space of functions defined on ω with values in Cn and equipped with the scalar product  (f, h)H = (f (s), h(s))C n ds, ω

and D = diag [A11 , A22 , ..., Ann ]. Recall that, for a linear operator A, Dom (A) means the domain, σ(A) is the spectrum, λk (A) (k = 1, 2, ...) are the eigenvalues with their multiplicities, ρ(A, λ) is the distance between the spectrum of A and a λ ∈ C. Theorem 15.1.1 Let the diagonal operator D be invertible and the operators VA ≡ D−1 V, WA ≡ D−1 W be bounded .

In addition, let the condition

hold. Then operator A defined by (1.1) is invertible. Proof:

We have

A = D + V + W = D(I + VA + WA ) = D[(I + VA )(I + WA ) − VA WA ]. Simple calculations show that VAn = WAn = 0.

(1.5)

So VA and WA are nilpotent operators and, consequently, the operators, I + VA and I + WA are invertible. Thus, A = D(I + VA )[I − (I + VA )−1 VA WA (I + WA )−1 ](I + WA ). Therefore, the condition
(I + VA )−1 VA WA (I + WA )−1

Hence, the required result follows. 2 Corollary 15.1.2 Let operator matrix A defined by (1.1) be an upper triangular one (W=0), D an invertible operator and D−1 V a bounded one. Then A is invertible. Similarly, let operator matrix A be a lower triangular one (V=0) and D−1 W a bounded operator. Then A is invertible.

15.2. Bounds for the Spectrum

Corollary 15.2.2 Let operator matrix (1.1) be an upper triangular one, and V˜ (λ) be bounded for all regular λ of D. Then σ(A) = ∪nk=1 σ(Akk ) = σ(D).

(2.3)

˜ (λ) be bounded for all regular Similarly, let (1.1) be lower triangular and W λ of D. Then (2.3) holds. ˜ (λ) = 0. Now the result is due to Indeed, let A be upper triangular. Then W Theorem 15.2.1. The lower triangular case can be similarly considered. This result shows that Theorem 15.2.1 is exact. Lemma 15.2.3 Let W and V be bounded operators and the condition

Now Theorem 15.1.1 implies the required result. 2 Thanks to Theorem 15.1.1, we also get the following result. Lemma 15.5.2 Under conditions (4.1) and (5.1) the spectrum of operator A defined by (1.1), lies in the set ∪nj=1 Ωj (λ), where Ωj (λ) = {λ ∈ C :

Now Lemma 15.2.3 yields Theorem 15.5.3 Let x0 be the extreme right (unique positive) root of equation (5.6). Then the spectral variation of operator A defined by (1.1) with respect to D satisfies the inequality svD (A) ≤ x−1 0 .

Let H = L2 ([0, π], Cn ) be the Hilbert space of functions defined on [0, π] with values in a Euclidean space Cn and the scalar product  π (h(x), w(x))C n dx, (h, w)H = 0

where (., .)C n is the scalar product in Cn . Consider the operator A defined by the expression Au(x) = −

with continuous real n × n-matrices d0 (x) = diag [a1 (x), ..., an (x)], B0 (x) = (bjk (x))nj,k=1 , where functions aj (x) are differentiable and positive: d˜j ≡ min aj (x) > 0. x

Take E = L2 ([0, π], C1 ) and define operators Ajk by Ajj v(x) = −

Omitting simple calculations, we have (Ajj v(x), v)E = (aj v  , v  )E + (bjj v, v)E ≥ d˜j (v  , v  )E + (bjj v, v)E ≥ d˜j (v, v)E + (bjj v, v)E = βj (v, v)E . Consequently, −1

In the case n = 2 one can write v˜A = β1−1 max |b12 (x)|, w ˜A = β2−1 max |b21 (x)|. x

To investigate the spectrum of operator (6.1) assume for simplicity that aj ≡ const > 0, bjj ≡ const (j = 1, 2, ...).

In other words for any µ ∈ σ(A), there are natural k = 1, 2, ... and j ≤ n, such that |µ − aj k 2 − bjj | ≤ z2 . In particular, if n = 2, then √ z2 = vb wb = [max |b12 (x)| max |b21 (x)|]1/2 . x

Certainly, instead of the ordinary differential operator, in (6.1) we can consider an elliptic one.

Notes

The spectrum of operator matrices and related problems were investigated in many works cf. (Kovarik, 1975, 1977 and 1980), (Kovarik and Sherif, 1985), (Gaur and Kovarik, 1991), (Stampli, 1964), (Davis, 1958) and references given therein. In particular, in the paper (Kovarik, 1975), the Gershgorin type bounds for spectra of operator matrices with bounded operator entries are derived. They generalize the well-known results for block-matrices (Varga, 1965), (Levinger and Varga, 1966). But the Gershgorin-type bounds give good results in the cases when the diagonal operators are dominant. Theorem 15.1.1 improves the Gershgorin type bounds for operator matrices, which are close to triangular ones. Moreover, we also consider unbounded operators. Proposition 15.6.2 on the bounds for the spectrum of a matrix differential operator supplements the well known results on differential operators, cf. (Edmunds and Evans, 1990), (Egorov and Kondratiev, 1996) and references therein. The material in this chapter is taken from the paper (Gil’, 2001).

16. Hille - Tamarkin Integral Operators

In the present chapter, the Hille-Tamarkin integral operators on space Lp [0, 1] are considered. Invertibility conditions, estimates for the norm of the inverse operators and positive invertibility conditions are established. In addition, bounds for the spectral radius are suggested. Applications to nonselfadjoint differential operators and integro-differential ones are also discussed.

16. Hille - Tamarkin Integral Operators

Proof:

We have A = I + V + W = (I + V )(I + W ) − V W.

(2.3)

Since W and V are quasinilpotent, the operators, I + V and I + W are invertible: (I + V )−1 =

Thus, A = I + V + W = (I + V )[I − (I + V )−1 V W (I + W )−1 ](I + W ) =

where

(I + V )(I − BA )(I + W )

If (2.2) holds, then

(I − BA )−1
≤ (1 − θA )−1 . So due to (2.5) I + V + W is invertible. Moreover, A−1 = (I + W )−1 (I − BA )−1 (I + V )−1 .

(2.9)

But (2.4) implies
(I + W )−1
≤ j(W ),
(I + V )−1
≤ j(V ). Now the required inequality for A−1 follows from (2.9). 2 Furthermore, take into account that by (2.7)

Thus θA ≤ (j(W ) − 1)(j(V ) − 1). So condition (2.2) is provided by the inequality (j(W ) − 1)(j(V ) − 1) < 1. The latter inequality is equivalent to the following one: j(W )j(V ) < j(W ) + j(V )

(2.12)

Lemma 16.2.1 yields Corollary 16.2.2 Let V, W be quasinilpotent and condition (2.12) be fulfilled. Then operator A defined by (2.1) is boundedly invertible and the inverse operator satisfies the inequality

Corollary 16.2.3 Let the conditions (1.2) and j(V+ )j(V− ) < j(V+ ) + j(V− ) ˜ is boundedly invertible and the inverse operator be fulfilled. Then I − K satisfies the inequality ˜ −1 |Lp ≤ |(I − K)

Set Jp± (z) ≡

z k Mpk (V± ) √ (z ≥ 0). p k! k=0

So Jp± = Jp± (1). Clearly, ˜ (λ = 0). ˜ = λ(I − λ−1 K) λI − K Consequently, if Jp+ (|λ|−1 )Jp− (|λ|−1 ) < Jp+ (|λ|−1 ) + Jp− (|λ|−1 ), ˜ is boundedly invertible. We thus get then due to Theorem 16.1.1, λI − K Lemma 16.4.1 Under condition (1.2), any point λ = 0 of the spectrum ˜ of operator K ˜ satisfies the inequality σ(K) Jp+ (|λ|−1 )Jp− (|λ|−1 ) ≥ Jp+ (|λ|−1 ) + Jp− (|λ|−1 ).

˜ = sup |σ(K)| ˜ be the spectral radius of K. ˜ Then (4.1) yields Let rs (K) ˜ p− (rs−1 (K)) ˜ ≥ Jp+ (rs−1 (K)) ˜ + Jp− (rs−1 (K)). ˜ Jp+ (rs−1 (K))J

Theorem 16.4.2 Under condition (1.2), let V− = 0 and V+ = 0. Then the equation (4.3) Jp+ (z)Jp− (z) = Jp+ (z) + Jp− (z) ˜ ≤ z −1 (K) has a unique positive zero z(K). Moreover, the inequality rs (K) is valid. Proof:

Equation (4.3) is equivalent to the following one: (Jp+ (z) − 1)(Jp− (z) − 1) = 1.

(4.4)

Clearly, this equation has a unique positive root. In addition, (4.2) is equivalent to the relation ˜ − 1)(Jp− (rs−1 (K)) ˜ − 1) ≥ 1. (Jp+ (rs−1 (K)) Hence the result follows, since the left part of equation (4.4) monotonically increases. 2 Rewrite (4.4) as ∞ ∞

we get z(K) ≥ δ −1 (K). Now Theorem 16.4.2 yields ˜ ≤ δ(K) is Corollary 16.4.3 Under condition (1.2), the inequality rs (K) true. Theorem 16.4.2 and Corollary 16.4.3 are exact: if either V− → 0, or V+ → 0, then z(K) → ∞, δ(K) → 0.

BK = (I − V+ )−1 V+ V− (I − V− )−1 .

Moreover, by (5.1) we have V± ≥ 0. So due to (2.4), (I − V± )−1 ≥ 0 and BK ≥ 0. Relations (2.7) and (2.8) according to (2.10) and (2.11) imply |BK |Lp ≤ (Jp (V− ) − 1)(Jp (V+ ) − 1), since j(V± ) ≤ Jp (V± ). But (1.5) is equivalent to (1.7). We thus get |BK |Lp < 1. Consequently, ∞

(Krasnosel’skii et al, 1989, Theorem 16.2) for operators, which are close to Volterra ones. The results of Section 16.6 supplement the well-known results on the spectra of differential operators, cf. (Edmunds and Evans, 1990), (Egorov and Kondratiev, 1996), (Locker, 1999) and references therein. The material in this chapter is taken from the paper (Gil’, 2002).

17. Integral Operators in Space L∞

In the present chapter integral operators in space L∞ [0, 1] are considered. Invertibility conditions, estimates for the norm of the inverse operators and positive invertibility conditions are established. In addition, bounds for the spectral radius are suggested. Applications to nonselfadjoint differential operators and integro-differential ones are also discussed.

17.1

Invertibility Conditions

Recall that L∞ ≡ L∞ [0, 1] is the space of scalar-valued functions defined on [0, 1] and equipped with the norm |h|L∞ = ess sup |h(x)| (h ∈ L∞ ). x∈[0,1]

Now we are in a position to formulate the main result of the chapter. Theorem 17.1.1 Let the conditions (1.2) and eM∞ (V− )+M∞ (V+ ) < eM∞ (V+ ) + eM∞ (V− )

(1.6)

The proof of this theorem is presented in the next section. Note that condition (1.5) is equivalent to the following one: θ(K) ≡ (eM∞ (V+ ) − 1)(eM∞ (V− ) − 1) < 1.

Proof of Theorem 17.1.1

Under condition (1.2), operators V± are quasinilpotent due to the well-known Theorem V.6.2 (Zabreiko, et al., 1968, p. 153). Now Corollary 16.2.2 yields. Lemma 17.2.1 With the notation j(V± ) ≡

Lemma 17.2.2 Under condition (1.2), operator V− defined by (1.3) satisfies the inequality M k (V− ) (k = 1, 2, ...). (2.1) |V−k |L∞ ≤ ∞ k! Proof:

Similarly, the inequality |V+k |L∞ ≤

(2.3)

can be proved. Relations (2.1) and (2.3) imply |(I − V± )−1 |L∞ ≤ j(V± ) ≤ eM∞ (V± ) .

(2.4)

The assertion of Theorem 17.1.1 follows from Lemma 17.2.1 and relations (2.4).

17.3

The Spectral Radius

Clearly,

(3.3)

˜ ≤ z −1 (K) has a unique positive zero z(K). Moreover, the inequality rs (K) is valid. Proof:

Equation (3.3) is equivalent to the following one: (eM∞ (V+ )z − 1)(ezM∞ (V− ) − 1) = 1.

In addition, (3.2) is equivalent to the relation −1

(3.4)

17.4. Nonnegative Invertibility

231

Hence, the result follows, since the left part of equation (3.4) monotonically increases. 2 From (3.3) it follows that e(M∞ (V− )+M∞ (V+ ))z ≥ 2 and

ez(M∞ (V+ )−M∞ (V− )) = eM∞ (V+ )z − 1 ≥ exp [ln 2 M∞ (V+ )(M∞ (V− ) + M∞ (V+ ))−1 ] − 1.

Thus with the notation δ∞ (K) = we have

(3.5)

(3.6)

M∞ (V+ ) < M∞ (V− ).

(3.7)

provided Clearly, in (3.5) we can exchang the places of V− and V+ . Now Theorem 17.3.2 yields ˜ ≤ Corollary 17.3.3 Under conditions (1.2) and (3.7), the inequality rs (K) δ∞ (K) is true.

17.4

Nonnegative Invertibility

We will say that h ∈ L∞ is nonnegative if h(t) is nonnegative for almost all t ∈ [0, 1]; a linear operator A in L∞ is nonnegative if Ah is nonnegative for each nonnegative h ∈ L∞ . Recall that I is the identity operator. Theorem 17.4.1 Let the conditions (1.2), (1.5) and K(t, s) ≥ 0 (0 ≤ t, s ≤ 1)

(4.1)

˜ is boundedly invertible and the inverse operator hold. Then operator I − K is nonnegative. Moreover, ˜ −1 ≥ I. (I − K)

(4.2)

˜ W = V− and Proof: Relation (2.9) from Section 16.2 with A = I − K, V = V+ implies ˜ −1 = (I − V+ )−1 (I − BK )−1 (I − V− )−1 (I − K)

(4.3)

17. Integral Operators in L∞

232

where

BK = (I − V+ )−1 V+ V− (I − V− )−1 .

Moreover, by (4.1) we have V± ≥ 0. So (I − V± )−1 ≥ 0 and BK ≥ 0. Relations (2.4) give us the inequalities |(I − V± )−1 V± |L∞ ≤ eM∞ (V± ) − 1. Consequently, |BK |L∞ ≤ (eM∞ (V+ ) − 1)(eM∞ (V− ) − 1). But (1.5) is equivalent to (1.7). We thus get |BK |L∞ < 1. Consequently, (I − BK )−1 =

Proof of Theorem 18.1.1

Lemma 18.2.1 Under condition (1.2), for the strictly upper and lower triangular matrices V+ and V− , the inequalities (vp± )m |V±m |lp ≤ √ (m = 1, 2, ...) p m! are valid, where

∞ ∞

vp+ = ( [ |ajk |q ]p/q )1/p j=1 k=j+1

and

j−1 ∞

vp− = ( [ |ajk |q ]p/q )1/p . j=2 k=1

This result follows from Lemma 3.2.1 when n → ∞, since 1 . γn,m,p ≤ √ p m! So operators V± are quasinilpotent. The latter lemma yields Corollary 18.2.2 Under conditions (1.2), (1.3), the inequalities |(D−1 V± )m |lp ≤

(Mp± (A))m √ (m = 1, 2, ...) p m!

are valid. Proof of Theorem 18.1.1: We have A = V+ + V− + D = D(D−1 V+ + D−1 V− + I) Clearly,

|D−1 |lp = d−1 0 .

From Lemma 18.2.2, it follows that j(D−1 V± ) ≤ Jp± (A) Now Corollary 16.2.2 and condition (1.4) yield the invertibility of the operator D−1 V+ + D−1 V− + I and the estimate (1.5). 2

(3.1)

Assume that Jp− (A, µ)Jp+ (A, µ) < Jp+ (A, µ) + Jp− (A, µ)

for some µ ∈ σ(A). Then due to Theorem 18.1.1, A − µI is invertible. This contradiction proves the required result. 2 Recall that vp± are defined in Section 18.2 and denote, Fp± (z) =

∞
(vp± )k √ (z > 0) z k p k! k=0

(3.2)

Lemma 18.3.2 Under condition (1.2), for any µ ∈ σ(A), either there is an integer m, such that, µ = amm , or Fp− (ρ(D, µ))Fp+ (ρ(D, µ)) ≥ Fp− (ρ(D, µ)) + Fp+ (ρ(D, µ)). Proof:

(3.3)

Let µ = akk for all natural k. Then Mp± (A, µ) ≤ ρ−1 (D, µ)vp± .

Hence,

Jp± (A, µ) ≤ Fp± (ρ(D, µ)).

In addition, (3.1) is equivalent to the relation (Jp− (A, µ) − 1)(Jp+ (A, µ) − 1) ≥ 1. Now (3.4) implies (3.3). 2 Theorem 18.3.3 Under condition (1.2), let V+ = 0, V− = 0. Then the equation (3.5) Fp− (z)Fp+ (z) = Fp− (z) + Fp+ (z) has a unique positive root ζ(A). Moreover, ρ(D, µ) ≤ ζ(A) for any µ ∈ σ(A). In other words, σ(A) lies in the closure of the union of the discs {λ ∈ C : |λ − akk | ≤ ζ(A)} (k = 1, 2, ...). Proof:

Equation (3.5) is equivalent to the following one: (Fp− (z) − 1)(Fp+ (z) − 1) = 1.

(3.6)

The left part of this equation monotonically decreases as z > 0 increases; so it has a unique positive root ζ(A). In addition, (3.3) is equivalent to the relation (3.7) (Fp− (ρ(D, µ)) − 1)(Fp+ (ρ(D, µ)) − 1) ≥ 1. Hence the result follows. 2 Rewrite (3.5) as

we get ζ(A) ≤ δp (A). Now Theorem 18.3.3 yields Corollary 18.3.4 Under condition (1.2), let V+ = 0, V− = 0. Then for any µ ∈ σ(A), the inequality ρ(µ, D) ≤ δ(A) is true. In other words, σ(A) lies in the closure of the union of the sets {λ ∈ C : |λ − akk | ≤ δp (A)} (k = 1, 2, ...).

Note that Theorem 18.3.3 is exact: if A is triangular: either V− = 0, or V+ = 0, then we due to that lemma σ(A) is the closure of the set {akk , k = 1, 2, ...}. Moreover, Theorem 18.3.3 and Corollary 18.3.4 imply rs (A) ≤

Theorem 19.1.2 Let conditions (1.1) and (1.2) be fulfilled. In addition, let r(q, f ) be the unique positive (simple) root of the equation qψ(f, y) = 1. Then zvf (h) ≤ r(q, f ). That is, for any zero z(h) of h there is a zero z(f ) of f , such that |z(h) − z(f )| ≤ r(q, f )|z(h)z(f )|. (1.5) The proof of Theorem 19.1.2 is presented in the next section. Substitute in (1.5) the equality y = xwp (f ) and apply Lemma 8.3.2. Then we have r(q, f ) ≤ δ(q, f ), where

 δ(q, f ) :=

epq wp (f ) [ln (wp (f )/qp)]−1/2p

(1.6)

if wp (f ) ≤ epq, . if wp (f ) > epq

Theorem 19.1.2 and inequality (1.6) yield Corollary 19.1.3 Let conditions (1.1) and (1.2) be fulfilled. Then zvf (h) ≤ δ(q, f ). That is, for any zero z(h) of h, there is a zero z(f ) of f , such that |z(h) − z(f )| ≤ δ(q, f )|z(h)z(f )|.

(1.7)

Relations (1.5) and (1.7) imply the inequalities |z(f )| − |z(h)| ≤ r(q, f )|z(h)||z(f )| ≤ δ(q, f )|z(h)||z(f )|. Hence, |z(h)| ≥ (r(q, f )|z(f )| + 1)−1 |z(f )| ≥ (δ(q, f )|z(f )| + 1)−1 |z(f )|. This inequality yields the following result Corollary 19.1.4 Under conditions (1.1) and (1.2), for a positive number R0 , let f have no zeros in the disc {z ∈ C : |z| ≤ R0 }. Then h has no zeros in the disc {z ∈ C : |z| ≤ R1 } with R1 =

Lemma 19.2.1 For any zero z(Q) of Q, there is a zero z(F ) of F , such that |z(F ) − z(Q)| ≤ r(Q, F ), where r(Q, F ) be the unique positive (simple) root of the equation q(F, Q)ψ(F, y) = 1.

It is simple to see that F (λ) = det (λI − An ) and Q(λ) = det (λI − Bn ), where I is the unit matrix. So λk (An ) = zk (F ), λk (Bn ) = zk (Q) (k = 1, 2, ..., n),

(2.3)

where λk (.), k = 1, ..., n are the eigenvalues with their multiplicities. Clearly,
An − Bn

Consequently yp (An , Bn ) ≤ r(Q, F ). Therefore (2.3) and (2.4) imply (2.2), as claimed. 2 Proof of Theorem 19.1.2: Consider the polynomials fn (λ) =

Take into account that the roots continuously depend on coefficients, we have the required result, letting in the previous lemma n → ∞. 2

Notes

The variation of the zeros of general analytic functions under perturbations was investigated, in particular, by P. Rosenbloom (1969). He established the perturbation result that provides the existence of a zero of a perturbed function in a given domain. In the present chapter a new approach to the problem is proposed. The material in the present chapter is taken from the papers (Gil’, 2000a, 2000b, 2000c and 2001). Corollary 19.4.2 supplements the classical Hadamard theorem (Levin, 1996, p. 18), since it not only asserts the convergence of the series of the zeros, but also gives us the estimate for the sums of the zeros.
