In this note, we mainly study operator-theoretic properties on the Besov space $B_{1}$ on the unit disk. This space is the minimal Möbius-invariant space. First, we consider the boundedness of Volterra-type operators. Second, we prove that Volterra-type operators belong to the Deddens algebra of a composition operator. Third, we obtain estimates for the essential norm of Volterra-type operators. Finally, we give a complete characterization of the spectrum of Volterra-type operators.

The classical Loewner’s theorem states that operator monotone functions on real intervals are described by holomorphic functions on the upper half-plane. We characterize local order isomorphisms on operator domains by biholomorphic automorphisms of the generalized upper half-plane, which is the collection of all operators with positive invertible imaginary part. We describe such maps in an explicit manner, and examine properties of maximal local order isomorphisms. Moreover, in the finite-dimensional case, we prove that every order embedding of a matrix domain is a homeomorphic order isomorphism onto another matrix domain.

Any Lipschitz map $f : M \to N$ between two pointed metric spaces may be extended in a unique way to a bounded linear operator $\widehat {f} : \mathcal {F}(M) \to \mathcal {F}(N)$ between their corresponding Lipschitz-free spaces. In this paper, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for $\widehat {f}$ to be compact in terms of metric conditions on $f$. This extends a result by A. Jiménez-Vargas and M. Villegas-Vallecillos in the case of non-separable and unbounded metric spaces. After studying the behaviour of weakly convergent sequences made of finitely supported elements in Lipschitz-free spaces, we also deduce that $\widehat {f}$ is compact if and only if it is weakly compact.

We study the boundedness and compactness of weighted composition operators acting on weighted Bergman spaces and weighted Dirichlet spaces by using the corresponding Carleson measures. We give an estimate for the norm and the essential norm of weighted composition operators between weighted Bergman spaces as well as the composition operators between weighted Hilbert spaces.

Given a holomorphic self-map $\varphi $ of $\mathbb {D}$ (the open unit disc in $\mathbb {C}$), the composition operator $C_{\varphi } f = f \circ \varphi $, $f \in H^2(\mathbb {\mathbb {D}})$, defines a bounded linear operator on the Hardy space $H^2(\mathbb {\mathbb {D}})$. The model spaces are the backward shift-invariant closed subspaces of $H^2(\mathbb {\mathbb {D}})$, which are canonically associated with inner functions. In this paper, we study model spaces that are invariant under composition operators. Emphasis is put on finite-dimensional model spaces, affine transformations, and linear fractional transformations.

Let u and $\varphi $ be two analytic functions on the unit disk D such that $\varphi (D) \subset D$. A weighted composition operator $uC_{\varphi }$ induced by u and $\varphi $ is defined on $A^2_{\alpha }$, the weighted Bergman space of D, by $uC_{\varphi }f := u \cdot f \circ \varphi $ for every $f \in A^2_{\alpha }$. We obtain sufficient conditions for the compactness of $uC_{\varphi }$ in terms of function-theoretic properties of u and $\varphi $. We also characterize when $uC_{\varphi }$ on $A^2_{\alpha }$ is Hilbert–Schmidt. In particular, the characterization is independent of $\alpha $ when $\varphi $ is an automorphism of D. Furthermore, we investigate the Hilbert–Schmidt difference of two weighted composition operators on $A^2_{\alpha }$.

Li et al. [A spectral radius type formula for approximation numbers of composition operators, J. Funct. Anal. 267(12) (2014), 4753-4774] proved a spectral radius type formula for the approximation numbers of composition operators on analytic Hilbert spaces with radial weights and on $H^{p}$ spaces, $p\geq 1$, involving Green capacity. We prove that their formula holds for a wide class of Banach spaces of analytic functions and weights.

We study the isomorphic structure of $(\sum {\ell }_{q})_{c_{0}}\ (1< q<\infty )$ and prove that these spaces are complementably homogeneous. We also show that for any operator T from $(\sum {\ell }_{q})_{c_{0}}$ into ${\ell }_{q}$, there is a subspace X of $(\sum {\ell }_{q})_{c_{0}}$ that is isometric to $(\sum {\ell }_{q})_{c_{0}}$ and the restriction of T on X has small norm. If T is a bounded linear operator on $(\sum {\ell }_{q})_{c_{0}}$ which is $(\sum {\ell }_{q})_{c_{0}}$-strictly singular, then for any $\epsilon>0$, there is a subspace X of $(\sum {\ell }_{q})_{c_{0}}$ which is isometric to $(\sum {\ell }_{q})_{c_{0}}$ with $\|T|_{X}\|<\epsilon $. As an application, we show that the set of all $(\sum {\ell }_{q})_{c_{0}}$-strictly singular operators on $(\sum {\ell }_{q})_{c_{0}}$ forms the unique maximal ideal of $\mathcal {L}((\sum {\ell }_{q})_{c_{0}})$.

The paper deals with the sets of numbers from [0,1] such that their binary representation is almost convergent. The aim of the study is to compute the Hausdorff dimensions of such sets. Previously, the results of this type were proved for a single summation method (e.g. Cesàro, Abel, Toeplitz). This study extends the results to a wide range of matrix summation methods.

We investigate unbounded, linear operators arising from a finite sum of composition operators on Fock space. Real symmetry and complex symmetry of these operators are characterised.

The dynamics of the fragmentation equation with size diffusion is investigated when the size ranges in $(0,\infty)$. The associated linear operator involves three terms and can be seen as a nonlocal perturbation of a Schrödinger operator. A Miyadera perturbation argument is used to prove that it is the generator of a positive, analytic semigroup on a weighted $L_1$-space. Moreover, if the overall fragmentation rate does not vanish at infinity, then there is a unique stationary solution with given mass. Assuming further that the overall fragmentation rate diverges to infinity for large sizes implies the immediate compactness of the semigroup and that it eventually stabilizes at an exponential rate to a one-dimensional projection carrying the information of the mass of the initial value.

This paper obtains new characterizations of weighted Hardy spaces and certain weighted $BMO$ type spaces via the boundedness of variation operators associated with approximate identities and their commutators, respectively.

We show that any weakly separated Bessel system of model spaces in the Hardy space on the unit disc is a Riesz system and we highlight some applications to interpolating sequences of matrices. This will be done without using the recent solution of the Feichtinger conjecture, whose natural generalization to multidimensional model subspaces of ${\mathrm {H}}^2$ turns out to be false.

Let $\mathcal {X}$ be a Banach space over the complex field $\mathbb {C}$ and $\mathcal {B(X)}$ be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on $\mathcal {X}$. Let $\mathcal {N}$ be a nontrivial nest on $\mathcal {X}$, $\text {Alg}\mathcal {N}$ be the nest algebra associated with $\mathcal {N}$, and $L\colon \text {Alg}\mathcal {N}\longrightarrow \mathcal {B(X)}$ be a linear mapping. Suppose that $p_n(x_1,x_2,\ldots ,x_n)$ is an $(n-1)\,$th commutator defined by n indeterminates $x_1, x_2, \ldots , x_n$. It is shown that L satisfies the rule

$$ \begin{align*}L(p_n(A_1, A_2, \ldots, A_n))=\sum_{k=1}^{n}p_n(A_1, \ldots, A_{k-1}, L(A_k), A_{k+1}, \ldots, A_n) \end{align*} $$

for all $A_1, A_2, \ldots , A_n\in \text {Alg}\mathcal {N}$ if and only if there exist a linear derivation $D\colon \text {Alg}\mathcal {N}\longrightarrow \mathcal {B(X)}$ and a linear mapping $H\colon \text {Alg}\mathcal {N}\longrightarrow \mathbb {C}I$ vanishing on each $(n-1)\,$th commutator $p_n(A_1,A_2,\ldots , A_n)$ for all $A_1, A_2, \ldots , A_n\in \text {Alg}\mathcal {N}$ such that $L(A)=D(A)+H(A)$ for all $A\in \text {Alg}\mathcal {N}$. We also propose some related topics for future research.

Let $c_{kl} \in W^{1,\infty }(\Omega , \mathbb{C})$ for all $k,l \in \{1, \ldots , d\};$ and $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{d}$ be open with uniformly $C^{2}$ boundary. We consider the divergence form operator $A_p = - \sum \nolimits _{k,l=1}^{d} \partial _l (c_{kl} \partial _k)$ in $L_p(\Omega )$ when the coefficient matrix satisfies $(C(x) \xi , \xi ) \in \Sigma _\theta$ for all $x \in \Omega$ and $\xi \in \mathbb{C}^{d}$, where $\Sigma _\theta$ be the sector with vertex 0 and semi-angle $\theta$ in the complex plane. We show that a sectorial estimate holds for $A_p$ for all $p$ in a suitable range. We then apply these estimates to prove that the closure of $-A_p$ generates a holomorphic semigroup under further assumptions on the coefficients. The contractivity and consistency properties of these holomorphic semigroups are also considered.

In this paper, we characterize surjective isometries on certain classes of noncommutative spaces associated with semi-finite von Neumann algebras: the Lorentz spaces $L^{w,1}$, as well as the spaces $L^1+L^\infty$ and $L^1\cap L^\infty$. The technique used in all three cases relies on characterizations of the extreme points of the unit balls of these spaces. Of particular interest is that the representations of isometries obtained in this paper are global representations.

The notions of chaos and frequent hypercyclicity enjoy an intimate relationship in linear dynamics. Indeed, after a series of partial results, it was shown by Bayart and Ruzsa in 2015 that for backward weighted shifts on $\ell _p(\mathbb {Z})$, the notions of chaos and frequent hypercyclicity coincide. It is with some effort that one shows that these two notions are distinct. Bayart and Grivaux in 2007 constructed a non-chaotic frequently hypercyclic weighted shift on $c_0$. It was only in 2017 that Menet settled negatively whether every chaotic operator is frequently hypercylic. In this article, we show that for a large class of composition operators on $L^{p}$-spaces, the notions of chaos and frequent hypercyclicity coincide. Moreover, in this particular class, an invertible operator is frequently hypercyclic if and only if its inverse is frequently hypercyclic. This is in contrast to a very recent result of Menet where an invertible operator frequently hypercyclic on $\ell _1$ whose inverse is not frequently hypercyclic is constructed.

For a nondecreasing function $K: [0, \infty)\rightarrow [0, \infty)$ and $0<s<\infty $, we introduce a Morrey type space of functions analytic in the unit disk $\mathbb {D}$, denoted by $\mathcal {D}^s_K$. Some characterizations of $\mathcal {D}^s_K$ are obtained in terms of K-Carleson measures. A relationship between two spaces $\mathcal {D}^{s_1}_K$ and $\mathcal {D}^{s_2}_K$ is given by fractional order derivatives. As an extension of some known results, for a positive Borel measure $\mu $ on $\mathbb {D}$, we find sufficient or necessary condition for the embedding map $I: \mathcal {D}^{s}_{K}\mapsto \mathcal {T}^s_{K}(\mu)$ to be bounded.

Let $T = (T_1, \ldots , T_n)$ be a commuting tuple of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. The multiplicity of $T$ is the cardinality of a minimal generating set with respect to $T$. In this paper, we establish an additive formula for multiplicities of a class of commuting tuples of operators. A special case of the main result states the following: Let $n \geq 2$, and let $\mathcal{Q}_i$, $i = 1, \ldots , n$, be a proper closed shift co-invariant subspaces of the Dirichlet space or the Hardy space over the unit disc in $\mathbb {C}$. If $\mathcal{Q}_i^{\bot }$, $i = 1, \ldots , n$, is a zero-based shift invariant subspace, then the multiplicity of the joint $M_{\textbf {z}} = (M_{z_1}, \ldots , M_{z_n})$-invariant subspace $(\mathcal{Q}_1 \otimes \cdots \otimes \mathcal{Q}_n)^{\perp }$ of the Dirichlet space or the Hardy space over the unit polydisc in $\mathbb {C}^{n}$ is given by

\[ \mbox{mult}_{M_{\textbf{{z}}}|_{ (\mathcal{Q}_1 \otimes \cdots \otimes \mathcal{Q}_n)^{{\perp}}}} (\mathcal{Q}_1 \otimes \cdots \otimes \mathcal{Q}_n)^{{\perp}} = \sum_{i=1}^{n} (\mbox{mult}_{M_z|_{\mathcal{Q}_i^{{\perp}}}} (\mathcal{Q}_i^{\bot})) = n. \]
