Fine Spectra of Upper Triangular Double-Band Matrices over the Sequence Space ℓp, (1 < p < ∞)
Abstract
The operator on sequence space on ℓp is defined , where x = (xk) ∈ ℓp, and and are two convergent sequences of nonzero real numbers satisfying certain conditions, where (1 < p < ∞). The main purpose of this paper is to determine the fine spectrum with respect to the Goldberg′s classification of the operator defined by a double sequential band matrix over the sequence space ℓp. Additionally, we give the approximate point spectrum, defect spectrum, and compression spectrum of the matrix operator over the space ℓp.
1. Introduction
2. Subdivisions of the Spectrum
In this section, we give the definitions of the parts point spectrum, continuous spectrum, residual spectrum, approximate point spectrum, defect spectrum, and compression spectrum of the spectrum. There are many different ways to subdivide the spectrum of a bounded linear operator. Some of them are motivated by applications to physics, in particular, quantum mechanics.
2.1. The Point Spectrum, Continuous Spectrum, and Residual Spectrum
The name resolvent is appropriate, since helps to solve the equation Tλx = y. Thus, provided exists. More important, the investigation of properties of will be basic for an understanding of the operator T itself. Naturally, many properties of Tλ and depend on λ, and spectral theory is concerned with those properties. For instance, we will be interested in the set of all λ′s in the complex plane such that exists. Boundedness of is another property that will be essential. We will also ask for what λ′s the domain of is dense in X, to name just a few aspects. A regular value λ of T is a complex number such that exists and bounded and whose domain is dense in X. For our investigation of T, Tλ, and , we need some basic concepts in spectral theory, which are given as follows (see [1, pp. 370-371]).
The resolvent set ρ(T, X) of T is the set of all regular values λ of T. Furthermore, the spectrum σ(T, X) is partitioned into three disjoint sets as follows.
The point (discrete) spectrum σp(T, X) is the set such that does not exist. An λ ∈ σp(T, X) is called an eigenvalue of T.
The continuous spectrum σc(T, X) is the set such that exists and is unbounded and the domain of is dense in X.
The residual spectrum σr(T, X) is the set such that exists (and may be bounded or not), but the domain of is not dense in X.
2.2. The Approximate Point Spectrum, Defect Spectrum, and Compression Spectrum
In this subsection, following Appell et al. [2], we define the three more subdivisions of the spectrum called as the approximate point spectrum, defect spectrum, and compression spectrum.
Given a bounded linear operator T in a Banach space X, we call a sequence (xk) in X as a Weyl sequence for T if ∥xk∥ = 1 and ∥Txk∥ → 0, as k → ∞.
Sometimes it is useful to relate the spectrum of a bounded linear operator to that of its adjoint. Building on classical existence and uniqueness results for linear operator equations in Banach spaces and their adjoints is also useful.
Proposition 2.1 (see [2], Proposition 1.3, p. 28.)Spectra and subspectra of an operator T ∈ B(X) and its adjoint T* ∈ B(X*) are related by the following relations:
- (a)
σ(T*, X*) = σ(T, X),
- (b)
σc(T*, X*)⊆σap(T, X),
- (c)
σap(T*, X*) = σδ(T, X),
- (d)
σδ(T*, X*) = σap(T, X),
- (e)
σp(T*, X*) = σco (T, X),
- (f)
σco (T*, X*)⊇σp(T, X),
- (g)
σ(T, X) = σap(T, X) ∪ σp(T*, X*) = σp(T, X) ∪ σap(T*, X*).
The relations (c)–(f) show that the approximate point spectrum is in a certain sense dual to defect spectrum, and the point spectrum dual to the compression spectrum.
The equality (g) implies, in particular, that σ(T, X) = σap(T, X) if X is a Hilbert space and T is normal. Roughly speaking, this shows that normal (in particular, self-adjoint) operators on Hilbert spaces are most similar to matrices in finite-dimensional spaces (see [2]).
2.3. Goldberg′s Classification of Spectrum
- (A)
R(T) = X,
- (B)
,
- (C)
,
- (1)
T−1 exists and is continuous,
- (2)
T−1 exists but is discontinuous,
- (3)
T−1 does not exist.
If these possibilities are combined in all possible ways, nine different states are created. These are labelled by: A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3, C1, C2, C3. If an operator is in state C2, for example, then and T−1 exist but is discontinuous (see [3] and Figure 1).

If λ is a complex number such that Tλ = λI − T ∈ A1 or Tλ = λI − T ∈ B1, then λ ∈ ρ(T, X). All scalar values of λ not in ρ(T, X) comprise the spectrum of T. The further classification of σ(T, X) gives rise to the fine spectrum of T. That is, σ(T, X) can be divided into the subsets A2σ(T, X) = ∅, A3σ(T, X), B2σ(T, X), B3σ(T, X), C1σ(T, X), C2σ(T, X), and C3σ(T, X). For example, if Tλ = λI − T is in a given state, C2 (say), then we write λ ∈ C2σ(T, X).
By the definitions given above, we can illustrate the subdivisions (2.1) in Table 1.
1 | 2 | 3 | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
exists and is bounded | exists and is unbounded | does not exist | ||
A | R(λI − T) = X | λ ∈ ρ(T, X) | — | λ ∈ σp(T, X) |
λ ∈ σap(T, X) | ||||
λ ∈ σc(T, X) | λ ∈ σp(T, X) | |||
B | λ ∈ ρ(T, X) | λ ∈ σap(T, X) | λ ∈ σap(T, X) | |
λ ∈ σδ(T, X) | λ ∈ σδ(T, X) | |||
λ ∈ σr(T, X) | λ ∈ σr(T, X) | λ ∈ σp(T, X) | ||
C | λ ∈ σδ(T, X) | λ ∈ σap(T, X) | λ ∈ σap(T, X) | |
λ ∈ σδ(T, X) | λ ∈ σδ(T, X) | |||
λ ∈ σco (T, X) | λ ∈ σco (T, X) | λ ∈ σco (T, X) |
Observe that the case in the first row and second column cannot occur in a Banach space X, by the closed graph theorem. If we are not in the third column, that is, if λ is not an eigenvalue of T, we may always consider the resolvent operator (on a possibly “thin” domain of definition) as “algebraic” inverse of λI − T.
By a sequence space, we understand a linear subspace of the space of all complex sequences which contains ϕ, the set of all finitely nonzero sequences, where ℕ1 denotes the set of positive integers. We write ℓ∞, c, c0, and bv for the spaces of all bounded, convergent, null, and bounded variation sequences, which are the Banach spaces with the sup-norm ∥x∥∞ = sup k∈ℕ | xk| and , while ϕ is not a Banach space with respect to any norm, respectively, where ℕ = {0,1, 2, …}. Also by ℓp, we denote the space of all p-absolutely summable sequences, which is a Banach space with the norm , where 1 ⩽ p < ∞.
We give a short survey concerning the spectrum and the fine spectrum of the linear operators defined by some particular triangle matrices over certain sequence spaces. The fine spectrum of the Cesàro operator of order one on the sequence space ℓp studied by González [19], where 1 < p < ∞. Also, weighted mean matrices of operators on ℓp have been investigated by Cartlidge [20]. The spectrum of the Cesàro operator of order one on the sequence spaces bv0 and bv investigated by Okutoyi [8, 21]. The spectrum and fine spectrum of the Rhally operators on the sequence spaces c0, c, ℓp, bv, and bv0 were examined by Yıldırım [9, 22–28]. The fine spectrum of the difference operator Δ over the sequence spaces c0 and c was studied by Altay and Başar [12]. The same authors also worked the fine spectrum of the generalized difference operator B(r, s) over c0 and c, in [29]. The fine spectra of Δ over ℓ1 and bv studied by Kayaduman and Furkan [30]. Recently, the fine spectra of the difference operator Δ over the sequence spaces ℓp and bvp studied by Akhmedov and Başar [31, 32], where bvp is the space of p-bounded variation sequences and introduced by Başar and Altay [33] with 1 ⩽ p < ∞. Also, the fine spectrum of the generalized difference operator B(r, s) over the sequence spaces ℓ1 and bv determined by Furkan et al. [34]. Recently, the fine spectrum of B(r, s, t) over the sequence spaces c0 and c has been studied by Furkan et al. [35]. Quite recently, de Malafosse [11] and Altay and Başar [12] have, respectively, studied the spectrum and the fine spectrum of the difference operator on the sequence spaces sr and c0, c, where sr denotes the Banach space of all sequences x = (xk) normed by , (r > 0). Altay and Karakuş [36] have determined the fine spectrum of the Zweier matrix, which is a band matrix as an operator over the sequence spaces ℓ1 and bv. Farés and de Malafosse [37] studied the spectra of the difference operator on the sequence spaces ℓp(α), where (αn) denotes the sequence of positive reals and ℓp(α) is the Banach space of all sequences x = (xn) normed by with p⩾1. Also the fine spectrum of the same operator over ℓ1 and bv has been studied by Bilgiç and Furkan [13]. More recently the fine spectrum of the operator B(r, s) over ℓp and bvp has been studied by Bilgiç and Furkan [38]. In 2010, Srivastava and Kumar [16] have determined the spectra and the fine spectra of generalized difference operator Δν on ℓ1, where Δν is defined by (Δν) nn = νn and (Δν) n+1,n = −νn for all n ∈ ℕ, under certain conditions on the sequence ν = (νn), and they have just generalized these results by the generalized difference operator Δuv defined by Δuvx = (unxn + vn−1xn−1) n∈ℕ for all n ∈ ℕ, (see [18]). Altun [39] has studied the fine spectra of the Toeplitz operators, which are represented by upper and lower triangular n-band infinite matrices, over the sequence spaces c0 and c. Later, Karakaya and Altun have determined the fine spectra of upper triangular double-band matrices over the sequence spaces c0 and c, in [40]. Quite recently, Akhmedov and El-Shabrawy [15] have obtained the fine spectrum of the generalized difference operator Δa,b, defined as a double band matrix with the convergent sequences and having certain properties, over the sequence space c. Finally, the fine spectrum with respect to the Goldberg′s classification of the operator B(r, s, t) defined by a triple band matrix over the sequence spaces ℓp and bvp with 1 < p < ∞ has recently been studied by Furkan et al. [14]. At this stage, Table 2 may be useful.

Lemma 2.2 (see [41], p. 253, Theorem 34.16.)The matrix A = (ank) gives rise to a bounded linear operator T ∈ B(ℓ1) from ℓ1 to itself if and only if the supremum of ℓ1 norms of the columns of A is bounded.

Lemma 2.4 (see [41], p. 254, Theorem 34.18.)Let 1 < p < ∞ and A ∈ (ℓ∞ : ℓ∞)∩(ℓ1 : ℓ1). Then, A ∈ (ℓp : ℓp).
3. Fine Spectra of Upper Triangular Double-Band Matrices over the Sequence Space ℓp
Theorem 3.1. The operator is a bounded linear operator and
Proof. Since the linearity of the operator is not difficult to prove, we omit the detail. Now we prove that (3.1) holds for the operator on the space ℓp. It is trivial that for e(k) ∈ ℓp. Therefore, we have
Lemma 3.2 (see [42], p. 115, Lemma 3.1.)Let 1 < p < ∞. If
Throughout the paper, by 𝒞 and 𝒮𝒟, we denote the set of constant sequences and the set of sequences of distinct real numbers, respectively.
Theorem 3.3.
Proof. Let for θ ≠ x ∈ ℓp Then, by solving linear equation
Part 2. Assume that . We must take x0 ≠ 0, since x ≠ 0. It is clear that, for all k ∈ ℕ, the vector x = (x0, x1, …, xk, 0,0, …) is an eigenvector of the operator corresponding to the eigenvalue α = rk, where x0 ≠ 0 and xn = ((α − rn)/sn−1)xn−1, for 1 ⩽ n ⩽ k. Thus . If rk ≠ α, for all k ∈ ℕ, then xk ≠ 0. If we take |α − r | <|s|, since lim k→∞ | xk+1/xk|p = lim k→∞ | (rk − α)/sk|p = |(r − α)/s|p < 1, x ∈ ℓp. Hence . Conversely, let . Then, there exists x = (x0, x1, x2, …) in ℓp and we have xk = ((α − rk)/sk−1)xk−1, for all k⩾1. Since x ∈ ℓp, we can use ratio test. And so lim k→∞ | xk+1/xk|p = lim k→∞ | (rk − α)/sk|p = |(r − α)/s|p < 1 or α ∈ {rk : k ∈ ℂ}. If |α − r | = |s|, by Lemma 3.2 x ∉ ℓp. This completes the proof.
Theorem 3.4.
Proof. We prove the theorem by dividing into two parts.
Part 1. Assume that . Consider for f ≠ θ = (0,0, 0, …) in . Then, by solving the system of linear equations
Part 2. Assume that . Then, by solving the equation for f ≠ θ = (0,0, 0, …) in ℓq, we obtain (r0 − α)f0 = 0 and (rk+1 − α)fk+1 + skfk = 0 for all k ∈ ℕ. Hence, for all α ∉ {rk : k ∈ ℕ}, we have fk = 0 for all k ∈ ℕ, which contradicts our assumption. So, . This shows that . Now, we prove that
Lemma 3.5 (see [3], p. 60.)The adjoint operator T* of T is onto if and only if T is a bounded operator.

Proof. We will show that is onto, for |r − α | >|s|. Thus, for every y ∈ ℓq, we find x ∈ ℓq. is triangle so it has an inverse. Also equation gives . It is sufficient to show that . We can calculate that as follows:
Combining (3.31) and (3.32), we get
Theorem 3.9. Let (rk), (sk) in 𝒮𝒟 or 𝒞. .
Proof. The proof follows of immediately from Theorems 3.3, 3.7, and 3.8 because the parts , , and are pairwise disjoint sets and union of these sets is .
Theorem 3.10. Let (rk), (sk) ∈ 𝒮𝒟 and 𝒞. If |α − r | <|s|, .
Proof. From Theorem 3.3, . Thus, does not exist. It is sufficient to show that the operator is onto, that is, for given y = (yk) ∈ ℓp, we have to find x = (xk) ∈ ℓp such that . Solving the linear equation ,
let

Proof. (i) Since from Table 1,
(ii) Since the following equality:
(iii) From Table 1, we have
By Theorem 3.4, it is immediate that .
Theorem 3.12. Let (rk) ∈ 𝒮𝒟. Then
4. Conclusion
In the present work, as a natural continuation of Akhmedov and El-Shabrawy [15] and Srivastava and Kumar [18], we have determined the spectrum and the fine spectrum of the double sequential band matrix on the space ℓp. Many researchers determine the spectrum and fine spectrum of a matrix operator in some sequence spaces. In addition to this, we add the definition of some new divisions of spectrum called as approximate point spectrum, defect spectrum, and compression spectrum of the matrix operator and give the related results for the matrix operator on the space ℓp, which is a new development for this type works giving the fine spectrum of a matrix operator on a sequence space with respect to the Goldberg′s classification.
