Abstract

The operator on sequence space on p is defined , where x = (xk) ∈ p, 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 p. Additionally, we give the approximate point spectrum, defect spectrum, and compression spectrum of the matrix operator over the space p.

1. Introduction

Let X and Y be Banach spaces, and let T : XY also be a bounded linear operator. By R(T), we denote the range of T, that is,
(1.1)
By B(X), we also denote the set of all bounded linear operators on X into itself. If X is any Banach space and TB(X), then the adjoint T* of T is a bounded linear operator on the dual X* of X defined by (T*f)(x) = f(Tx) for all fX* and xX.
Given an operator TB(X), the set
(1.2)
is called the resolvent set of T and its complement with respect to the complex plain
(1.3)
is called the spectrum of T. By the closed graph theorem, the inverse operator
(1.4)
is always bounded and is usually called resolvent operator of T at λ.

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 λσp(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.

Therefore, these three subspectra form a disjoint subdivisions
(2.1)
To avoid trivial misunderstandings, let us say that some of the sets defined above, may be empty. This is an existence problem, which we will have to discuss. Indeed, it is well known that σc(T, X) = σr(T, X) = and the spectrum σ(T, X) consists of only the set σp(T, X) in the finite-dimensional case.

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.

In what follows, we call the set
(2.2)
the approximate point spectrum of T. Moreover, the subspectrum
(2.3)
is called defect spectrum of T.
The two subspectra given by (2.2) and (2.3) form a (not necessarily disjoint) subdivision
(2.4)
of the spectrum. There is another subspectrum
(2.5)
which is often called compression spectrum in the literature. The compression spectrum gives rise to another (not necessarily disjoint) decomposition
(2.6)
of the spectrum. Clearly, σp(T, X)⊆σap(T, X) and σco (T, X)⊆σδ(T, X). Moreover, comparing these subspectra with those in (2.1) we note that
(2.7)

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 TB(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

If X is a Banach space and TB(X), then there are three possibilities for R(T):
  • (A)

    R(T) = X,

  • (B)

    ,

  • (C)

    ,

and
  • (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).

Details are in the caption following the image
State diagram for B(X) and B(X*) for a nonreflective Banach space X.

If λ is a complex number such that Tλ = λITA1 or Tλ = λITB1, then λρ(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 = λIT is in a given state, C2 (say), then we write λC2σ(T, X).

By the definitions given above, we can illustrate the subdivisions (2.1) in Table 1.

Table 1. Subdivisions of spectrum of a linear operator.

A R(λIT) = X λρ(T, X) λσp(T, X)
λσap(T, X)
  
λσc(T, X) λσp(T, X)
B λρ(T, X) λσap(T, X) λσap(T, X)

λσδ(T, X) λσδ(T, X)
λσco (T, X) λσco (T, X) λσco (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 λIT.

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 1 denotes the set of positive integers. We write , 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 | xk| and , while ϕ is not a Banach space with respect to any norm, respectively, where = {0,1, 2, …}. Also by p, we denote the space of all p-absolutely summable sequences, which is a Banach space with the norm , where 1 ⩽ p < .

Let A = (ank) be an infinite matrix of complex numbers ank, where n, k, and write
(2.8)
where D00(A) denotes the subspace of w consisting of xw for which the sum exists as a finite sum. For simplicity in notation, here and in what follows, the summation without limits runs from 0 to , and we will use the convention that any term with negative subscript is equal to naught. More generally if μ is a normed sequence space, we can write Dμ(A) for the xw for which the sum in (2.8) converges in the norm of μ. We write
(2.9)
for the space of those matrices which send the whole of the sequence space λ into μ in this sense.

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 p studied by González [19], where 1 < p < . Also, weighted mean matrices of operators on p 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, p, bv, and bv0 were examined by Yıldırım [9, 2228]. 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 1 and bv studied by Kayaduman and Furkan [30]. Recently, the fine spectra of the difference operator Δ over the sequence spaces p 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 1 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 1 and bv. Farés and de Malafosse [37] studied the spectra of the difference operator on the sequence spaces p(α), where (αn) denotes the sequence of positive reals and p(α) is the Banach space of all sequences x = (xn) normed by with p⩾1. Also the fine spectrum of the same operator over 1 and bv has been studied by Bilgiç and Furkan [13]. More recently the fine spectrum of the operator B(r, s) over p 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 1, where Δν is defined by (Δν) nn = νn and (Δν) n+1,n = −νn for all 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 for all 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 p and bvp with 1 < p < has recently been studied by Furkan et al. [14]. At this stage, Table 2 may be useful.

Table 2. Spectrum and fine spectrum of some triangle matrices in certain sequence spaces. In this paper, we study the fine spectrum of the generalized difference operator defined by an upper double sequential band matrix acting on the sequence spaces p with respect to the Goldberg′s classification. Additionally, we give the approximate point spectrum, defect spectrum, and compression spectrum of the matrix operator over the spaces p. We quote some lemmas, which are needed in proving the theorems given in Section 3.

Lemma 2.2 (see [41], p. 253, Theorem 34.16.)The matrix A = (ank) gives rise to a bounded linear operator TB(1) from 1 to itself if and only if the supremum of 1 norms of the columns of A is bounded.

Lemma 2.3 (see [41], p. 245, Theorem 34.3.)The matrix A = (ank) gives rise to a bounded linear operator TB() from to itself if and only if the supremum of 1 norms of the rows of A is bounded.

Lemma 2.4 (see [41], p. 254, Theorem 34.18.)Let 1 < p < and A ∈ ( : )∩(1 : 1). Then, A ∈ (p : p).

Let and be sequences whose entries either constants or distinct real numbers satisfying the following conditions:
(2.10)
Then, we define the sequential generalized difference matrix by
(2.11)
Therefore, we introduce the operator from p to itself by
(2.12)

3. Fine Spectra of Upper Triangular Double-Band Matrices over the Sequence Space p

Theorem 3.1. The operator is a bounded linear operator and

(3.1)

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 p. It is trivial that for e(k)p. Therefore, we have

(3.2)
which implies that
(3.3)
Let x = (xk) ∈ p, where p > 1. Then, since (skxk+1), (rkxk) ∈ p it is easy to see by Minkowski′s inequality that
(3.4)
which leads us to the result that
(3.5)
Therefore, by combining the inequalities in (3.3) and (3.5) we have (3.1), as desired.

Lemma 3.2 (see [42], p. 115, Lemma 3.1.)Let 1 < p < . If

(3.6)
then the series
(3.7)
is not convergent.

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.

(3.8)

Proof. Let for θxp Then, by solving linear equation

(3.9)
xk = ((αrk)/sk−1)xk−1 for all k⩾1 and
(3.10)
Part 1. Assume that . Let rk = r and sk = s For all k. We observe that xk = ((αr)/s) kx0. This shows that xp if and if only |αr | <|s|, as asserted.

Part 2. Assume that . We must take x0 ≠ 0, since x ≠ 0. It is clear that, for all k, 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 = ((αrn)/sn−1)xn−1, for 1 ⩽ nk. Thus . If rkα, for all k, then xk ≠ 0. If we take |αr | <|s|, since lim k | xk+1/xk|p = lim k | (rkα)/sk|p = |(rα)/s|p < 1, xp. Hence . Conversely, let . Then, there exists x = (x0, x1, x2, …) in p and we have xk = ((αrk)/sk−1)xk−1, for all k⩾1. Since xp, we can use ratio test. And so lim k | xk+1/xk|p = lim k | (rkα)/sk|p = |(rα)/s|p < 1 or α ∈ {rk : k}. If |αr | = |s|, by Lemma 3.2  xp. This completes the proof.

Theorem 3.4.

(3.11)

Proof. We prove the theorem by dividing into two parts.

Part 1. Assume that . Consider for fθ = (0,0, 0, …) in . Then, by solving the system of linear equations

(3.12)
we find that f0 = 0 if αr = rk and f1 = f2 = ⋯ = 0 if f0 = 0, which contradicts fθ. If is the first nonzero entry of the sequence f = (fn) and α = r, then we get that implies , which contradicts the assumption . Hence, the equation has no solution fθ.

Part 2. Assume that . Then, by solving the equation for fθ = (0,0, 0, …) in q, we obtain (r0α)f0 = 0 and (rk+1α)fk+1 + skfk = 0 for all k. Hence, for all α ∉ {rk : k}, we have fk = 0 for all k, which contradicts our assumption. So, . This shows that . Now, we prove that

(3.13)
If , then, by solving the equation for fθ = (0,0, 0, …) in q with α = r0,
(3.14)
which can expressed by the recursion relation
(3.15)
Using ratio test,
(3.16)
But |s/(rr0)| ≠ 1. Hence,
(3.17)
If we choose α = rkr for all k1, then we get f0 = f1 = f2 = ⋯ = fk−1 = 0 and
(3.18)
which can expressed by the recursion relation
(3.19)
Using ratio test,
(3.20)
But |s/(rrk)| ≠ 1. So we have
(3.21)
Conversely, let α. Then exist k, α = rkr, and
(3.22)
That is, fq. So we have . This completes the proof.

Lemma 3.5 (see [3], p. 60.)The adjoint operator T* of T is onto if and only if T is a bounded operator.

Theorem 3.6.

Proof. The proof is obvious so is omitted.

Theorem 3.7. Let (rk), (sk) in 𝒮𝒟 and 𝒞. .

Proof. By Theorems 3.4 and 3.6, .

Theorem 3.8. Let 𝒜 = {α : |rα| ⩽ |s|} and = {rk : k, |rrk | >|s|}. Then, the set is finite and .

Proof. We will show that is onto, for |rα | >|s|. Thus, for every yq, we find xq. is triangle so it has an inverse. Also equation gives . It is sufficient to show that . We can calculate that as follows:

(3.23)
Therefore, the supremum of the 1 norms of the rows of is Sk, where
(3.24)
Now, we prove that (Sk) ∈ . Since lim k|sk/(rkα)| = |s/(rα)| = p < 1, then there exists k0 such that |sk/(rkα)| < p0 with p0 < 1, for all kk0 + 1,
(3.25)
Therefore,
(3.26)
where
(3.27)
Then, Mk0⩾1 and so
(3.28)
But there exist k1 and a real number p1 such that 1/|rkα| < p1 for all kk1. Then, Sk ⩽ (Mp1k0)/(1 − p0) for all k > max {k0, k1}. Hence, sup kSk < . This shows that . Similarly, we can show that . By Lemma 2.4, we have
(3.29)
Hence, is onto. By Lemma 3.5, is bounded inverse. This means that
(3.30)
Combining this with Theorem 3.3 and Theorem 3.7, we get
(3.31)
and again from Theorem 3.3   and . Since the spectrum of any bounded operator is closed, we have
(3.32)

Combining (3.31) and (3.32), we get

(3.33)

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 |αr | <|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) ∈ p, we have to find x = (xk) ∈ p such that . Solving the linear equation ,

(3.34)

let

(3.35)
Then, ∑k  | xk|p ⩽ sup k(Rk) pk  | yk|p, where
(3.36)
for all k, n. Then, since
(3.37)
we have
(3.38)
Since |rα | <|s|, (Rk) is a convergent sequence of positive real numbers with limit R. Hence, (Rk) bounded and we have sup k(Rk) p < . Therefore,
(3.39)
This shows that x = (xk) ∈ p. Thus is onto. So we have .

Theorem 3.11. Let (rk), (sk) ∈ 𝒞 with rk = r, sk = s for all k. Then, the following statements hold:

  • (i)

    ,

  • (ii)

    ,

  • (iii)

    .

Proof. (i) Since from Table 1,

(3.40)
we have by Theorem 3.7
(3.41)
Hence,
(3.42)

(ii) Since the following equality:

(3.43)
holds from Table 1, we derive by Theorems 3.8 and 3.10 that .

(iii) From Table 1, we have

(3.44)

By Theorem 3.4, it is immediate that .

Theorem 3.12. Let (rk) ∈ 𝒮𝒟. Then

(3.45)

Proof. We have by Theorem 3.4 and Part (e) of Proposition 2.1 that

(3.46)
By Theorems 3.7 and 3.4, we must have
(3.47)
Hence, . Additionally, since .

Therefore, we derive from Table 1, Theorems 3.8, and 3.10 that

(3.48)

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 p. 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 p, 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.
