TL;DR: In this paper, a linear ordinary differential operator with bounded coefficients satisfying certain homogeneous initial conditions is shown to be invertible on Ln2(0, ∞) if and only if the underlying system of differential equations has a dichotomy.
Abstract: A linear ordinary differential operator with bounded coefficients satisfying certain homogeneous initial conditions is shown to be invertible onLn2(0, ∞) if and only if the underlying system of differential equations has a dichotomy. Moreover, in that case the operator is proved to be a direct sum of two infinitesimal generators ofC0-semigroups, one of which has support on the negative half-line and the other on the positive half-line. The effect of perturbations of the initial values on the dichotomy is also described.

TL;DR: In this paper, a generalization of the theory of Invertibility Symbol in Banach algebras is presented, which allows us to study the Fredholm Symbols of linear operators.
Abstract: This paper is a continuation of [GK3] where the theory of Invertibility Symbol in Banach algebras was developed. In the present paper we generalize these results for the case when the Invertibility Symbol is defined on a subalgebra of the Banach algebras. The difficulty which arises here in this more general case is connected with the fact that some elements of the subalgebra may have the inverses which do not belong to the subalgebra. This generalization of the theory allows us to study the Fredholm Symbols of linear operators. Applications to subalgebras generated by two idempotents and to algebras generated by singular integral operators are presented.

TL;DR: The Banach algebra generated by one-dimensional linear singular integral operators with matrix valued piecewise continuous coefficients in the spaceLp(Γ,ρ) with an arbitrary weight ρ is studied in this article.
Abstract: The Banach algebra generated by one-dimensional linear singular integral operators with matrix valued piecewise continuous coefficients in the spaceLp(Γ,ρ) with an arbitrary weight ρ is studied. The contour Γ consists of a finite number of closed curves and open arcs with satisfy the Carleson condition. The contour may have a finite number of points of selfintersection. The symbol calculus in this algebra is the main result of the paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, a complete system of invariants and canonical form for normal operators acting in spaces with indefinite scalar product was introduced. But their invariants are not invariant for all normal operators.
Abstract: In our previous paper [2] a special class of normal operators acting in spaces with indefinite scalar product was introduced. The operators from this class are characterized by the property that in appropriate sip orthogonal bases their matrices have diagonal block-Toeplitz forms. In the present paper we find a complete system of invariants and canonical form for operators belonging to this class.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors develop results on interpolation of real rational matrix functions analogous to those proved in earlier work for rational matrices with complex coefficients. But their results are based on the approach exposed in [BGR3].
Abstract: We develop results on interpolation of real rational matrix functions analogous to those proved in earlier work for rational matrix functions with complex coefficients. Other relevant problems are studied as well; one of them: decide (in terms of the interpolation data) if a given interpolation problem admits a real rational matrix functions interpolants. The basic methodology is rooted in the approach exposed in [BGR3].

TL;DR: In this paper, a discrete-time, time-varying analogue of the function theoretic, matricial Lagrange-Sylvester interpolation problem is introduced and solved.
Abstract: A discrete-time, time-varying analogue of the function theoretic, matricial Lagrange-Sylvester interpolation problem is introduced and solved. The set of all solutions is described via a linear fractional representation and a formula for a particular solution is given. The time-varying generalization of the bitangential matricial Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation problem is also considered. A time-varying version of the state space method plays an important role.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Gelfand theory of commutative Banach algebras is introduced and analyzed, showing that piecewise continuous functions become continuous under the GELFand transformation.
Abstract: This chapter contains the Gelfand theory of commutative Banach algebras. The Gelfand spectrum and the Gelfand transform are introduced and analysed. The results are illustrated by various examples. In particular, it is explained in detail how under the Gelfand transformation piecewise continuous functions become continuous. Special attention is paid to finitely generated commutative Banach algebras and to the Banach algebra generated by a compact operator. The last two sections present applications to factorization of matrix functions and to Wiener-Hopf integral operators. The analysis starts with a study of multiplicative linear functionals.

TL;DR: In this paper, the main elements of the theory of block shift operators are presented, which are among the simplest infinite dimensional operators and may serve as building blocks for more complicated operators.
Abstract: This chapter, which has an introductory character, contains the main elements of the theory of block shift operators. These operators are among the simplest infinite dimensional operators, and they may serve as building blocks for more complicated operators. In the first section block forward shifts are identified as pure isometries. In the second section it is shown that block backward shifts provide universal models for arbitrary operators. The third section describes the invariant subspaces of ℂ m -block forward shifts. Throughout this chapter all operators are Hilbert space operators.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Banach algebras generated by Toeplitz operators defined by continuous and, more generally, by piecewise continuous functions are studied and analyzed.
Abstract: In this chapter the Banach algebras generated by Toeplitz operators defined by continuous and, more generally, by piecewise continuous functions are studied. These algebras are not commutative, but they contain the compact operators as a proper closed ideal and in the scalar case the corresponding quotient algebras turn out to be commutative. The Gelfand spectra and transforms of these quotient algebras are described and analyzed.
