On the limits of Cesàro means of polynomial powers (Q636767): Difference between revisions

The Cesàro means of polynomial powers of contractive operators in Hilbert spaces converge strongly. In the paper it is studied the question of wether the limit is a projection. It is shown that the only polynomials leading to projections for any operator are of degree at most one. It is found a spectral characterisation of operators in Hilbert spaces that have a projection as the limit of their Cesàro means for every reasonable polynomial.
