Rolewicz-type chaotic operators (Q2352200)

The main objects under study in this paper are certain operators on the (real) space \(\ell_{p}(\mathbb{N} )\), \(1\leq p<+\infty \), which the authors call Rolewicz-type operators. They are defined as follows: if \(f:\mathbb{N}\longrightarrow\mathbb{N}\) is an increasing function, one associates to \(f\) a bounded operator on \(\ell_{p}(\mathbb{N})\) by setting \(T_{f}(x)=(x_{f(1)},x_{f(2)},\dots)\) for every \(x=(x_{1},x_{2},\dots)\in\ell_{p}(\mathbb{N})\). \smallskip Recall that a bounded operator \(T\) on a separable Banach space \(X\) is said to be chaotic if it is topologically transitive (equivalently, if it admits a vector with dense orbit), and has a dense set of periodic points. The authors are interested in exhibiting a certain feature of algebraic largeness of the class of chaotic operators on \(\ell_{p}(\mathbb{N})\). Such a property must necessarily be rather weak, as the class of chaotic operators is not stable by either addition or multiplication by a scalar. Given an \(r\)-tuple \((f_{1},\dots,f_{r})\) of increasing functions from \(\mathbb{N}\) to \(\mathbb{N}\) and an \(r\)-tuple \((c_{1},\dots,c_{r})\) of real numbers, a criterion on \((f_{1},\dots,f_{r})\) and \((c_{1},\dots,c_{r})\) is provided for all sufficiently large multiples of \(\sum_{i=1}^{r}c_{i}T_{f_{i}}\) to be chaotic. As a consequence, the authors prove the existence of an infinite family \(\mathcal{T}\) of chaotic operators on \(\ell_{p}(\mathbb{N} )\) such that for every \(r\geq 1\), every \(r\)-tuple \((T_{1},\dots, T_{r})\) of elements of \(\mathcal{T}\), and every \(r\)-tuple \((c_{1},\dots,c_{r})\) of real numbers, all sufficiently large multiples \(\lambda T\) of \(T=\sum_{i=1}^{r}c_{i}T_{i}\) are chaotic, provided that \(T\) is not equal to the zero operator.
