Pseudospectra and singular values of large convolution operators (Q1347017)

Let \(\Lambda_ \varepsilon (T)\) be the pseudospectrum of linear bounded operator \(T\): \(\Lambda_ \varepsilon (T) = \{\lambda \in \mathbb{C}, T - \lambda I\) is not invertible or \(\| (T - \lambda I)^{-1} \| \geq 1/ \varepsilon\}\). The author investigates the connection between the pseudospectra of the Wiener-Hopf operator \(W = W_{0, \infty}\) of the truncated operator \[ (W_{0, \tau} \varphi) (x) = \int^ \tau_ 0 k(x - t) \varphi (t)dt, \quad 0 < x < \tau. \] For a large class of kernels \(k\) he shows that \(\lim_{\tau \to \infty} \Lambda_ \varepsilon (W_{0, \tau}) = \Lambda_ \varepsilon (W)\) for each \(\varepsilon > 0\).
