On unbounded hyponormal operators. II (Q1194223)

Let \(T\) be a densely defined operator on a complex Hilbert space. Then \(T\) is called hyponormal, if \(D(T)\subseteq D(T^*)\) and \(\| T^* x\|\leq \| Tx\|\), \(\forall x\in D(T)\). This extension of the concept of hyponormal operators to the case of unbounded operators was given by the author in a previous publication (part I), where he studied some basic properties of such operators [see \textit{J. Janas}, Ark. Mat. 27, No. 2, 273-281 (1989; Zbl 0684.47020)]. The present paper continues this study, providing some interesting examples of unbounded hyponormal operators. The author shows also that if \(A\) is a closed hyponormal operator with spectrum in the parabola \(\{(x,y)\); \(x\geq by^ 2\}\), then \(-A\) generates a cosine operator family. The proof is based on the fact that \(A(A+t)^{-1}\), \(t>0\), is bounded and hyponormal, which implies that \(A^{1/2}\) is \(m\)-accretive with numerical range in the half strip \(\{(x,y)\): \(x\geq 0\), \(| y|\leq 1/2b^{1/2}\}\).
