A new method for constructing invariant subspaces

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The method of compatible sequences is introduced in order to produce non-trivial (closed) invariant subspaces of (bounded linear) operators. Also a topological tool is used which is new in the search of invariant subspaces: the extraction of continuous selections of lower semicontinuous set valued functions. The advantage of this method over previously known methods is that if an operator acts on a reflexive Banach space then it has a non-trivial invariant subspace if and only if there exist compatible sequences (their definition refers to a fixed operator). Using compatible sequences a result of Aronszajn-Smith is proved for reflexive Banach spaces. Also it is shown that if X be a reflexive Banach space, TinmathcalL(X), and A is any closed ball of X, then either there exists vinA such that Tv=0, or there exists vinA such that is a non-trivial invariant subspace of T, or for every (xn)ninAmathbbN.
