Banach algebras associated with linear operator pencils (Q1048580)

Given complex linear spaces \(X\) and \(Y\), linear subspaces \(X_{F},X_{G}\) of \(X\), and linear operators \(F: X_{F}\to Y\) and \(G:X_{G}\to Y\), the operator pencil is defined as the function \(\lambda\in{\mathbb C}\mapsto\lambda F-G\), where \(\lambda F-G: X_{*}=X_{F}\cap X_{G}\to Y\). The author describes a commutative Banach algebra generated by the operator pencil \(\lambda F-G\). This reduces the study of the properties of the resolvent \({(\lambda F-G)}^{-1}\) to a direct application of classical facts from spectral theory.
