On the meromorphic and Schechter-Shapiro operational calculi (Q1081820)

The well-known Dunford-Taylor operational calculus for closed linear operators in Banach spaces has been generalized in two different ways: First, by \textit{H. A. Gindler} [Nagoya Math. J. 26, 31-38 (1966; Zbl 0167.137)] and \textit{B. Nagy} [Acta Math. Acad. Sci. Hungar. 33, 379-390 (1979; Zbl 0425.47009)], to include meromorphic functions with poles in the extended spectrum which are not eigenvalues. Second, by \textit{M. Schechter} and \textit{J. Shapiro} [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 175, 439-467 (1973; Zbl 0259.47028)], to include functions analytic on a neighborhood of the Fredholm spectrum. In this paper we give several results about the meromorphic calculus, in particular, spectral mapping theorems for essential spectra; and we apply our results to the study of the solutions of some integro-differential equations. Moreover, for functions admissible in both calculi, we verify that with suitable choice of quasi- resolvent and contour of integration, the Schechter-Shapiro calculus yields an extension of the operator provided by the meromorphic calculus.
