The Rhodius spectra of some nonlinear superposition operators in the spaces of sequences (Q486878)

For the class \({\mathcal C} (X) \) of all continuous operators \(F\) on a Banach space \(X\) over \(\mathbb{K}\) (\(\mathbb{R}\) or \(\mathbb{C}\)), \textit{A. Rhodius} introduced in [Acta Sci. Math. 47, 465--470 (1984; Zbl 0575.47005)] the following definition of its spectrum: {For a continuous operator} \(F: X \rightarrow X\), {the set} \[ \sigma_{R}(F) := {\mathbb K} \setminus \left\{ \lambda \in {\mathbb K} : \lambda I - F \text{ is bijective and } \left( \lambda I-F\right) ^{-1}\in {\mathcal C}(X) \right\} \] {is called a (Rhodius) spectrum}. In the present paper, the authors provide the form of the Rhodius spectrum of a nonlinear Nemytskij superposition operator \(K\) acting between \(l_{p}\) normed spaces of sequences generated by the function \(f(s,u) =a(s) +u^{n}\) or \(f(s,u) =a(s) + \root n \of {\left| u\right| }\) (where \(a(s)\) is a sequence from the space \(l_p\), \(n\) is a natural number and \(1\leq p\leq \infty\)). Namely, it is proved that \(\sigma_{R}(F) = \mathbb{R}\) (or \(\sigma_{R}(F) = \mathbb{C}\)) if \(n\) is an even number and \(\sigma _{R}(F) = (0,\infty)\) (or \(\sigma_{R}(F) = \mathbb{C}\)) in the case where \(n\) is an odd number, \(n\geq 3\). Moreover, the point spectrum of an operator \(F\) is described and some examples of the obtained results are provided.
