Band-diagonal operators on Banach lattices: matrix dynamics and invariant subspaces (Q6173917)

In this article, among other things the authors deal with a subclass of positive operators that are not necessarily band-diagonal introducing the concept of honeycomb matrices and showing that positive operators whose matrix representation is honeycomb have non-trivial closed invariant ideals. They also extend a theorem of Grivaux regarding the existence of non-trivial closed invariant subspaces for positive tridiagonal operators to a more general class of band-diagonal operators exhibiting, in particular, a large class of positive band-diagonal operators having non-trivial closed invariant subspaces, but lacking non-trivial closed invariant ideals.
