Continuity of spectrum and approximate point spectrum on operator matrices (Q631861)

The authors investigate the continuity of certain parts of the spectrum as function from the algebra \(B(X)\) of bounded operators on a given Banach space \(X\) into the sets of subsets of \(\mathbb C\). The authors prove a sufficient, but not necessary, criterion for \(T\in B(X)\) to be a point of continuity for the spectrum \(\sigma\) and the approximate point spectrum \(\sigma_{ap}\). Finally, the authors prove several facts on the relation between spectral continuity of \(A\) and \(B\) and the spectral continuity of the block operator matrices \(M_C = \begin{pmatrix} A & C \\ 0 & B \end{pmatrix}\).
