Abstract

By applying the theory of linear positive operators in a Banach space we derive spectral properties of certain composition operators in the Banach spaceA (Ω) of holomorphic functions over some domain Ω⊂ℂ. Examples of such operators are provided by the so called generalized transfer matrices of classical one-dimensional lattice systems.
