Spectral Properties of Operator Polynomials with Nonnegative Coefficients

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Operator Theory: Advances and Applications ((OT,volume 163))

Abstract

We study properties of the polynomial Q(λ) = λmIS(λ) where S(λ) = λlAl + ...+ λA1 + A0 and 1 ≤ m < l. The coefficients Al,...,A0 are in the positive cone of an ordered Banach algebra or are positive operators on a complex Banach lattice E and I is the identity. We study the properties of the spectral radius of S(λ) if λ is a nonnegative real number, and its connection with the existence of spectral divisors with nonnegative coefficients in the considered sense. We prove factorization results for nonnegative elements in an ordered decomposing Banach algebra with closed normal algebra cone and in the Wiener algebra. Earlier results on monic (nonnegative) operator polynomials are applied to the operator polynomial class studied here.
