Functions of perturbed commuting dissipative operators

Lipschitz Functions of Perturbed Operators

We prove that if f is a Lipschitz function on R, A and B are self-adjoint operators such that rank(A − B) = 1, then f(A) − f(B) belongs to the weak space S1,∞, i.e., sj(A − B) ≤ const(1 + j). We deduce from this result that if A − B belongs to the trace class S1 and f is Lipschitz, then f(A) − f(B) ∈ SΩ, i.e., Pn j=0 sj(f(A) − f(B)) ≤ const log(2 + n). We also obtain more general results about ...

Functions of Perturbed Noncommuting Self-adjoint Operators

Abstract. We consider functions f(A,B) of noncommuting self-adjoint operators A and B that can be defined in terms of double operator integrals. We prove that if f belongs to the Besov class B ∞,1 (R), then we have the following Lipschitz type estimate in the trace norm: ‖f(A1, B1)− f(A2, B2)‖S1 ≤ const(‖A1 −A2‖S1 + ‖B1 −B2‖S1). However, the condition f ∈ B ∞,1 (R) does not imply the Lipschitz ...

Functions of Perturbed Tuples of Self-adjoint Operators

Abstract. We generalize earlier results of [2], [3], [6], [13], [14] to the case of functions of n-tuples of commuting self-adjoint operators. In particular, we prove that if a function f belongs to the Besov space B ∞,1(R ), then f is operator Lipschitz and we show that if f satisfies a Hölder condition of order α, then ‖f(A1 · · · , An)− f(B1, · · · , Bn)‖ ≤ constmax1≤j≤n ‖Aj −Bj‖ α for all n...

On Commuting Differential Operators

The theory of commuting linear differential expressions has received a lot of attention since Lax presented his description of the KdV hierarchy by Lax pairs (P,L). Gesztesy and the present author have established a relationship of this circle of ideas with the property that all solutions of the differential equations Ly = zy, z ∈ C, are meromorphic. In this paper this relationship is explored ...
