Spectrum of the Cesaro operator on sequence spaces l1 and lp (1 < p < 1) is investigated Reade [17] and Gonzalez [13], respectively. In 2006, Kayaduman and Furkan [14] obtained spectrum and fine spectrum of the difference operator D on sequence spaces l1 and bv, where Dx = (xn  xn1). Fine spectrum of the difference operator D on the sequence space lp (0 < p < 1) is determined by Altay and Basar [6], while fine spectrum of the Zweier matrix Zs on sequence spaces l1 and bv is obtained by Altay and Karakus [7], where Zsx = (sxn + (1  s)xn1) and s is a real number with s – 0, 1. Fine spectrum of the operator B(r, s) on sequence spaces l1 and bv is studied by Furkan et al. [11], where B(r, s)x = (rxn + sxn1). In 2008, Bilgic and Furkan [9] obtained fine spectrum of the operator B(r, s) on sequence spaces lp and bvp (1 < p < 1). Recently, spectrum ⇑ Corresponding author.

and fine spectrum of the operator B(r, s, t) on sequence spaces l1 and bv is studied by Bilgic and Furkan [8], where B(r, s, t)x = (rxn + sxn1 + txn2). Fine spectrum of the difference operator D on sequence spaces c0 and c is studied by Altay and Basar [4], and the generalization of these results are obtained by the same authors in [5] with the generalized difference operator B(r, s). In 2006 and 2007, Akhmedov and Basar [1 and 2] determined the fine spectrum of the difference operator D over the sequence spaces lp and bvp (1 6 p < 1). Recently, spectrum and fine spectrum of the operator B(r, s, t) on sequence spaces lp and bvp (1 < p < 1) have derived by Furkan et al. [10] which generalizes the main results of [1,2 and 9]. Quite recently, the fine spectrum of the operator Da,b over the sequence space c has been worked by Akhmedov and El-Shabrawy [3]. In this paper we determine spectrum, point spectrum, continuous spectrum and residual spectrum of the operator Duv on the sequence space l1. It is easy to verify that by choosing suitably u and v sequences, one can get easily the operators such as B(r, s), Zs, etc. Choosing u = (r), v = (s) and u = (s), v = (1  s), the operator Duv reduces to B(r, s) and Zs, respectively. Similarly, if u = (1), v = (1) and u = (0), v = (1), then the operator Duv reduces to D and right-shift operator, respectively. Thus, the results of this paper generalizes the corresponding results of many operator whose matrix representation has diagonal and postdiagonal elements studied by earlier authors. 2. Preliminaries and notation Let X and Y be Banach spaces and T : X ? Y be a bounded linear operator. The set of all bounded linear operators on X into itself is denoted by B(X). The adjoint T: Xw ? Xw of T is defined by

ðT  /ÞðxÞ ¼ /ðTxÞ for all / 2 X H and x 2 X: Clearly, T is a bounded linear operator on the dual space Xw. Let X – {0} be a complex normed space and T : D(T) ? X be a linear operator with domain D(T) # X. With T, we associate the operator Ta = (T  aI), where a is a complex number and I is the identity operator on D(T). The inverse of Ta (if exists) is denoted by T 1 a and known as the resolvent operator of T. Since the spectral theory is concerned with many properties of Ta 1 1 and T 1 a , which depend on a, so we are interested the set of those a in the complex plane for which T a exists or T a is bounded or domain of T 1 is dense in X. a Definition 2.1 [15, p. 371]. Let X – {0} be a complex normed space and T : D(T) ? X be a linear operator with domain D(T) # X. A regular value of T is a complex number a such that

(R1) T 1 a exists, (R2) T 1 a is bounded, (R3) T 1 a is defined on a set which is dense in X. Resolvent set q(T, X) of T is the set of all regular values a of T. Its complement rðT; XÞ ¼ C n qðT; XÞ in the complex plane C is called the spectrum of T. The spectrum r(T, X) is further partitioned into three disjoint sets namely point spectrum, continuous spectrum and residual spectrum as follows: Point spectrum rp(T, X) is the set of all a 2 C such that T 1 a does not exist, i.e., condition (R1) fails. The element of rp(T, X) is called eigenvalue of T. Continuous spectrum rc(T, X) is the set of all a 2 C such that conditions (R1) and (R3) hold but condition (R2) fails, i.e., T 1 a 1 exists, domain of T 1 a is dense in X but T a is unbounded. 1 Residual spectrum rr(T, X) is the set of all a 2 C such that T 1 a exists but do not satisfy condition (R3), i.e., domain of T a is not dense in X. The condition (R2) may or may not holds good. Definition 2.2 [16, pp. 220–221]. Let k, l be two nonempty subsets of the space W of all real or complex sequences and A = (ank) an infinite matrix of complex numbers ank, where n; k 2 N0 . For every x = (xk) 2 k and every integer n we write

An ðxÞ ¼

X

ank xk ;

k

where the sum without limits is always taken from k = 0 to k = 1. The sequence Ax = (An(x)), if it exists, is called the transformation of x by the matrix A. Infinite matrix A 2 (k, l) if and only if A x 2 l whenever x 2 k. Goldberg’s classification of operator Ta [12, p. 58]: Let X be a Banach space and Ta 2 B(X), where a is a complex number. Again, let R(Ta) and T 1 a denote the range and inverse of the operator Ta, respectively. Then the following possibilities may occur; (A) R(Ta) = X, (B) RðT a Þ – RðT a Þ ¼ X, (C) RðT a Þ – X,

and (1) (2) (3)

Ta is injective and T 1 a is continuous, Ta is injective and T 1 a is discontinuous, Ta is not injective.

Remark 2.1. Combining (A), (B), (C) and (1), (2), (3); we get nine different cases. These are labeled by A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3, C1, C2 and C3 . The notation a 2 A2r(T, X) means the operator Ta 2 A2, i.e., R(Ta) = X and Ta is injective but T 1 a is discontinuous. Similarly others. Remark 2.2. If a is a complex number such that Ta 2 A1 or Ta 2 B1, then a belongs to the resolvent set q(T, X) of T on X. The other classification gives rise to the fine spectrum of T. Lemma 2.1 [18, p. 126]. The matrix A = (ank) gives rise to a bounded linear operator T 2 B(l1) from l1 to itself if and only if the supremum of l1 norms of the columns of A is bounded. Lemma 2.2 [12, p. 59]. T has a dense range if and only if T is one to one, where T denotes the adjoint operator of the operator T. Lemma 2.3 [12, p. 60]. The adjoint operator T of T is onto if and only if T has a bounded inverse.

3. Spectrum and point spectrum of the operator Duv on the sequence space l1 In this section we obtained spectrum and point spectrum of the operator Duv on l1. Theorem 3.1. The operator Duv : l1 ? l1 is a bounded linear operator and

kDuv kBðl1 Þ ¼ supðjuk j þ jv k jÞ: k

Proof. Proof is simple. So we omit. h Theorem 3.2. Spectrum of the operator Duv on the sequence space l1 is given by

rðDuv ; l1 Þ ¼ fa 2 C : jU  aj 6 jVjg: Proof. Proof of this theorem is divided into two parts. In the first part, we show that which is equivalent to

rðDuv ; l1 Þ # fa 2 C : jU  aj 6 jVjg,

a 2 C with jU  aj > jVj implies a R rðDuv ; l1 Þ; i:e:; a 2 qðDuv ; l1 Þ: In the second part, we establish the reverse inclusion, i.e.,

fa 2 C : jU  aj 6 jVjg # rðDuv ; l1 Þ: Part I: Let a 2 C with jU  aj > jVj. Clearly, a – U and a – uk for each k 2 N0 as it does not satisfy this condition. Further, (Duv  aI) = (ank) reduces to a triangle and hence has an inverse (Duv  aI)1 = (bnk), where

By Lemma 2.1, the operator (Duv  aI)1 2 B(l1) if the supremum of l1 norms of the columns of (bnk) is bounded, i.e., P1 P P supk 1 1. In order to show supk 1 n¼0 jbnk j < P n¼0 jbnk j < 1, first we prove that the series n¼0 jbnk j is convergent for each 1 k 2 N0 . Let Sk ¼ n¼0 jbnk j. Then the series

S0 ¼

1 X n¼0

  jbn0 j ¼ 

  1   1  X v 0 v 1    v n1   þ   u0  a ðu0  aÞðu1  aÞ    ðun  aÞ n¼1

is convergent because

         bnþ1;0    ¼ lim  v n  ¼  V  < 1 for a 2 C with jU  aj > jVj: lim      n!1 n!1 unþ1  a U  a bn0

ð3:2Þ

P.D. Srivastava, S. Kumar / Applied Mathematics and Computation 218 (2012) 6407–6414

P Similarly, one can show the convergence of the series Sk ¼ 1 jb j for each k = 1, 2, 3, . . .   n¼0 nk  vk  Since modulus function is continuous, so Now we claim that supkSk is finite. Let b ¼ limk!1 ukþ1 . a

   V  : b ¼  U  a

ð3:3Þ

Clearly, 0 < b < 1 and

   1  b : ¼  jVj U  a

ð3:4Þ

We have

  Sk ¼ 

        1   vk v k v kþ1 þ  þ : þ    uk  a ðuk  aÞðukþ1  aÞ ðuk  aÞðukþ1  aÞðukþ2  aÞ

ð3:5Þ

Taking limit both sides of equality (3.5) and using equalities (3.3) and (3.4), we get

lim Sk ¼

k!1

  b 1 < 1: jVj 1  b

Since (Sk) is a sequence of positive real numbers and limk?1Sk < 1, so supkSk < 1. Thus,

ðDuv  aIÞ1 2 Bðl1 Þ for a 2 C with jU  aj > jVj:

ð3:6Þ

Next, we show that domain of the operator (Duv  aI) is dense in l1 equivalent to say that range of the operator (Duv  aI) is dense in l1, which follows immediately as (Duv  aI)1 2 B(l1). Hence we have

rðDuv ; l1 Þ # fa 2 C : jU  aj 6 jVjg:

ð3:7Þ

Part II: We now prove the reverse inclusion, i.e.,

fa 2 C : jU  aj 6 jVjg # rðDuv ; l1 Þ:

ð3:8Þ

First we prove inclusion (3.8) under the assumption that a – U and a – uk for each k 2 N0 , i.e., we want to show that one of the conditions of Definition 2.1 fails. Let a 2 C with jU  aj 6 jVj. Clearly, (Duv  aI) is a triangle and hence (Duv  aI)1 exists. So condition (R1) is satisfied but condition (R2) fails as can be seen below: Suppose a 2 C with jU  aj < jVj. By equality (3.2), the series S0 is divergent because

      bnþ1;0       ¼ lim  v n  ¼  V  > 1: lim      n!1 n!1 U  a bn0 unþ1  a

So supkSk is unbounded. Hence

ðDuv  aIÞ1 R Bðl1 Þ for a 2 C with jU  aj < jVj:

ð3:9Þ

Next, we consider a 2 C with jU  aj = jVj. Taking limit both sides of equality (3.5), we get

    1    þ lim Sk ¼  k!1 U  a 

     V2  1 1 1    þ þ þ    ¼ 1: þ  þ  ¼ jVj jVj jVj ðU  aÞ2  ðU  aÞ3  V

This shows that supkSk is unbounded. Hence

ðDuv  aIÞ1 R Bðl1 Þ for a 2 C with jU  aj ¼ jVj:

ð3:10Þ

Finally, we prove the inclusion (3.8) under the assumption that a = U and a = uk for each k 2 N0 . Case (i): If (uk) is a constant sequence, say uk = U for all k 2 N0 , then

0

1 0 Bv x C B 0 0C C ðDuv  UIÞx ¼ 0 ) B B v 1 x1 C ¼ 0 ) xi ¼ 0 for each i 2 N0 : @ A .. . This shows that the operator (Duv  UI) is one to one, but R(Duv  UI) is not dense in l1. So condition (R3) fails. Hence U 2 r(Duv, l1). Case (ii): If (uk) is a sequence of distinct real numbers, then the series S0 is divergent for each a = uk from equality (3.2) and consequently, supkSk is unbounded. Hence

ðDuv  aIÞ1 R Bðl1 Þ for a ¼ uk :

ð3:11Þ

P.D. Srivastava, S. Kumar / Applied Mathematics and Computation 218 (2012) 6407–6414

6411

So condition (R2) fails. Hence uk 2 r(Duv, l1) for all k 2 N0 . Again, taking limit both sides of equality (3.5), we get limk?1Sk = 1 for a = U. So supk Sk is unbounded. Hence

ðDuv  aIÞ1 R Bðl1 Þ for a ¼ U:

ð3:12Þ

So U 2 r(Duv, l1). Thus, in this case also uk 2 r(Duv, l1) for all k 2 N0 and U 2 r(Duv, l1). Hence we have

fa 2 C : jU  aj 6 jVjg # rðDuv ; l1 Þ:

ð3:13Þ

From inclusions (3.7) and (3.13), we get

rðDuv ; l1 Þ ¼ fa 2 C : jU  aj 6 jVjg: This completes the proof. h Theorem 3.3. Point spectrum of the operator Duv on the sequence space l1 is

rp ðDuv ; l1 Þ ¼ ;: Proof. For the point spectrum of the operator Duv, we find those a in C such that the matrix equation Duv x = ax is satisfy for non-zero vector x = (xk) in l1. Consider Duvx = ax for x – 0 = (0, 0, . . .) in l1, which gives

u0 x0 ¼ ax0

v 0 x0 þ u1 x1 ¼ ax1 v 1 x1 þ u2 x2 ¼ ax2 .. .

9 > > > > > > > > > > =

ð3:14Þ

The proof of this Theorem is divided into two cases. Case (i): Suppose (uk) is a constant sequence, say uk = U for all k 2 N0 . Let xt be the first nonzero entry of the sequence x = (xn). So equation vt1xt1 + U xt = axt implies a = U, and from the equation vtxt + Uxt+1 = axt+1, we get xt = 0, which is a contradiction to our assumption. Hence rp(Duv, l1) = ;. Case (ii): Suppose (uk) is a sequence of distinct real numbers. Clearly,

xk ¼



v k1

a  uk

 xk1 for all k P 1:

If a = u0, then

     xk   V  ¼  lim   u  U  > 1 k!1 xk1 0 because jU  u0j < jVj. So x R l1 for x0 – 0. Similarly, if a = uk for all k P 1, then xk1 = 0, xk2 = 0, . . . , x0 = 0 and

xnþ1 ¼



vn

uk  unþ1

 xn for all n P k:

This implies

    xnþ1   V  ¼ >1 lim    n!1 xn uk  U  because jU  ukj < jVj for all k P 1. So x R l1 for x0 – 0. If x0 = 0, then xk = 0 for all k P 1. Only possibility is x = 0 = (0, 0, . . .). Hence rp(Duv, l1) = ;. h 4. Residual and continuous spectrum of the operator Duv on the sequence space l1 Let T : X ? X be a bounded linear operator having matrix representation A and the dual space of X denoted by Xw. Again, let T be its adjoint operator on Xw. Then the matrix representation of T is the transpose of the matrix A.

We need result for the point spectrum of D uv on the sequence space l1 for obtaining residual and continuous spectrum. So H we first determine point spectrum of the operator D uv on l1 . H

Theorem 4.1. Point spectrum of the adjoint operator D uv on l1 is

rp ðDuv ; lH1 Þ ¼ fa 2 C : jU  aj 6 jVjg: H

Hence

  ða  uk1 Þða  uk2 Þ    ða  u0 Þ jf0 j for all k P 1: jfk j ¼   v k1 v k2    v 0

ð4:2Þ

Using equality (4.1), we get

        fk      ¼ lim a  uk1  ¼ a  U  < 1 provided jU  aj < jVj: lim      k!1 fk1 k!1 V  v k1 So f 2 l1 and consequently, f 2 l1. Again, for a 2 C with jU  aj = jVj,

        fk      ¼ lim a  uk1  ¼ a  U  ¼ 1: lim   k!1  v   V  k!1 fk1 k1

Thus, the test fails. In this case, we take f = (fk) in such a way it is a decreasing sequence of positive real numbers and  ratio    limk!1 f fk  ¼ 1. Clearly, f = (fk) is a convergent sequence and consequently, f 2 l1. Hence k1

jU  aj 6 jVj ) sup jfk j < 1: k

Conversely, suppose supkjfkj < 1. From equality (4.2), it follows that

  a  uk1   6 1 for all k P m; where m is a positive integer:    v k1

   k1  So limk!1 au  6 1, i.e., jU  aj 6 jVj. Hence v k1

sup jfk j < 1 ) jU  aj 6 jVj: k

    H This means that f 2 l1 if and only if f0 – 0, f = (fk) is a decreasing sequence of positive real numbers such that limk!1 f fk  ¼ 1 k1 and jU  aj 6 jVj. Thus, H  rp ðDuv ; l1 Þ ¼ fa 2 C : jU  aj 6 jVjg. h Theorem 4.2. Residual spectrum

rr ðDuv ; l1 Þ of the operator Duv on l1 is

rr ðDuv ; l1 Þ ¼ fa 2 C : jU  aj 6 jVjg: Proof. The proof of this Theorem is divided into two cases. Case (i): Suppose (uk) is a constant sequence, say uk = U for all k 2 N0 . For a 2 C with jU  aj 6 jVj, the operator (Duv  aI) is a triangle except a = U and consequently, the operator (Duv  aI) has an inverse. Further by Theorem 3.3, the operator (Duv  aI) is one to one for a = U and hence has an inverse. But by Theorem 4.1, the operator (Duv  aI) is not injective for a 2 C with jU  aj 6jVj. Hence by Lemma 2.2, the range of the operator (Duv  aI) is not dense in l1. Thus, rr ðDuv ; l1 Þ ¼ fa 2 C : jU  aj 6 jVjg.

P.D. Srivastava, S. Kumar / Applied Mathematics and Computation 218 (2012) 6407–6414

6413

Case (ii): Suppose (uk) is a sequence of distinct real numbers. For a 2 C with jU  aj 6 jVj, the operator (Duv  aI) is a triangle except a = uk for all k 2 N0 and consequently, the operator (Duv  aI) has an inverse. Further by Theorem 3.3, the operator (Duv  ukI) is one to one and hence (Duv  ukI)1 exists for all k 2 N0 . On the basis of the argument given in Case (i), it is easy to verify that the range of the operator (Duv  aI) is not dense in l1. Thus,

rr ðDuv ; l1 Þ ¼ fa 2 C : jU  aj 6 jVjg: Theorem 4.3. Continuous spectrum



rc ðDuv ; l1 Þ of the operator Duv on l1 is

rc ðDuv ; l1 Þ ¼ ;: Proof. It is known that rp ðDuv ; l1 Þ, rr ðDuv ; l1 Þ and rc ðDuv ; l1 Þ are pairwise disjoint sets and union of these sets is rðDuv ; l1 Þ. But by Theorems 3.2 and 4.2, we get

rðDuv ; l1 Þ ¼ rr ðDuv ; l1 Þ; which shows that continuous spectrum is empty set.

5. Fine spectrum of the operator Duv on the sequence space l1 Theorem 5.1. If a satisfies jU  aj > jVj, then (Duv  a I) 2 A1. Proof. It is required to show that the operator (Duv  aI) is bijective and has a continuous inverse for a 2 C with jU  aj > jVj. Since a – U and a – uk for each k 2 N0 , therefore the operator (Duv  aI) is a triangle. Hence it has an inverse. The operator (Duv  aI)1 is continuous for a 2 C with jU  aj > jVj by statement (3.6). Also the equation

ðDuv  aIÞx ¼ y gives x ¼ ðDuv  aIÞ1 y; i:e:; xn ¼ ððDuv  aIÞ1 yÞn ;

n 2 N0 :

Thus, for every y 2 l1, we can find x 2 l1 such that

ðDuv  aIÞx ¼ y; since ðDuv  aIÞ1 2 Bðl1 Þ: This shows that the operator (Duv  aI) is onto and hence (Duv  aI) 2 A1. h Theorem 5.2. Let u be a constant sequence, say uk = U for all k 2 N0 . Then U 2 C 1 rðDuv ; l1 Þ. Proof. We have rr ðDuv ; l1 Þ ¼ fa 2 C : jU  aj 6 jVjg. Clearly, U 2 rr(Duv, l1). It is sufficient to show that the operator (Duv  H UI)1 is continuous. By Lemma 2.3, it is enough to show that (Duv  UI) is onto, i.e., for given y ¼ ðyn Þ 2 l1 , we have to find H   x ¼ ðxn Þ 2 l1 such that (Duv  UI) x = y. Now (Duv  UI) x = y, i.e.,

v 0 x1 ¼ y 0 v 1 x2 ¼ y 1 .. .

v i1 xi ¼ yi1 .. . Thus, vn1xn = yn1 for all n P 1 which implies supnjxnj < 1, since y 2 l1 and v = (vk) is a convergent sequence. This shows that the operator (Duv  aI) is onto and hence U 2 C 1 rðDuv ; l1 Þ. h Theorem 5.3. Let u be a constant sequence, say uk = U for all k 2 N0 and a–U; a 2 rr ðDuv ; l1 Þ. Then a 2 C2 rðDuv ; l1 Þ. Proof. It is sufficient to show that the operator (Duv  aI)1 is discontinuous for a – U and a 2 rr ðDuv ; l1 Þ. The operator (Duv  aI)1 is discontinuous by statements (3.9) and (3.10) for U – a 2 C with jU  aj 6 jVj. h Theorem 5.4. Let u be a sequence of distinct real numbers and a 2 rr ðDuv ; l1 Þ. Then a 2 C 2 rðDuv ; l1 Þ
