A bounded linear operator T on a Hilbert space H is concave if, for each x ∈ H , ∥T 2 x∥ 2 −2∥T x∥ 2 +∥x∥ 2 ≤ 0. In this paper, it is shown that if T is a concave operator then so is every power of T. Moreover, we investigate the concavity of shift operators. Furthermore, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for N-supercyclicity of co-concave operators. Finally, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the left and right multiplications to be concave on the Hilbert-Schmidt class.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
