The typical operations involved in rewriting equations into systems are then neither defined classically nor consistently extendible to the distribution theoretic setting. However, employing the nonlinear theory of generalized functions in the sense of Colombeau we arrive at clear statements about the transfer of questions concerning solvability and uniqueness from wave equations to symmetric hyperbolic systems and vice versa. Finally, we illustrate how this transfer method allows to draw new conclusions on unique solvability of the Cauchy problem for wave equations with non-smooth coefficients.

We show that all bounded E-linear operators on W are reduced by a suitable Hilbert space contained in W. This enables us to describe bounded E-linear operators by lifting the appropriate results from Hilbert space theory. In particular, generalized compact E-linear operators are characterized.

It is proved that any function T: W → W which preserves the absolute value of the A-valued inner product is of the form Tv = φ(v)Uv, v ∈ W, where φ is a phase function and U is an A-linear isometry. The result generalizes Molnár's extension of Wigner's classical unitary-antiunitary theorem.

Research paper thumbnail of Which operators approximately annihilate orthonormal basesΦ

Acta Scientiarum Mathematicarum

Math. 7, 254-281 (1971; Zbl 0224.47009)] implies that a bounded operator A on a separable Hilbert space H is compact if and only if it satisfies lim n Ae n =0, or equivalently, lim n (Ae n |e n )=0 for each orthonormal basis (e n ) for H. In the present note this theorem is reproved using the fact observed by Halmos that each sequence of unit vectors weakly converging to 0 approximately contains an orthonormal subsequence. It is also noted that the stronger version of the theorem remains true, namely without the continuity assumption on A. In the second part of the note the bounded operators for which there exists an orthonormal basis such that either of the above equalities holds are exhibited and completely described.

Let X be a Hilbert C *-module over A. We prove that any function F : X → X which preserves the absolute value of the A-valued inner product on X is of the form F (x) = ϕ(x)U x, x ∈ X, where ϕ is a phase function and U is an A-linear isometry. The result generalizes Wigner's classical unitary-antiunitary theorem and its extension to Hilbert K(H)-modules.

In the second section the Busby invariant for extensions of Hilbert C *-modules is introduced and it is proved that each extension is uniquely determined, up to isomorphism, by the corresponding Busby map. The induced extensions of the underlying C *algebras as well as of the corresponding linking algebras are also discussed. The paper ends with a Hilbert C *-module version of a familiar result which states that a C *-algebra is projective if and only if it is corona projective. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. 46C50, 46L08. Key words and phrases. Hilbert C *-module, adjointable operator, extension, multiplier algebra.

This generalizes an earlier result of Sato and Watari. If f denotes the probability density function concerned, the inequality we prove is thatunder the conditions β > α 1 and 1/(β+1) < γ ≤ 1.

The soilless substrates were initially evaluated for pH and EC, and then estimated for total organic carbon by dry combustion method, total nitrogen by Kjeldahl digestion method, potassium by atomic absorption and phosphorus by colorimetric method. The hydrological properties of substrates were estimated by Keen-Rackzowski box method. The desirable level of physical properties of-3 bulk density (0.47 gm cm), particle density (0.63 gm-3 cm), total porosity (75.81%) and chemical properties of-1 pH (6.23), EC (5.02 dS m), total organic carbon (36.39 %), and other properties were noticed under cocopith. The maximum level of water holding capacity (769.30 %) and volume of expansion (185.78 %) was registered by cocopith. Cocopith has favourable hydrological properties with desirable level of physical and chemical properties, which makes it the best medium for soilless agriculture. Coconut fiber is a characteristic natural fiber from the external husk of coconut and its extraction process also without polluting nature.
