we consider the space of weakly almost periodic functions on a transformation semigroup (s, x , ?) and show that if x is a locally compact noncompact uniform space, and ? is a separately continuous, separately proper, and equicontinuous action of s on x, then every continuous function on x, vanishing at infinity is weakly almost periodic. we also use a number of diverse examples to show that th...

The monodromy operator of a linear delay differential equation with periodic coefficients is formulated as an integral operator. The kernel of this operator includes a factor formed from the fundamental solution of the linear delay differential equation. Although the properties of the fundamental solutions are known, in general there is no closed form for the fundamental solution. This paper de...

We introduce a new class of operator algebras on Hilbert space. To each bounded linear operator a spectral algebra is associated. These algebras are quite substantial, each containing the commutant of the associated operator, frequently as a proper subalgebra. We establish several sufficient conditions for a spectral algebra to have a nontrivial invariant subspace. When the associated operator ...
