A conjecture on hyponormality for the Cesàro matrix of positive integer order

Abstract

It is already known that the Cesàro matrices of orders one and two are coposinormal, hyponormal operators on ${\ell }^2$. Here it is shown that the Cesàro matrices of order three and four are also coposinormal, hyponormal; the proofs employ posinormality, achieved by means of a diagonal interrupter, and elementary computational techniques from calculus. A conjecture is then propounded for the Cesàro matrix of positive integer order greater than four.
