Factorizations of linear relations by idempotents

M. Laura Arias, Maximiliano Contino, Stefania Marcantognini

We study the class of those linear relations that can be factorized as products of idempotent relations. We provide several characterizations of this class, extending known factori…

A note on a Halmos problem

Maximiliano Contino, Eva Gallardo-Gutierrez

We address the existence of non-trivial closed invariant subspaces of operators on Banach spaces whenever their square have or, more generally, whether there exists a pol…

Global solutions of approximation problems in Krein spaces

Maximiliano Contino

Three approximation problems in Krein spaces are studied, namely the indefinite weighted least squares problem and the related problems of indefinite abstract splines and smoothing…

Semiclosed multivalued projections

M. Laura Arias, Maximiliano Contino, Alejandra Maestripieri +1

A multivalued projection is an idempotent linear relation with invariant domain. We characterize multivalued projections that are operator ranges (called semiclosed) and provide se…

Matrix representations of multivalued projections and least squares problems

Maria Laura Arias, Maximiliano Contino, Alejandra Maestripieri +1

Multivalued projections are applied to the study of weighted least squares solutions of linear relations equations (or inclusions) and some of its applications. To this end a matri…

Idempotent linear relations

Maria Laura Arias, Maximiliano Contino, Alejandra Maestripieri +1

A linear relation acting on a Hilbert space is idempotent if A triplet of subspaces is needed to characterize a given idempotent: $(\mathrm{ran} \, E, \mathrm{ran}(I-E…

A matrix formula for Schur complements of nonnegative selfadjoint linear relations

Maximiliano Contino, Alejandra Maestripieri, Stefania Marcantognini

If a nonnegative selfadjoint linear relation in a Hilbert space and a closed subspace are assumed to satisfy that the domain of is invariant under the orthogo…

Polyak's theorem on Hilbert spaces

Maximiliano Contino, Guillermina Fongi, Santiago Muro

We extend to infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces a celebrated result, due to B. Polyak, about the convexity of the joint image of quadratic functions. We give sufficient conditions…

Total least squares problems on infinite dimensional spaces

Maximiliano Contino, Guillermina Fongi, Alejandra Maestripieri +1

In this work we study weighted total least squares problems on infinite dimensional spaces. We show that in most cases this problem does not admit a solution (except in the trivial…

Products of positive operators

Maximiliano Contino, Michael A. Dritschel, Alejandra Maestripieri +1

On finite dimensional spaces, it is apparent that an operator is the product of two positive operators if and only if it is similar to a positive operator. Here, the class ${\mathc…

Semiclosed projections and applications

Maximiliano Contino, Alejandra Maestripieri, Stefania Marcantognini

We characterize the semiclosed projections and apply them to compute the Schur complement of a selfadjoint operator with respect to a closed subspace. These projections occur natur…

Global solutions of approximation problems in Hilbert spaces

Maximiliano Contino, Maria Eugenia Di Iorio y Lucero, Guillermina Fongi

We study three well-known minimization problems in Hilbert spaces: the weighted least squares problem and the related problems of abstract splines and smoothing. In each case we an…

Weighted operator least squares problems and the J-trace in Krein spaces

Maximiliano Contino, Alejandra Maestripieri, Stefania Marcantognini

Given B, C and W operators in the algebra L(H) of bounded linear operators on the Krein space H, the minimization problem min (BX - C)^#W(BX - C), for X in L(H), is studied when th…

Schur complements of selfadjoint Krein space operators

Maximiliano Contino, Alejandra Maestripieri, Stefania Marcantognini

Given a bounded selfadjoint operator W on a Krein space H and a closed subspace S of H, the Schur complement of W to S is defined under the hypothesis of weak complementability. A…

Maximiliano Contino, Juan Ignacio Giribet, Alejandra Maestripieri

Let be a Hilbert space, the algebra of bounded linear operators on and a positive operator. Given a closed subsp…

Maximiliano Contino, Alejandra Maestripieri, Stefania Marcantognini

A Krein space H and bounded linear operators B, C on H are given. Then, some min and max problems about the operators (BX - C)^{#}(BX -C), where X runs over the space of all bounde…
