Abstract
If T is a closed, densely defined linear operator in a Banach space, F. E. Browder has defined the essential spectrum of T, ess (T) [1]. We derive below spectral mapping theorems and perturbation theorems for Browder’s essential spectrum. If T is a bounded linear operator and/is a function analytic on a neighborhood of the spectrum of T, we prove that f(ess (T)) = ess (f(T)). If T is a closed, densely defined linear operator with nonempty resolvent set and /is a polynomial, the same theorem holds. For a closed, densely defined linear operator T and a bounded linear operator B which commutes with T, we prove that ess (T+B) Íess (T) + ess (B) = {m, + v: M Î ess (T), v Î ess (B)}. By making additional assumptions, we obtain an analogous theorem for B unbounded.
