Download or read book Positive Operators and Semigroups on Banach Lattices written by C.B. Huijsmans and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last twenty-five years, the development of the theory of Banach lattices has stimulated new directions of research in the theory of positive operators and the theory of semigroups of positive operators. In particular, the recent investigations in the structure of the lattice ordered (Banach) algebra of the order bounded operators of a Banach lattice have led to many important results in the spectral theory of positive operators. The contributions contained in this volume were presented as lectures at a conference organized by the Caribbean Mathematics Foundation, and provide an overview of the present state of development of various areas of the theory of positive operators and their spectral properties. This book will be of interest to analysts whose work involves positive matrices and positive operators.
