A construction of Lomonosov functions and applications to the invariant subspace problem

Aleksander Simonič

Vol. 175 (1996), No. 1, 257–270
Abstract

In this paper we give a constructive proof of an abstract approximation theorem inspired by the celebrated result of V. I. Lomonosov. This theorem is applied to obtain an alternative proof of some recent characterizations of the invariant subspace problem. We also establish density of non-cyclic vectors for the dual of a set of compact quasinilpotent operators, and conclude with the open problem of obtaining a similar result for the original set, rather than its dual.
