Some cyclic and non-cyclic vectors of certain operators

HM Hilden, LJ Wallen - Indiana University Mathematics Journal, 1974 - JSTOR
§ 1. Introduction and notation. The cyclic vectors of the backward unila shift on H2 have
been exhaustively studied by Douglas, Shapiro, and Shie in [1], One of the many striking …

Powers of partial isometries

PR Halmos, LJ Wallen - Journal of Mathematics and Mechanics, 1970 - JSTOR
Introduction. One-parameter semigroups of unitary operators on a Hilbert space are characterized
by Stone's theorem [4]; the corresponding characteriza tion for isometries was given …

The commutants of certain Hilbert space operators

AL Shields, LJ Wallen, PR Halmos - Indiana University Mathematics Journal, 1971 - JSTOR
Let T be a bounded linear transformation on Hilbert space and let d (T) denote the weakly
closed algebra with identity generated by T, that is, the closure of the polynomials in T in the …

Subnormal weighted shifts and the Halmos-Bram criterion

R Gellar, LJ Wallen - Proceedings of the Japan Academy, 1970 - jstage.jst.go.jp
The question of when a weighted shift is subnormal was treated by JG Stampfii in a paper
called" which weighted shifts are subnormal"[1]. In that paper, an explicit matricial construction …

Kepler, the taxicab metric, and beyond: An isoperimetric primer

Wallen Larry Wallen learned the beauty of mathematics from Everett Pitcher at Lehigh,
from Witold Hurewicz at MIT (which generously gave him a doctorate), and mainly from Paul …

[PDF][PDF] A measure of asymmetry for domains of constant width

H Groemer, LJ Wallen - Beiträge Algebra Geom, 2001 - webdoc.sub.gwdg.de
We introduce for convex domains of constant width a measure of asymmetry and show that
the most asymmetric domains are Reuleaux triangles. Measures of (central) symmetry, or, as …

The effect of di-isopropyl fluorophosphate on normal human eyes

ROYO SCHOLZ, LJ Wallen - Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental …, 1946 - ASPET
1. Two groups of men were exposed to di-isopropyl fluorophosphate vapor for a CT of 165
and 244 respectively. Ocular signs and symptoms caused by direct conjunctival absorption …

Volterra operator J (Jf (x)= fof (t) dt) by the equation J= Jl Stdt or, what comes to the same
thing, i\J (I—iKJ)~ 1= foe {KtStdt. These formulas, together with the uniqueness of the Fourier …

Fourier-Stieltjes transforms tending to zero

LJ Wallen - Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, 1970 - ams.org
Let $\mu $ be a Borel measure on the circle, $\hat\mu $ its Fourier transform. It is shown that
a certain thinness condition on the positive part of the support of $\hat\mu $ forces a power …

All the way with Wirtinger: a short proof of Bonnesen's inequality

LJ Wallen - The American Mathematical Monthly, 1987 - Taylor & Francis
Wirtinger's inequality (given below) is a useful tool in the analytic treatment of plane convex
bodies (ovals). The venerable isoperimetric inequality, for example, is an easy consequence …
