University, Pázmány Péter sétány 1/c., Hungary AB - The parallel sum (Formula presented.) of two bounded positive linear operators A, B on a Hilbert space H is defined to be the positive operator having the quadratic form(Formula presented.)for fixed (Formula presented.). The purpose of this paper is to provide a factorization of the parallel sum of the form (Formula presented.) where (Formula presented.) is the embedding operator of an auxiliary Hilbert space associated with A and B, and P is an orthogonal projection onto a certain linear subspace of that Hilbert space. We give similar factorizations of the parallel sum of nonnegative Hermitian forms, positive operators of a complex Banach space E into its topological anti-dual (Formula presented.), and of representable positive functionals on a (Formula presented.)-algebra. © 2015 Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest, Hungary LA - English DB - MTMT ER - TY - JOUR AU - Titkos, Tamás TI - On Means of Nonnegative Sesquilinear Forms JF - ACTA MATHEMATICA HUNGARICA J2 - ACTA MATH HUNG VL - 143 PY - 2014 SP - 515 EP - 533 PG - 19 SN - 0236-5294 DO - 10.1007/s10474-014-0416-2 UR - https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2569368 ID - 2569368 N1 - Export Date: 2 January 2019 Correspondence Address: Titkos, T.; Department of Applied Analysis, Eötvös Loránd University, Pázmány Péter sétany 1/c, H-1117 Budapest, Hungary; email: titkos@cs.elte.hu Cited By :1 Export Date: 5 September 2019 Correspondence Address: Titkos, T.; Department of Applied Analysis, Eötvös Loránd University, Pázmány Péter sétany 1/c, H-1117 Budapest, Hungary; email: titkos@cs.elte.hu AB - The aim of this paper is to generalize the theory of operator connections for nonnegative sesquilinear forms. As an application, we investigate the case of bounded finitely additive set functions. One of the most important connections in this setting is the parallel sum. We introduce this notion, and in addition, we present a Lebesgue-type decomposition theorem for such functions. © 2014 Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest, Hungary. LA - English DB - MTMT ER -
