## Abstract The paper is devoted to the investigation of the Helmholtz operators describing the propagation of acoustic waves in non‐homogeneous space. We consider the operator __A__ with a wave number __k__ such that where __k__~0~ is a positive function, __k__~±~ are complex constants with ℑ︁

Abstract
In Banach spaces ordered by a normal cone that contains interior points the positive invertibility of operators is studied. If there exists a uniformly positive functional then any positively invertible operator A possesses a B ‐decomposition, i.e., a positive decomposition A = U – V with the properties: U^–1^ exists, VU^–1^ ≥ 0, Ax ≥ 0, U x ≥ 0 imply x ≥ 0 and r (VU^–1^) < 1. Earlier it was shown that the existence of a B ‐decomposition with r (VU^–1^) < 1 is sufficient for the positive invertibility of the operator A. Peris' result is obtained as a special case of the main theorem. The decomposition is demonstrated for a positively invertible operator in a Banach space ordered by an ice cream cone (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

This paper deals with Volterra perturbations of normal operators in a separable Hilbert space. Invertibility conditions and estimates for the norm of the inverse operators are established. In addition, bounds for the spectrum are suggested. Applications to integral, integro-differential, and matrix
We provide sufficient conditions for a sequence of positive linear approximation operators, L n ( f, x), converging to f (x) from above to imply the convexity of f. We show that, for the convolution operators of Feller type, K n ( f, x), generated by a sequence of iid random variables taking values
Let G be a locally compact commutative group and let g and h be positive definite functions on G, which are not identically zero. We show that continuity of gh implies the existence of a character y of Gd (the discrete version of G) such that yg and y h are continuous. As corollary we get a special
## Abstract Helmholtz' theorem initiates a remarkable development in the theory of projection methods that are adapted to the numerical solution of equations in fluid dynamics and elasticity. There is a dense connection with Hodge‐de Rham decompositions of smooth 1‐forms. We give an overview of thi
