Weyl`s Spectrum And Quasisimilarity Of Dominant, M-hyponormal And Biquasitriangular Operators
In this paper our tasks is twofold: First we investigate the conditions under which two quasi-similar dominant and biquasitriangular operators having Durnford`s property (C) have equal Weyl spectrum and under which quasisimilar M-hyponormal operator without property (C) have equal Weyl spectrum. Secondly we look at the possibility of which above classes of operators being quasi-similarity invariant.
