In this paper, we prove that into isometries and disjointness preserving linear maps from<i>C</i>₀(<i>X</i>) into<i>C</i>₀(<i>Y</i>) are essentially weighted composition operators<i>Tf</i>=<i>h</i><i>f</i> for some continuous map and some continuous scalar-valued function<i>h</i>.

In this paper, we introduce a new class of generalized co-complementarity problems in Banach spaces. An iterative algorithm for finding approximate solutions of these problems is considered. Some convergence results for this iterative algorithm are derived and several existence results are obtained.

We present the recent work on the noncommutative Fourier transform for subfactors and locally compact quantum groups, a Survey.We give a short introduction to subfactors and locally compact quantum groups and their properties;the Hausdorff-Young inequality and its extremal functions;Young's inequality and its extremal pairs;uncertainty principles and its minimizers;a noncommutative sum set theorem.

Let X be a locally compact Hausdorff space, and T be a disjointness preserving bounded linear operator on C0 (X). We give a sufficient and necessary condition of T being power compact. Moreover, a description of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of T is given.

Let <i>T</i> be a compact disjointness preserving linear operator from <i>C</i>₀(<i>X</i>) into <i>C</i>₀(<i>Y</i>), where <i>X</i> and <i>Y</i> are locally compact Hausdorff spaces. We show that <i>T</i> can be represented as a norm convergent countable sum of disjoint rank one operators. More precisely, <i>T</i> = _<i>n</i> <i></i> <i>h_n</i> for a (possibly finite) sequence {<i>x_n</i> }_<i>n</i> of distinct points in <i>X</i> and a norm null sequence {<i>h_n</i> }_<i>n</i> of mutually disjoint functions in <i>C</i>₀(<i>Y</i>). Moreover, we develop a graph theoretic method to describe the spectrum of such an operator ( 2009 WILEYVCH Verlag GmbH &amp; Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
