Abstract: - Definiteness conditions for multiparameter eigenvalue problems are considered. Multiparameter eigenvalue problem where are self-adjoint, bounded operators on Hilbert space could be learned through the commuting system of self-adjoint operators acting on if the tensor determinant is strongly positive on the tensor product (that is, if problem is right definite). It has been proved that if and for some , then on [3] (for infinite dimensional case see [4,6]). In general, the positivity of in the case is open. In the case problem has been solved in [2]. In this paper we solved this problem for . We solved some problems related with different definite conditions as well.
Key-Words: - positive operators, tensor determinants, multiparameter eigenvalue problems

1 Introduction

The multi-parameter eigenvalue problem of finding =(1,…,n) such that



(1) has been considered by many authors. All authors impose some kind of ”definiteness condition” on the array of operators(Bjk ). We form an operator  on the tensor product H=H1Hn by defining x for a decomposable tensor x=x1xn as x=det(Bjkxj), j,k=1,2,…,n where the determinant is to be expanded formally using the tensor product.  is then extended to all of H by linearity and continuity. We shall denote this operator simply by =det(Bjk).Similarly, we define operators j, which obtained by replacing j-th column of  by the column (A1,A2,..,An).

If  is strongly positive operator on H, then problem (1) can be learned through the (commuting) system of operators {-1j} on Hilbert Space . This leads to the study of what may be appropriately called ”right definite” problems. It has been proved that if , for 0, then  is strongly positive on H [3,7]. In general, question of the positivity of  in the case is open. In this paper we solve this problem for n=3.



2 Non-negative tensor determinants (”weak” right definite case) Definition: A linear operator is said to be (i) positive definite, denoted by if , (ii) strongly positive definite, denoted by if such that , (iii) positive (or non-negative), denoted by if for all . The next theorem seems new one even in finite dimensional case.

Theorem 1. If for all then

Proof. There are two possibilities:

a) for all

b) at least for one decomposed tensor



Proof a). We use mathematical induction. If this statement is trivial. Suppose that the statement is true for the determinants and we must prove for the determinants. Let . If there exists such that , , then it is clear that (One column may be replaced by zero operators). So we assume that for all and at least for one

Let be any fixed non-zero element from and Let, for simplicity, (if all for all then immediately we have for all and By induction we have
since is determinant in fact, and for all decomposed tensors from where Let’s consider the determinant where The cofactor of first entry in this determinant is zero by the induction. Now we find from such that at least for one of (otherwise, we obtain immediately, . The replacement changes just the cofactor of in the first row So we can apply the same procedure again for the determinant Let’s assume that and replace for and After this replacement the cofactor of the second entry in the first row will be zero, but all other cofactors are the same. Continuing this process we make all cofactors of first row zero (or operator itself in the first row is zero). This means that , where is the linear combination of and is the algebraic cofactor of Thus we proved that if for all then

b) Again we use the mathematical induction. The case is trivial. Let its true for the determinants and we prove the statement for the determinants. There exists at least one such that . Consider new operator where . Let’s prove that ( for all decomposable tensors Indeed, can be represented in the form



All determinants on the right hand side are non-negative on decomposed tensors and by induction. But last one is greater than zero by the definition of . Thus on decomposed tensors and therefore, [4,6] On the other hand we have This means that Theorem 1 is proved.

Now we consider the relationship between different definite conditions.

Theorem 2. If for any there exists such that for all j=1,2,...,n

(2)

Then or in

Proof We’ll use the next mathematical induction: Denote by the number of non-strong positive operators in (2). If , that is the number of operators with non-zero kernel is 0, then it is clear that or : Indeed if any finite dimensional subspace of and is the orthoprojector on to then or on [3], and therefore or . Now we assume that the statement of theorem is true if and try to prove in the case . Let and for instance, let has non-zero kernel and consider determinant



where and Then the number of non-strong inequalities in (2) for the determinant will be at most and therefore or by induction. On the other hand determinant

also will be 0 for >0 since the number of non-strong inequalities in (2) for this operator is less than or equal to : Thus we have that or and the Theorem 2 is proved.

3 Positive definite tensor determinants

Theorem 3. If

then for any such that for all



and >0 at least for one j.

Proof. Let be a projector onto some m-dimensional subspace of a space and Then is strongly positive on and therefore, for there exists such that on and [5]. As , it is possible to find a convergent subsequence of a sequence for simplicity, let It’s clear that and .

If there exist vectors such that for all and, for instance, then first column in  can be replaced by and so This contradiction completes the proof of Theorem 3.

Theorem 4. If for all

j,k=1,2,3, then .

Proof. For any given , , there exists such that and at least for one j (for any fixed Consider the 3x4 matrix where In general, there are eight different possibilities for the operators but four of them could be received multiplying the columns of the matrix M by (-1). In the case for some j and k we can replace one of the columns in  by the column and so we get in fact 2x2 determinantal operator and this follows [2]: If for instance, and then =



Let us show that or - is positive on decomposed on tensors For any fixed



if and <0 if since is the 2x2 determinantal operator and always positive or always negative for all non-zero decomposed tensors . Thus or on and so

Now we consider the case for all and . There are at least four positive definite (>0) operators among and therefore there is at least one row in M with two positive definite operators. For example, let and Consider two cases a) and b) or In the case a) we take some and consider the next tensor determinant where . As a 2x2 determinant on H2H3 [2]. There exists an operator , such that [1]. Consider operator

Let us show that for small enough Indeed, for all m =1,2,3,4 we have so that the conditions of the Theorem 2 holds for the operator This means that if then and considering that and we have x=0.

Let’s consider the case b) and let . There exists an operator such that and ([1], (2.25)). Now if we consider the operator where again , we have m=1,2,3,4. (We get using the fact that Theorem 2 implies that Thus and therefore, Then we have since Let is a projector onto the and consider operator on the tensor product





=0 and Now we have As we demonstrated at the beginning of the proof of this theorem if some linear combination of operators in some row is zero then positivity in decomposed tensors and in whole space are equivalent. That is and Theorem is proved.
