These necessary conditions are often sufficient as well. This thesis investigates such properties in finite dimensional and infinite dimensional Banach spaces. In addition, we investigate whether approximate spectral mapping conditions (being "close" in some sense) is similarly a sufficient condition.application/pdf625248 bytesapplication/pdfenCopyright: 2006, Davidson, Colin.
