Uniform Convergence and Spectra of Operators in a Class of Fréchet Spaces

Abstract

Well-known Banach space results (e.g., due to J. Koliha and Y. Katznelson/L. Tzafriri), which relate conditions on the spectrum of a bounded operatorTto the operator norm convergence of certain sequences of operators generated byT, are extended to the class of quojection Fréchet spaces. These results are then applied to establish various mean ergodic theorems for continuous operators acting in such Fréchet spaces and which belong to certain operator ideals, for example, compact, weakly compact, and Montel.
