K. Latrach et A. Jeribi, SOME RESULTS ON FREDHOLM OPERATORS, ESSENTIAL SPECTRA, AND APPLICATION, Journal of mathematical analysis and applications (Print), 225(2), 1998, pp. 461-485
In this paper, after a characterization of a class of bounded Fredholm
operators on Banach spaces, we investigate the essential spectra of c
losed, densely defined linear operators on L-p, spaces. The obtained r
esults are used to describe the essential spectra of one-dimensional t
ransport equations with general boundary conditions. (C) 1998 Academic
