Two classes of operators with irreducibility and the small and compact perturbations of them

This paper gives the concepts of finite dimensional irreducible operators ((FDI) operators) and infinite dimensional irreducible operators ((IDI) operators). Discusses the relationships of (FDI) operators, (IDI) operators and strongly irreducible operators ((SI) operators) and illustrates some properties of the three classes of operators. Some sufficient conditions for the finite-dimensional irreducibility of operators which have the forms of upper triangular operator matrices are given. This paper proves that every operator with a singleton spectrum is a small compact perturbation of an (FDI) operator on separable Banach spaces and shows that every bounded linear operator T can be approximated by operators in (.FDI)(X) with respect to the strong-operator topology and every compact operator K can be approximated by operators in (.FDI)(X) with respect to the norm topology on a Banach space X with a Schauder basis, where (.FDI)(X):= {T . B(X): T = . k i=1 .T i , T i . (FDI), k . .}.
