Abstract

A sufficient condition is given under which the sum, product and indeed any polynomial combination of a well-bounded operator and a commuting real scalar-type spectral operator is well-bounded. This generalizes a result of Gillespie for Hilbert space operators. It is shown in particular that if $X$ is a UMD space, then the sum of finitely many commuting real scalar-type spectral operators acting on $X$ is a well-bounded operator (a result which fails on general reflexive Banach spaces).
