We prove that $I+\\lambda B$ is locally topologically transitive if and only if $|\\lambda |>2$. This, shows that a classical result of Salas, which says that backward shift perturbations of the identity operator are always hypercyclic, or equivalently topologically transitive, on $l^p(\\mathbb{N})$, $1\\leq p<+\\infty$, fails to hold for the notion of local topological transitivity on $l^{\\infty}(\\mathbb{N})$. We also obtain further results which complement certain results from \\cite{CosMa}.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-02-07T12:58:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "47A16" ], "keywords": [ "supremum norm", "backward shift perturbations", "local topological transitivity", "complement", "complex numbers" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1302.1736C" } } }
