Let $\mathcal{L}(H)$ denote the algebra of all bounded linear operators on a complex infinite dimensional Hilbert space $H$ into itself. Given $A,B\in \mathcal{L}(H)$, the generalized derivation $\delta_{A,B}\in \mathcal{L}(\mathcal{L}(H))$ is defined by $\delta_{A,B}(X)=AX-XB$. For hyponormal operators $A$ and $B$, L.A. Fialkow gave necessary conditions for which the range of $\delta_{A,B}$ is norm closed in $\mathcal{L}(H)$ [13]. In this paper, we present necessary or sufficient conditions under which the generalized derivation $\delta_{A,B}$ has closed range, where $A$ and $B$ are $p$-hyponormal operators. We give a characterization for the range of $\delta_{A,B}$ to have closed range in the case when $A$ and $B$ are cyclic subnormal operators.

In this paper, we prove that the space of strongly \((r, p, \sigma)\)-summable sequences is the topological dual of the space of \((p, \sigma)\)-weakly summable sequences. As an application, we provide a new proof that an operator \( T: E \to F \) is \((p, \sigma)\)-absolutely continuous if and only if its adjoint \( T^*: F^* \to E^* \) is strongly \((p^*, \sigma)\)-continuous.

In this manuscript we define $A$-double density of a given point in $\mathbb{R}$ for double sequences. We state the relation between double density of a point and spliced double sequences and also examine limit points in view of density of a point.

Let us consider the scattering theory of one-dimensional Schrödinger equation defined by piecewise constant potentials with compact support. We construct the asymptotics of reflection coefficient by iterating the transition matrices. The jump points of the step potential appear in the asymptotics of reflection coefficient. Accordingly, we investigate the modulus of reflection coefficient. The modulus is connected to the zero set of reflection coefficient via Nevanlinna-Levin type of representation theorem. The growth theory of zero set of the reflection coefficient plays a role.
