REMARKS CONCERNING SOME GENERALIZED CESÀRO OPERATORS ON ℓ²

Here we see that the $p-Ces{\grave{a}}ro$ operators, the generalized $Ces{\grave{a}}ro$ operators of order one, the discrete generalized $Ces{\grave{a}}ro$ operators, and their adjoints are all posinormal operators on ${\ell}^2$, but many of these operators are not dominant, not normaloid, and not spectraloid. The question of dominance for $C_k$, the generalized $Ces{\grave{a}}ro$ operators of order one, remains unsettled when ${\frac{1}{2}}{\leq}k<1$, and that points to some general questions regarding terraced matrices. Sufficient conditions are given for a terraced matrix to be normaloid. Necessary conditions are given for terraced matrices to be dominant, spectraloid, and normaloid. A very brief new proof is given of the well-known result that $C_k$ is hyponormal when $k{\geq}1$.
