Abstract

Let α:1,1,x,(u,v,w) be a backward 3-step extension of a recursively generated weighted sequence of positive real numbers with 1xuvw and let Wα be the associated weighted shift with weight sequence α. The set of positive real numbers x such that Wα is quadratically hyponormal for some u,v and w, is described, solving an open problem due to Curto and Jung [‘Quadratically hyponormal weighted shifts with two equal weights’, Integr. Equ. Oper. Theory 37 (2000), 208–231]. DOI: 10.1017/S0004972713000920
