Synopsis

The stability of several natural subsets of the bounded non-semi-Fredholm operators undercompact perturbations were studied by R. Bouldin [2] in separable Hilbert spaces and by M. Gonzales and V. M. Onieva [6] in Banach spaces. The aim of this paper is to study this problem for closed operators in operator ranges. The main results are a characterisation of the non-semi-Fredholm operators with respect to α-closed and α-compact operators as well as a generalisation of a result of M. Goldman [5]. We also give some applications of the theory developed to ordinary differential operators.
