A bounded operator T on H is called a λ-Toeplitz operator if <Tem+1 , en+1> =λ <Tem , en> (where <‧,‧> is the inner product on H).If the function φ can be represented as a linear combination of the above orthonormal basis with the coefficients an=<Te0 ,en >, n≥ 0,and an=<Telnl ,e0 >, n<0, then we call this the symbol of T . The subject arises naturally from a special case of the operator equation S*AS =λA + B; where S is a shift on H , and in this operator equation the matrix A can solve a special set of simultaneous equations. It is also clear that the well-known Toeplitz operators are precisely the solutions of S*AS = A, when S is the unilateral shift.In this paper,we will review the similarities and differences between λ-Toeplitz operators and Toeplitz operators. The main purpose is to generalize the well-known Coburn''s characterization for the essential spectrum(or,the same in this case,spectrum)for Toeplitz operators to λ-Toeplitz operators.
