Abstract

By an elementary proof, we use a result of Conway and Dudziak to show that if A is a hyponormal operator with spectral radius r(A) such that its spectrum is the closed disc {z:|z| ≤ r(A)} then A is reflexive. Using this result,  we give a simple proof of a result of Bercovici, Foias,  and Pearcy on reflexivity of shift operators. Also,  it is shown that every power of an invertible bilateral weighted shift is reflexive.
