In the first part of this paper we show that, under some conditions, a polynomially demicompact operator can be demicompact. An example involving the Caputo fractional derivative of order ${\alpha}$ is provided. Furthermore, we give a refinement of the left and the right Weyl essential spectra of a closed linear operator involving the class of demicompact ones. In the second part of this work we provide some sufficient conditions on the inputs of a closable block operator matrix, with domain consisting of vectors which satisfy certain conditions, to ensure the demicompactness of its closure. Moreover, we apply the obtained results to determine the essential spectra of this operator.

Let (equation omitted) denote the class of bounded linear Hilbert space operators with the property that $\midA^2\mid\geq\midA\mid^2$. In this paper we show that (equation omitted)-operators are finitely ascensive and that, for non-zero operators A and B, A (equation omitted) B is in (equation omitted) if and only if A and B are in (equation omitted). Also, it is shown that if A is an operator such that p(A) is in (equation omitted) for a non-trivial polynomial p, then Weyl's theorem holds for f(A), where f is a function analytic on an open neighborhood of the spectrum of A.
