Abstract
The project will study class of n-power operators and their properties. The study will focus n-power normal operators, n-power hyponormal operators, n- power posinormal operators, n-power quasi-normal operators and n-power quasi- isometry operators. We shall look at their basic properties as well as their spectral and numerical properties.

Introduction
1.1 Literature Review
Operator theory including its subtopics such as spectral theory came into focus after 1900.Around this time, Fredholm’s report on the theory of integral equa- tions was published. He gave a complete analysis of integral equations which he referred to as Fredholm’s equations that extended results from linear algebra to a class of operators. He also defined the determinant to a class of operators and was the first to use the term resolvent operator.
1902, Lebesque introduced an important category of spaces known as LP . Around the same time, Hilbert founded spectral theory as a result of a series of articles by Fredholm. Now, the word ”spectrum” was adopted by Hilbert in 1897 from an article by Wilhelm Wirtinger. Hilbert used the notion of integral equations and found results underL2spaces,square-integrable functions and discussed also some results for the scenario where integral operator was symmetric. In 1906, Hilbert discovered continuous spectrum,a work away from integral equations.
Around 1913, Frigyes Riez,introduced the concept of algebra of operators where he studied of bounded operators on the Hilbert space L2.In his work,he intro- duced other concepts like Riez representation theorem, orthogonal projectors and spectral integrals.
In 1916, Riez found the theory of completely continuous operators now referred to as compact operators. He further extended Fredholm’s work on the spectral theorem of compact operators. Further developments came in between 1929-32 when spectral theorem of self-adjoint and normal operators were discovered by Marshall Stone and John Von Neumann.
Neumann also introduced concepts that are widely used in operator theory like closure of an operator, adjoint operators, unbounded operators and extension of operators. In 1932, Stefan Banach published a first text on operator theory which included the closed-graph theorem, Weak convergence and the fixed point theorem.
Israil Gel’fand in 1941 extended the spectral theorem to elements of a normed algebra and introduced the spectral radius formula as well as C - algebra and the character of an algebra.
Since Gel’fand’s time, operator theory has been an enormous branch of Mathne- matics. Many authors have defined new classes of operators and new interesting results have been captured. Patel and Ramanujan (1981) introduced and stud- ied normal operators. An operator T is called normal if T T = TT
Adnan Jibril(2008) extended the notion of normal operators to n-power nor- mal operators and showed that an operator T B(H) is n-power normal operator if and only if Tn is normal. An operator T is n-power normal if T commutes with Tn, that is TnT = T Tn.
A. brown in 1953 introduced the concept of quasi-normal operator. An op- erator T is quasi-normal if T commutes with T T . Sid Ahmed(2011) studied the concept of n-power quasi-normal operators as an extention quasi-normal oper- ators. An operator TB(H) is n-power quasi-normal if Tn commutes with T T .
Panayappan and Sivaman(2012) coined the concept of n-binormal operators.P.R Halmos and Stampfli introduced hyponormal operators in 1962. T is called hy- ponormal if TT ≥T T
Guesba et al. extended the concept of hyponormal operators to n-power hy- ponormal operators in 2016. An operator T is called n-power-hyponormal if TT ≥T T
.
In this project, we shall study the fundamental properties of n-power operators. For each class of n-power operator, we shall study their subclasses and spectral and numerical range properties where applicable.
