Abstract: Abstract Which operators are similar to contractions? This is an important and difficult problem in operator theory (see [37, 38] and also [39, p.82]). In the present chapter we shall investigate two subproblems related to that one. For some classes of operators (e.g. compact or spectraloid) power boundedness is a necessary and sufficient condition for similarity to a contraction. However, by using the reducing subspace that was introduced in Foguel decomposition, we shall exhibit in Section 1 a power bounded operator that is not similar to any contraction. Such an operator will be used in turn to construct in Section 2 a strongly stable operator not similar to a contraction.
