Density of mixing identity-plus-bilateral-shift perturbations
Determine whether the set of mixing operators \(\{I+B_w\in\mathcal{M}: w\in c_0(\mathbb{Z})\}\) is dense in \(\mathcal{M}\) endowed with the norm topology, where \(\mathcal{M}=\{I+B_w\in\mathcal{L}(\ell_p(\mathbb{Z})):w\in c_0(\mathbb{Z})\}\) and \(1<p<\infty\).

We end this section with the following natural question:
When X=\ell_p(\mathbb{Z}), 1< p<\infty and \mathcal{M}={I+B_w \colon w\in c_0(\mathbb{Z})}\subset (\mathcal{L} (X),|\cdot|), endowed with the norm topology, is {I+B_w \in \mathcal{M} \colon I+B_w \text{ is mixing } } dense in \mathcal{M}?
