Error-estimates for the method of least squares of finding eigenvalues and eigenfunctions
The paper relates several generalized eigenfunction expansions to classical spectral decomposition properties. From this perspective one explains some recent results concerning the classes of decomposable and generalized scalar operators. In particular a universal dilation theory and two different functional models for related classes of operators are presented.
Two simple methods for approximate determination of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of linear self-adjoint operators are considered in the following two cases: (i) lower-upper bound of the spectrum of is an isolated point of ; (ii) (not necessarily an isolated point of with finite multiplicity) is an eigenvalue of .
The Cauchy dual operator T’, given by , provides a bounded unitary invariant for a closed left-invertible T. Hence, in some special cases, problems in the theory of unbounded Hilbert space operators can be related to similar problems in the theory of bounded Hilbert space operators. In particular, for a closed expansive T with finite-dimensional cokernel, it is shown that T admits the Cowen-Douglas decomposition if and only if T’ admits the Wold-type decomposition (see Definitions 1.1 and 1.2 below)....
