A linear operator : between two topological vector spaces (TVSs) is called a bounded linear operator or just bounded if whenever is bounded in then () is bounded in . A subset of a TVS is called bounded (or more precisely, von Neumann bounded) if every neighborhood of the origin absorbs it.
Bounded linear operators over a Banach space form a Banach algebra in respect to the standard operator norm. The theory of Banach algebras develops a very general concept of spectra that elegantly generalizes the theory of eigenspaces.
Thus a unitary operator is a bounded linear operator that is both an isometry and a coisometry, [1] or, equivalently, a surjective isometry. [2] An equivalent definition is the following: Definition 2. A unitary operator is a bounded linear operator U : H → H on a Hilbert space H for which the following hold: U is surjective, and
A bounded linear operator T : H → H is Hilbert–Schmidt if and only if the same is true of the operator | |:=, in which case the Hilbert–Schmidt norms of T and |T| are equal. [5] Hilbert–Schmidt operators are nuclear operators of order 2, and are therefore compact operators. [5]
The space of bounded linear operators B(X) on a Banach space X is an example of a unital Banach algebra. Since the definition of the spectrum does not mention any properties of B(X) except those that any such algebra has, the notion of a spectrum may be generalised to this context by using the same definition verbatim.
In its basic form, it asserts that for a family of continuous linear operators (and thus bounded operators) whose domain is a Banach space, pointwise boundedness is equivalent to uniform boundedness in operator norm. The theorem was first published in 1927 by Stefan Banach and Hugo Steinhaus, but it was also proven independently by Hans Hahn.
In functional analysis, the open mapping theorem, also known as the Banach–Schauder theorem or the Banach theorem [1] (named after Stefan Banach and Juliusz Schauder), is a fundamental result that states that if a bounded or continuous linear operator between Banach spaces is surjective then it is an open map.
By definition, a linear map : between TVSs is said to be bounded and is called a bounded linear operator if for every (von Neumann) bounded subset of its domain, () is a bounded subset of it codomain; or said more briefly, if it is bounded on every bounded subset of its domain.
