Subnormal Operator
In mathematics, especially operator theory, subnormal operators are bounded operators on a Hilbert space defined by weakening the requirements for normal operators. Some examples of subnormal operators are isometry, isometries and Toeplitz operators with analytic symbols. Definition Let ''H'' be a Hilbert space. A bounded operator ''A'' on ''H'' is said to be subnormal if ''A'' has a normal extension. In other words, ''A'' is subnormal if there exists a Hilbert space ''K'' such that ''H'' can be embedded in ''K'' and there exists a normal operator ''N'' of the form :N = \begin A & B\\ 0 & C\end for some bounded operators :B : H^ \rightarrow H, \quad \mbox \quad C : H^ \rightarrow H^. Normality, quasinormality, and subnormality Normal operators Every normal operator is subnormal by definition, but the converse is not true in general. A simple class of examples can be obtained by weakening the properties of unitary operators. A unitary operator is an isometry with dense set, de ...

Mathematics
Mathematics is a field of study that discovers and organizes methods, Mathematical theory, theories and theorems that are developed and Mathematical proof, proved for the needs of empirical sciences and mathematics itself. There are many areas of mathematics, which include number theory (the study of numbers), algebra (the study of formulas and related structures), geometry (the study of shapes and spaces that contain them), Mathematical analysis, analysis (the study of continuous changes), and set theory (presently used as a foundation for all mathematics). Mathematics involves the description and manipulation of mathematical object, abstract objects that consist of either abstraction (mathematics), abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicspurely abstract entities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. Mathematics uses pure reason to proof (mathematics), prove properties of objects, a ''proof'' consisting of a succession of applications of in ...

Range Of A Function
In mathematics, the range of a function may refer either to the codomain of the function, or the image of the function. In some cases the codomain and the image of a function are the same set; such a function is called ''surjective'' or ''onto''. For any non-surjective function f: X \to Y, the codomain Y and the image \tilde Y are different; however, a new function can be defined with the original function's image as its codomain, \tilde: X \to \tilde where \tilde(x) = f(x). This new function is surjective. Definitions Given two sets and , a binary relation between and is a function (from to ) if for every element in there is exactly one in such that relates to . The sets and are called the '' domain'' and ''codomain'' of , respectively. The ''image'' of the function is the subset of consisting of only those elements of such that there is at least one in with . Usage As the term "range" can have different meanings, it is considered a good practice to define ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Polar Decomposition
In mathematics, the polar decomposition of a square real or complex matrix A is a factorization of the form A = U P, where U is a unitary matrix, and P is a positive semi-definite Hermitian matrix (U is an orthogonal matrix, and P is a positive semi-definite symmetric matrix in the real case), both square and of the same size. If a real n \times n matrix A is interpreted as a linear transformation of n-dimensional space \mathbb^n, the polar decomposition separates it into a rotation or reflection U of \mathbb^n and a scaling of the space along a set of n orthogonal axes. The polar decomposition of a square matrix A always exists. If A is invertible, the decomposition is unique, and the factor P will be positive-definite. In that case, A can be written uniquely in the form A = U e^X, where U is unitary, and X is the unique self-adjoint logarithm of the matrix P. This decomposition is useful in computing the fundamental group of (matrix) Lie groups. The polar decompos ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Quasinormal Operator
In operator theory, quasinormal operators is a class of bounded operators defined by weakening the requirements of a normal operator. Every quasinormal operator is a subnormal operator. Every quasinormal operator on a finite-dimensional Hilbert space is normal. Definition and some properties Definition Let ''A'' be a bounded operator on a Hilbert space ''H'', then ''A'' is said to be quasinormal if ''A'' commutes with ''A*A'', i.e. :A(A^*A) = (A^*A) A.\, Properties A normal operator is necessarily quasinormal. Let ''A'' = ''UP'' be the polar decomposition of ''A''. If ''A'' is quasinormal, then ''UP = PU''. To see this, notice that the positive factor ''P'' in the polar decomposition is of the form (''A*A''), the unique positive square root of ''A*A''. Quasinormality means ''A'' commutes with ''A*A''. As a consequence of the continuous functional calculus for self-adjoint operators, ''A'' commutes with ''P'' = (''A*A'') also, i.e. :U P P = P U P.\, So ''UP = PU'' on the ...

Unitary Dilation
In operator theory, a dilation of an operator ''T'' on a Hilbert space ''H'' is an operator on a larger Hilbert space ''K'', whose restriction to ''H'' composed with the orthogonal projection onto ''H'' is ''T''. More formally, let ''T'' be a bounded operator on some Hilbert space ''H'', and ''H'' be a subspace of a larger Hilbert space '' H' ''. A bounded operator ''V'' on '' H' '' is a dilation of T if :P_H \; V , _H = T where P_H is an orthogonal projection on ''H''. ''V'' is said to be a unitary dilation (respectively, normal, isometric, etc.) if ''V'' is unitary (respectively, normal, isometric, etc.). ''T'' is said to be a compression of ''V''. If an operator ''T'' has a spectral set X, we say that ''V'' is a normal boundary dilation or a normal \partial X dilation if ''V'' is a normal dilation of ''T'' and \sigma(V)\subseteq \partial X. Some texts impose an additional condition. Namely, that a dilation satisfy the following (calculus) property: :P_H \; f(V) , _H = f(T) ...

Unilateral Shift
In mathematics, and in particular functional analysis, the shift operator, also known as the translation operator, is an operator that takes a function to its translation . In time series analysis, the shift operator is called the '' lag operator''. Shift operators are examples of linear operators, important for their simplicity and natural occurrence. The shift operator action on functions of a real variable plays an important role in harmonic analysis, for example, it appears in the definitions of almost periodic functions, positive-definite functions, derivatives, and convolution. Shifts of sequences (functions of an integer variable) appear in diverse areas such as Hardy spaces, the theory of abelian varieties, and the theory of symbolic dynamics, for which the baker's map is an explicit representation. The notion of triangulated category is a categorified analogue of the shift operator. Definition Functions of a real variable The shift operator (where ) takes ...

Dense Set
In topology and related areas of mathematics, a subset ''A'' of a topological space ''X'' is said to be dense in ''X'' if every point of ''X'' either belongs to ''A'' or else is arbitrarily "close" to a member of ''A'' — for instance, the rational numbers are a dense subset of the real numbers because every real number either is a rational number or has a rational number arbitrarily close to it (see Diophantine approximation). Formally, A is dense in X if the smallest closed subset of X containing A is X itself. The of a topological space X is the least cardinality of a dense subset of X. Definition A subset A of a topological space X is said to be a of X if any of the following equivalent conditions are satisfied: The smallest closed subset of X containing A is X itself. The closure of A in X is equal to X. That is, \operatorname_X A = X. The interior of the complement of A is empty. That is, \operatorname_X (X \setminus A) = \varnothing. Every point in X eith ...

Operator Theory
In mathematics, operator theory is the study of linear operators on function spaces, beginning with differential operators and integral operators. The operators may be presented abstractly by their characteristics, such as bounded linear operators or closed operators, and consideration may be given to nonlinear operators. The study, which depends heavily on the topology of function spaces, is a branch of functional analysis. If a collection of operators forms an algebra over a field, then it is an operator algebra. The description of operator algebras is part of operator theory. Single operator theory Single operator theory deals with the properties and classification of operators, considered one at a time. For example, the classification of normal operators in terms of their spectra falls into this category. Spectrum of operators The spectral theorem is any of a number of results about linear operators or about matrices. In broad terms the spectral theorem provides cond ...

Unitary Operator
In functional analysis, a unitary operator is a surjective bounded operator on a Hilbert space that preserves the inner product. Non-trivial examples include rotations, reflections, and the Fourier operator. Unitary operators generalize unitary matrices. Unitary operators are usually taken as operating ''on'' a Hilbert space, but the same notion serves to define the concept of isomorphism ''between'' Hilbert spaces. Definition Definition 1. A ''unitary operator'' is a bounded linear operator on a Hilbert space that satisfies , where is the adjoint of , and is the identity operator. The weaker condition defines an ''isometry''. The other weaker condition, , defines a ''coisometry''. Thus a unitary operator is a bounded linear operator that is both an isometry and a coisometry, or, equivalently, a surjective isometry. An equivalent definition is the following: Definition 2. A ''unitary operator'' is a bounded linear operator on a Hilbert space for which the followi ...

Normal Extension
In abstract algebra, a normal extension is an Algebraic extension, algebraic field extension ''L''/''K'' for which every irreducible polynomial over ''K'' that has a zero of a function, root in ''L'' splits into linear factors over ''L''. This is one of the conditions for an algebraic extension to be a Galois extension. Nicolas Bourbaki, Bourbaki calls such an extension a quasi-Galois extension. For Finite extension, finite extensions, a normal extension is identical to a splitting field. Definition Let ''L/K'' be an algebraic extension (i.e., ''L'' is an algebraic extension of ''K''), such that L\subseteq \overline (i.e., ''L'' is contained in an algebraic closure of ''K''). Then the following conditions, any of which can be regarded as a definition of normal extension, are equivalent: * Every Embedding (field theory), embedding of ''L'' in \overline over ''K'' induces an automorphism of ''L''. * ''L'' is the splitting field of a family of polynomials in K[X]. * Every irreducibl ...
