(i) If \( f \in {H}^{1}\left( {0, + \infty }\right) \), then \( \mathop{\lim }\limits_{{b \rightarrow + \infty }}f\left( b\right) = 0 \) .
Proof We prove (i). The proof of (ii) is similar. Formula (1.13) yields\n\n\[ \n{\int }_{0}^{b}\left( {f\left( t\right) \overline{{f}^{\prime }\left( t\right) } + {f}^{\prime }\left( t\right) \overline{f\left( t\right) }}\right) {dt} = {\left| f\left( b\right) \right| }^{2} - {\left| f\left( 0\right) \right| }^{2} \n\]...

Lemma 1.12 Let \( \mathcal{J} \) be an open interval, and let \( c \) be in the closure of \( \mathcal{J} \) . For any \( \varepsilon > 0 \), there is a constant \( {b}_{\varepsilon } > 0 \) such that\n\n\[ \left| {f\left( c\right) }\right| \leq \varepsilon \begin{Vmatrix}{f}^{\prime }\end{Vmatrix} + {b}_{\varepsilon }...
Proof For notational simplicity, assume that \( c \) is not the left end point of \( \mathcal{J} \) . Take \( a \in \mathcal{J}, a < c \), and a function \( \eta \in {C}_{0}^{\infty }\left( \mathbb{R}\right) \) such that \( \eta \left( c\right) = 1,\eta \left( a\right) = 0 \), and \( \left| {\eta \left( t\right) }\righ...

Statement \( \mathcal{D}\left( {T}^{ * }\right) = {H}^{1}\left( {0, + \infty }\right) \) and \( {T}^{ * }g = - \mathrm{i}{g}^{\prime } \) for \( g \in \mathcal{D}\left( {T}^{ * }\right) \) .
Proof Suppose that \( g \in {H}^{1}\left( {0, + \infty }\right) \) and let \( f \in \mathcal{D}\left( T\right) \) . Since \( f\left( 0\right) = 0 \), formula (1.19) yields \( \left\langle {{f}^{\prime }, g}\right\rangle + \left\langle {f,{g}^{\prime }}\right\rangle = 0 \) . Hence, \( \langle {Tf}, g\rangle = \left\lang...

Proof Since \( f, g \in {C}_{0}^{\infty }\left( \Omega \right) \), we can choose a bounded open subset \( \widetilde{\Omega } \) of \( \Omega \) with \( {C}^{\infty } \) -boundary such that \( \operatorname{supp}f \subseteq \widetilde{\Omega } \) and \( \operatorname{supp}g \subseteq \widetilde{\Omega } \) .

Proof Let \( f \in \mathcal{D}\left( {L}_{\max }\right) \) . Then Eq. (1.21) can be written as \( \left\langle {{L}_{\max }f,\varphi }\right\rangle = \langle \mathcal{L}f,\varphi \rangle = \) \( \left\langle {f,{\left( {L}^{ + }\right) }_{0}\varphi }\right\rangle \) for \( \varphi \in \mathcal{D}\left( {\left( {L}^{ + ...

Proof All assertions are easily derived from the corresponding definitions. As a sample, we prove that (iv) implies (iii). By (1.23) we have \( {P}_{0}\mathcal{D}\left( T\right) \subseteq \mathcal{D}\left( T\right) \) . Let \( {x}_{0} \in \mathcal{D}\left( T\right) \cap {\mathcal{H}}_{0} \) .

Proposition 1.17 Let \( T \) be a closed symmetric operator on \( \mathcal{H} \).

Proposition 2.1 Let \( T \) be a linear operator on \( \mathcal{H} \), and \( \lambda \in \mathbb{C} \). (i) \( \lambda \in \pi \left( T\right) \) if and only if \( T - {\lambda I} \) has a bounded inverse \( {\left( T - \lambda I\right) }^{-1} \) defined on \( \mathcal{R}\left( {T - {\lambda I}}\right) \) . In this ca...
Proof (i): First suppose that \( \lambda \in \pi \left( T\right) \) . Then \( \mathcal{N}\left( {T - {\lambda I}}\right) = \{ 0\} \) by (2.1), so the inverse \( {\left( T - \lambda I\right) }^{-1} \) exists.

Lemma 2.3 If \( \mathcal{F} \) and \( \mathcal{G} \) are closed linear subspaces of a Hilbert space \( \mathcal{H} \) such that \( \dim \mathcal{F} < \dim \mathcal{G} \), then there exists a nonzero vector \( y \in \mathcal{G} \cap {\mathcal{F}}^{ \bot } \) .
Proof In this proof we denote by \( \left| M\right| \) the cardinality of a set \( M \) . First, we suppose that \( k = \dim \mathcal{F} \) is finite. We take a \( \left( {k + 1}\right) \) -dimensional subspace \( {\mathcal{G}}_{0} \) of \( \mathcal{G} \) and define the mapping \( \Phi : {\mathcal{G}}_{0} \rightarrow \...

Proposition 2.4 Suppose that \( T \) is a closable linear operator on \( \mathcal{H} \) . Then the defect number \( {d}_{\lambda }\left( T\right) \) is constant on each connected component of the open set \( \pi \left( T\right) \) .
Proof By Proposition 2.1(iii), we can assume without loss of generality that \( T \) is closed. Then \( \mathcal{R}\left( {T - {\mu I}}\right) \) is closed for all \( \mu \in \pi \left( T\right) \) by Proposition 2.1(iv). Therefore, setting \( {\mathcal{K}}_{\mu } \mathrel{\text{:=}} \mathcal{R}{\left( T - \mu I\right)...

Lemma 2.5 Let \( T \) be a linear operator on \( \mathcal{H} \). If \( \lambda \in \mathbb{C} \) is not in the closure of \( \Theta \left( T\right) \), then \( \lambda \in \pi \left( T\right) \).
Proof Set \( {\gamma }_{\lambda } \mathrel{\text{:=}} \operatorname{dist}\left( {\lambda ,\Theta \left( T\right) }\right) > 0 \). For \( x \in \mathcal{D}\left( T\right) ,\parallel x\parallel = 1 \), we have\n\n\[ \parallel \left( {T - {\lambda I}}\right) x\parallel \geq \left| {\langle \left( {T - {\lambda I}}\right) ...

(i) \( \rho \left( T\right) = \left\{ {\lambda \in \pi \left( T\right) : {d}_{\lambda }\left( T\right) = 0}\right\} \) .
Proof (i) follows at once from Proposition 2.1,(i) and (iv). Since \( \pi \left( T\right) \) is open and \( {d}_{\lambda }\left( T\right) \) is locally constant on \( \pi \left( T\right) \) by Proposition 2.4, the assertion of (i) implies that \( \rho \left( T\right) \) is open. Hence, \( \sigma \left( T\right) = \math...

Proposition 2.7 Let \( T \) be a closed operator on \( \mathcal{H} \). (i) \( \rho \left( T\right) \) is the set of all numbers \( \lambda \in \mathbb{C} \) such that \( T - {\lambda I} \) is a bijective mapping of \( \mathcal{D}\left( T\right) \) on \( \mathcal{H} \) (or equivalently, \( \mathcal{N}\left( {T - {\lambd...
Proof (i): Clearly, \( T - {\lambda I} \) is bijective if and only if the inverse \( {\left( T - \lambda I\right) }^{-1} \) exists and is everywhere defined on \( \mathcal{H} \). It remains to prove that \( {\left( T - \lambda I\right) }^{-1} \) is bounded if \( T - {\lambda I} \) is bijective. Since \( T \) is closed,...

Proposition 2.8 Let \( T \) be a closed operator on \( \mathcal{H} \). Let \( \mathcal{U} \) be a connected open subset of \( \mathbb{C} \smallsetminus \overline{\Theta \left( T\right) } \). If there exists a number \( {\lambda }_{0} \in \mathcal{U} \) which is contained in \( \rho \left( T\right) \), then \( \mathcal{...
Proof By Lemma 2.5 we have \( \mathcal{U} \subseteq \pi \left( T\right) \). Therefore, since \( T \) is closed, it follows from Proposition 2.1(iv) that \( \mathcal{R}\left( {T - {\lambda I}}\right) \) is closed in \( \mathcal{H} \) for all \( \lambda \in \mathcal{U} \). By Proposition 2.4, the defect number \( {d}_{\l...

Statement \( \sigma \left( {M}_{\varphi }\right) \) is the closure of the set \( \varphi \left( \mathcal{J}\right) \).
Proof Let \( \lambda \in \varphi \left( \mathcal{J}\right) \), say \( \lambda = \varphi \left( {t}_{0}\right) \) for \( {t}_{0} \in \mathcal{J} \). Given \( \varepsilon > 0 \), by the continuity of \( \varphi \) there exists an interval \( K \subseteq \mathcal{J} \) of positive length such that \( \left| {\varphi \left...

Proposition 2.9 Suppose that \( {\lambda }_{0} \in \rho \left( T\right) ,\lambda \in \mathbb{C} \), and \( \left| {\lambda - {\lambda }_{0}}\right| < {\begin{Vmatrix}{R}_{{\lambda }_{0}}\left( T\right) \end{Vmatrix}}^{-1} \) . Then we have \( \lambda \in \rho \left( T\right) \) and\n\n\[ \n{R}_{\lambda }\left( T\right)...
Proof As stated in Proposition 2.1(i),(2.1) holds with \( {c}_{{\lambda }_{0}} = {\begin{Vmatrix}{R}_{{\lambda }_{0}}\left( T\right) \end{Vmatrix}}^{-1} \), so that \( \left| {\lambda - {\lambda }_{0}}\right| < {c}_{{\lambda }_{0}} \) by our assumption. Therefore, \( \lambda \in \pi \left( T\right) \) and \( {d}_{\lamb...

Example 2.2 Suppose that \( M \) is a nonempty closed subset of \( \mathbb{C} \). Since \( \mathbb{C} \) is separable, so is \( M \), that is, there exists a countable subset \( \left\{ {{r}_{n} : n \in \mathbb{N}}\right\} \) of \( M \) which is dense in \( M \). Define the operator \( T \) on \( {l}^{2}\left( \mathbb{...
It is easily seen that \( \mathcal{D}\left( T\right) = \mathcal{D}\left( {T}^{ * }\right) \) and \( {T}^{ * }\left( {x}_{n}\right) = \left( {\overline{{r}_{n}}{x}_{n}}\right) \) for \( \left( {x}_{n}\right) \in \mathcal{D}\left( {T}^{ * }\right) \). Hence, \( T = {T}^{* * } \), so \( T \) is closed. Each number \( {r}_...

Proposition 2.11 Suppose that there exists a \( {\lambda }_{0} \in \rho \left( T\right) \) such that \( {R}_{{\lambda }_{0}}\left( T\right) \) is compact. Then \( {R}_{\lambda }\left( T\right) \) is compact for all \( \lambda \in \rho \left( T\right) \), and \( T \) has a purely discrete spectrum.
Proof The compactness of \( {R}_{\lambda }\left( T\right) \) follows at once from the resolvent identity (2.5). By Theorem A. 3 all nonzero numbers in the spectrum of the compact operator \( {R}_{{\lambda }_{0}}\left( T\right) \) are eigenvalues of finite multiplicities which have no nonzero accumulation point. By Prop...

Lemma 3.1 \( T \) is symmetric if and only if \( \langle {Tx}, x\rangle \) is real for all \( x \in \mathcal{D}\left( T\right) \) .
Proof If \( T \) is symmetric, then \( \langle {Tx}, x\rangle = \langle x,{Tx}\rangle = \overline{\langle {Tx}, x\rangle } \), so \( \langle {Tx}, x\rangle \in \mathbb{R} \) . Conversely, if \( \langle {Tx}, x\rangle \) is real for all \( x \in \mathcal{D}\left( T\right) \), it follows immediately from the polarization...
