Proof Suppose that \( \tau \in \{ 1, - 1\} \) and \( y \in \mathcal{N}\left( {{\left( A \mid {\mathcal{D}}_{2}\right) }^{ * } - \tau \mathrm{i}I}\right) \) . Let \( x \in {\mathcal{D}}_{1} \) . By assumption, \( {e}^{\mathrm{i}{tA}}x \in {\mathcal{D}}_{2} \subseteq \mathcal{D}\left( A\right) \) for \( \left| t\right| <...

The translation group \( \left( {U\left( t\right) f}\right) \left( x\right) = f\left( {x + t}\right), t \in \mathbb{R} \), is a unitary group on \( \mathcal{H} = {L}^{2}\left( \mathbb{R}\right) \) with generator \( \mathrm{i}A \) given by \( \mathrm{i}{Af} = {f}^{\prime } \) for \( f \in \mathcal{D}\left( A\right) = {H...

For all \( h \in \mathbb{R},0 < \left| h\right| < 1 \), the functions \( U\left( h\right) f \) and \( {h}^{-1}\left( {\left( {U\left( h\right) - I}\right) f}\right) \le...

For any \( {u}_{0} \in \mathcal{D}\left( A\right) \), the Cauchy problem of the Schrödinger equation (6.13) has a unique solution, which is given by \[ u\left( t\right) = {e}^{-\mathrm{i}{tA}}{u}_{0},\;t \in \mathbb{R}. \]
Proof That \( u\left( t\right) \) satisfies Eq. (6.13) follows at once from Eq. (6.4). Since obviously \( u\left( 0\right) = {u}_{0}, u\left( t\right) \) solves the Cauchy problem.\n\nTo prove the uniqueness, let \( {u}_{1} \) and \( {u}_{2} \) be two solutions and set \( v \mathrel{\text{:=}} {u}_{1} - {u}_{2} \) .

Proof First we note that \( u\left( t\right) \) is well defined, since \( \mathcal{N}\left( {A}^{1/2}\right) = \{ 0\} \) by the assumption \( \mathcal{N}\left( A\right) = \{ 0\} \) . Proceeding as in the proof of Proposition 6.6, one shows that \( u\left( t\right) \) is in \( {C}^{2}\left( {\mathbb{R},\mathcal{H}}\righ...

Example 6.2 Suppose that \( A \) is a self-adjoint operator on a Hilbert space \( \mathcal{H} \) . Then, by Proposition 6.2, \( \left\{ {{e}^{\mathrm{i}{tA}} : t \geq 0}\right\} \) is a contraction semigroup.
Equations (6.3) and (6.4) say that the operator \( \mathrm{i}A \) is the generator of this contraction semigroup.

Theorem 6.11 A linear operator B on a Banach space \( E \) is generator of a strongly continuous one-parameter contraction semigroup if and only if \( B \) is densely defined, closed, \( \left( {0,\infty }\right) \subseteq \rho \left( B\right) \), and\n\n\[ \begin{Vmatrix}{\left( B - \lambda I\right) }^{-1}\end{Vmatrix...
Proof The necessity of these conditions was already shown by Propositions 6.8 and 6.10. It remains to prove the sufficiency.\n\nLet \( n \in \mathbb{N} \) . Since \( n \in \rho \left( B\right) \), we can define a bounded operator \( {B}_{n} \) on \( E \) by\n\n\[ {B}_{n} \mathrel{\text{:=}} {nB}{\left( nI - B\right) }^...

Theorem 6.12 A linear operator \( B \) on a Hilbert space \( \mathcal{H} \) is the generator of a strongly continuous one-parameter contraction semigroup if and only if \( B \) is \( m \) - dissipative, or equivalently, \( - B \) is \( m \) -accretive.
Proof Combine Theorem 6.11 and Proposition 3.22, applied to - B.\n\nIf \( B \) is the generator of a contraction semigroup \( T \), then in particular \( B \) is dissipative, and hence \( \operatorname{Re}\langle {Bx}, x\rangle \leq 0 \) for \( x \in \mathcal{D}\left( B\right) \) by Definition 3.6. The latter fact can ...

Proposition 6.13 If \( T = \{ T\left( t\right) \} \) is a contraction semigroup on \( \mathcal{H} \) with generator \( B \) , then \( {T}^{ * } \mathrel{\text{:=}} \left\{ {T{\left( t\right) }^{ * }}\right\} \) is also a contraction semigroup whose generator is \( {B}^{ * } \) .
Proof Obviously, \( T{\left( t\right) }^{ * } \) is also a contraction, and axiom (i) of Definition 6.2 holds.\n\nTo prove axiom (ii), it suffices to show that \( \mathop{\lim }\limits_{{t \rightarrow + 0}}{T}^{ * }\left( t\right) x = x \) for \( x \in \mathcal{H} \) .

Proposition 6.15 Two self-adjoint operators \( {A}_{1} \) and \( {A}_{2} \) acting on the Hilbert space \( \mathcal{H} \) commute strongly if and only if \( {e}^{\mathrm{i}t{A}_{1}}{e}^{\mathrm{i}s{A}_{2}} = {e}^{\mathrm{i}s{A}_{2}}{e}^{\mathrm{i}t{A}_{1}} \) for all \( t, s \in \mathbb{R} \) .
Proof First, suppose that \( {A}_{1} \) and \( {A}_{2} \) strongly commute. Let \( {E}_{A} \) be the spectral measure of the pair \( A = \left( {{A}_{1},{A}_{2}}\right) \) (see Theorem 5.23). Then \( {e}^{\mathrm{i}t{A}_{j}} \) is the corresponding spectral integral \( \mathbb{I}\left( {f}_{j, t}\right) \) of the funct...

Theorem 7.2 Suppose that \( T \) is a densely defined closed operator of \( {\mathcal{H}}_{1} \) into \( {\mathcal{H}}_{2} \) . Then there is a partial isometry \( {U}_{T} \) with initial space \( \mathcal{N}{\left( T\right) }^{ \bot } = \overline{\mathcal{R}\left( {T}^{ * }\right) } = \overline{\mathcal{R}\left( \left...
Proof Set \( {U}_{T}\left( {\left| T\right| x}\right) = {Tx} \) for \( x \in \mathcal{D}\left( \left| T\right| \right) \) . By Lemma 7.1, \( {U}_{T} \) is a well-defined isometric linear map of \( \mathcal{R}\left( \left| T\right| \right) \) onto \( \mathcal{R}\left( T\right) \) . It extends by continuity to an isometr...

Example 7.1 (Polar decomposition of a self-adjoint operator) Let \( T \) be a selfadjoint operator on a Hilbert space \( \mathcal{H} \), and let \( T = {U}_{T}\left| T\right| \) be its polar decomposition. Since \( {U}_{T} = {U}_{{T}^{ * }} = {U}_{T}^{ * },{U}_{T} \) is self-adjoint. Let \( {\mathcal{H}}_{0} = \mathcal...
\[ \mathcal{H} = {\mathcal{H}}_{ + } \oplus {\mathcal{H}}_{ - } \oplus {\mathcal{H}}_{0} \] (7.3) Since \( {U}_{T}T = T{U}_{T} \) and \( {U}_{T}\left| T\right| = T = \left| T\right| {U}_{T} \) by the above formulas, the decomposition (7.3) reduces the self-adjoint operators \( T \) and \( \left| T\right| \) . That is, ...

Theorem 7.5 The mapping \( T \rightarrow {Z}_{T} \) is a bijection of \( \mathcal{C}\left( \mathcal{H}\right) \) onto \( \mathcal{Z}\left( \mathcal{H}\right) \) with inverse given by \( Z \rightarrow {T}_{Z} \) . Both mappings preserve adjoints, that is, \( {\left( {Z}_{T}\right) }^{ * } = {Z}_{{T}^{ * }} \) and \( {\l...
Proof From Lemma 5.8 we already know that the map \( T \rightarrow {Z}_{T} \) takes \( \mathcal{C}\left( \mathcal{H}\right) \) into \( \mathcal{Z}\left( \mathcal{H}\right) \) and that \( {Z}_{T}^{ * } = {Z}_{{T}^{ * }} \) and \( {\left( I + {T}^{ * }T\right) }^{-1} = I - {Z}_{T}^{ * }{Z}_{T} \) . Therefore, it suffices...

Corollary 7.7 Let \( {\left( {m}_{n}\right) }_{n \in {\mathbb{N}}_{0}} \) be a positive sequence such that\n\n\[ \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{n = 1}}^{\infty }{m}_{n}^{-1/n} = \infty \]\n\n(7.22)\n\nSuppose that \( f \in {C}^{\infty }\left( \mathcal{J}\right) \) and there is a constant \( {K}_{f} > 0 \) such that (7.20) is ...
Proof Since obviously \( {m}_{n}^{1/n} \geq \mathop{\inf }\limits_{{k \geq n}}{m}_{k}^{1/k} \) ,(7.22) implies (7.21), so \( C\left\{ {m}_{n}\right\} \) is a quasi-analytic class by Proposition 7.6. This gives the assertion.
No
Example 7.2 \( {\left( {m}_{n} = n!\right) }_{n \in \mathbb{N}} \) Since \( n! \leq {n}^{n} \), the sequence \( {\left( n!\right) }_{n \in {\mathbb{N}}_{0}} \) satisfies (7.21) and (7.22), so \( C\{ n!\} \) is a quasi-analytic class. But any function \( f \in C\{ n!\} \) has a holomorphic extension to some strip \( \{ ...
Using the latter fact, the assertion of Corollary 7.7 is well known in this special case.
No
Example 7.3 (log convex sequences) Let \( {\left( {m}_{n}\right) }_{n \in {\mathbb{N}}_{0}} \) be a positive sequence such that \( {m}_{0} = 1 \) and\n\n\[ \n{m}_{n}^{2} \leq {m}_{n - 1}{m}_{n + 1}\;\text{ for }n \in \mathbb{N}.\n\]\n\n(7.23)\n\nCondition (7.23) means that \( {\left( \log {m}_{n}\right) }_{n \in {\math...
It is well known and easily checked that then \( {m}_{n}^{1/n} \leq {m}_{k}^{1/k} \) for \( n \leq k \), so \( {m}_{n}^{1/n} = \mathop{\inf }\limits_{{k \geq n}}{m}_{k}^{1/k} \) . Therefore, by Proposition 7.6, in this case \( C\left\{ {m}_{n}\right\} \) is a quasi-analytic class if and only if \( \mathop{\sum }\limits...

Proof Let \( x \in {\mathcal{D}}^{s}\left( T\right) \) . Since \( {\lambda x} \in {\mathcal{D}}^{s}\left( T\right) \) for \( \lambda \in \mathbb{C} \), we can assume without loss of generality that \( {Tx} \neq 0 \) and \( \parallel x\parallel = 1 \) .

If the space \( {\mathcal{D}}^{a}\left( T\right) \) of analytic vectors for \( T \) is dense in \( \mathcal{H} \), then \( T \) is essentially self-adjoint. If \( T \) is closed, then \( T \) is self-adjoint if and only if \( {\mathcal{D}}^{a}\left(...

Lemma 7.21 Suppose that \( {T}_{1} \) and \( {T}_{2} \) are densely defined and closable. Then \( {T}_{1} \odot {T}_{2} \) is also densely defined and closable, and we have \( {\left( {T}_{1} \odot {T}_{2}\right) }^{ * } \supseteq {T}_{1}^{ * } \odot {T}_{2}^{ * } \) .
Proof Since \( {T}_{1} \) and \( {T}_{2} \) are densely defined and closable, \( {T}_{1}^{ * } \) and \( {T}_{2}^{ * } \) are densely defined by Theorem 1.8(i).
