Formula for the kernel of an operator
Let $\mathcal H$ be a Hilbert space and let $O$ be an operator. Obviously $M=O^\dagger O$ is a semi-positive definite operator and $v\in\ker M$ if and only if $v\in\ker O$. Therefore it seems to me ...

Measurability of eigenvalues-eigenvectors of a positive compact operator
Let $H$ be a separable Hilbert space over $\mathbb{R}$. Let ${A} = \{a\colon H\to H\,|\,a\text{ is a positive, compact linear operator}\}$.
By the spectral theorem, given $a \in A$, there are scalars $...

Why does the normalization term disappear when computing the MLE of decomposed Gaussians
Computing the Maximum Likelihood Estimator of Gaussians in arbitrary finite Hilbert spaces seems no easy task and I must admit to lamentably fail at it. The classical theory most often relies on ...

Spectral theorems for generalized Hermitian matrices
Let $k$ be a field, and let $\sigma$ be a nontrivial involutory automorphism of $k$. Let $A$ be a square matrix with entries in $k$, such that $(A^{\sigma})^T = A$; here $A^\sigma$ means the matrix $(...

Convergence rate of eigenvectors
Let us suppose that $A,A_1,A_2,\ldots$ are non-negative definite self-adjoint bounded linear operators in $L(\mathbb H)$, where $\mathbb H$ is a separable Hilbert space. $(v_j)_{j\ge1}$ and $(\...

Algorithm for finding eigenfunctions
I have an $ L^2(\mathbb{R}) $ operator that looks like
$$
\Omega = \int \partial\phi(a, b)\ \ |b, a\rangle \langle b, a |,
$$
where $ \langle x | a, b \rangle = f_a(x - b) e^{x^2/2} $ and $ f_a \in L^...

Countability of eigenvalues of a linear operator
Is it true that every closed operator on a separable Hilbert H space only has countably many eigenvalues?
Or put the other way around, if I want to ensure that a (not necessarily bounded) linear ...

Coercive Symmetric Bilinear form on a Hilbert space
I need to show one of the two following equivalent results. If true, it must be a simple proof but I do not seem to be able to make it work. Thank you in advance.
1) Consider a continuous symmetric ...
