Two closed densely defined operators
Two closed densely defined operators T and S on a Hilbert space such that T + S isn't closable.
******************************
Consider a separable infinite dimensional Hilbert space H with an orthonormal basis
(xn). Let D = {h Î H ;ån = 1¥ n4| < h,xn > |2 < ¥} , z = ån = 2¥ n-1xn, and define the operators S and T with the domain
D, which is dense in H, by
Sh = |
¥ å
n = 2
|
n2 < h,xn > xn , Th = Sh+ < Sh,z > x1 (h Î D). |
|
Then -S and T are closed densely defined and T + (-S) isn't closable. (cf. Problem 2.8.43 of [K&R1])
