Exercises for Chapter 8<br />

Exercise 8.1. Prove Theorem 8.2(2)–(4).<br />

Exercise 8.2. Show that if ∆1 and ∆2 are disjo<strong>in</strong>t <strong>in</strong>tervals and<br />

{Et}t∈R a resolution of the identity, then the ranges of E∆1 and E∆2<br />

are orthogonal. Generalize to the case when ∆1 and ∆2 are arbitrary<br />

Borel sets <strong>in</strong> R.<br />

Exercise 8.3. Show the converse of Theorem 8.3, i.e., if the spectrum<br />

consists of isolated eigen-values of f<strong>in</strong>ite multiplicity, then the<br />

resolvent is compact.<br />

H<strong>in</strong>t: Let λ1, λ2, . . . be the eigenvalues ordered by <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g absolute<br />

value and repeated accord<strong>in</strong>g to multiplicity and let the correspond<strong>in</strong>g<br />

normalized eigen-vectors be e1, e2, . . . . Show that Rλu2 = |〈u,ej〉| 2<br />

|λ−λj| 2<br />

and use this to see that Rλuk → 0 if uk ⇀ 0.<br />

Exercise 8.4. Prove the last statement of Lemma 8.6.<br />

Exercise 8.5. Verify all claims made <strong>in</strong> Example 8.8.<br />

Exercise 8.6. Let T be a selfadjo<strong>in</strong>t operator. Show that if the<br />

resolvent Rλ of T is a <strong>Hilbert</strong>-Schmidt operator and λj, j = 1, 2, . . .<br />

are the non-zero eigenvalues of T , then ∞ j=1 λ−2 j < ∞.
