Spectral Approximation Theory for Bounded Linear Operators

In this thesis we examine the approximation theory of the eigenvalue problem of bounded linear operators defined on a Banach space, and its applications to integral and differential equations. Special cases include the degenerate kernel method, projection method, collocation method, the Galerkin method, the method of moments, and the generalized Ritz method for solving integral or differential equations. Given a bounded linear operator, a sequence of bounded linear operator approximations is assumed to converge to it in the operator norm. We examine, among other things, the perturbation of the spectrum of the given operator; criteria for the existence and convergence of approximate eigenvectors and generalized eigenvectors; relations between the dimensions of the eigenmanifolds and generalized eigenmanifolds of the operator and those of the approximate operators.

This textbook introduces spectral theory for bounded linear operators by focusing on (i) the spectral theory and functional calculus for normal operators acting on Hilbert spaces; (ii) the Riesz-Dunford functional calculus for Banach-space operators; and (iii) the Fredholm theory in both Banach and Hilbert spaces. Detailed proofs of all theorems are included and presented with precision and clarity, especially for the spectral theorems, allowing students to thoroughly familiarize themselves with all the important concepts. Covering both basic and more advanced material, the five chapters and two appendices of this volume provide a modern treatment on spectral theory. Topics range from spectral results on the Banach algebra of bounded linear operators acting on Banach spaces to functional calculus for Hilbert and Banach-space operators, including Fredholm and multiplicity theories. Supplementary propositions and further notes are included as well, ensuring a wide range of topics in spectral theory are covered. Spectral Theory of Bounded Linear Operators is ideal for graduate students in mathematics, and will also appeal to a wider audience of statisticians, engineers, and physicists. Though it is mostly self-contained, a familiarity with functional analysis, especially operator theory, will be helpful.
