In mathematics , operatortheory is the branch of functional analysis that focuses on bounded linear operator s, but which includes closed operator s and nonlinear operator s. Operatortheory also includes the study of linear algebra algebra s of operators. Single operatortheory Single operatortheory deals with the properties and classification of single operators. For example, the classification of normal operator s in terms of their spectrum of an operator spectra falls into this category. Operator algebras The theory of operator algebra s brings algebra over a field algebra s of operators such as C algebra s to the fore.

In mathematics , operator K theory is a variant of K theory on the Category mathematics category of Banach algebras In most applications, these Banach algebras are C algebras .

This means that it associates to an Algebraic extension extension of C algebra s to a long exact sequence , which, by Bott periodicity, reduces to an exact cyclic 6 term sequence.

Unreferenced date December 2009 In operatortheory , a multiplication operator is a linear operator T defined on some function space vector space of functions and whose value at a function is given by multiplication by a fixed function f . That is, math T varphi x f x varphi x quad math for all in the function space and all x in the domain mathematics domain of which is the same as the domain of f . This type of operators is often contrasted with composition operator s. Multiplication operators generalize the notion of operator given by a diagonal matrix . More precisely, one of the results of operatortheory is a spectral theorem , which states that every self adjoint operator on a Hilbert space is unitarily equivalent to a multiplication operator on an Lp space L sup 2 sup space .

No footnotes date September 2011 Expert subject linguistics article date September 2011 In linguistics , an operator is a special variety of determiner linguistics determiner including the interrogative word visible interrogatives , the quantifier s, and the hypothetical invisible pronoun denoted Op . Operators are differentiated from other determiners by their ability to produce topicalization and to have trace linguistics trace s that jump over other trace chains. In English, the wh words are considered visible operators . Acceptance of invisible operators in syntactic theory has been justified on the basis of visible operators or topic marker s in languages such as Japanese language Japanese . All operators are subject to the bijection principle , first proposed by Koopman and Sportiche Every operator A binds exactly one variable and every variable is A bound by exactly one operator. In classical government and binding theory , an operator is usually understood to be a wh word or a quantifier in an A position. Examples Who said he killed John? Everyone likes someone.

Unreferenced date July 2009 In operatortheory , a bounded operator T on a Hilbert space is said to be nilpotent if T sup n sup 0 for some n . It is said to be quasinilpotent or topological nilpotent if its spectrum functional analysis spectrum T 0 . Examples In the finite dimensional case, i.e. when T is a square matrix with complex entries, T 0 if and only if T is similar to a matrix whose only nonzero entries are on the superdiagonal, by the Jordan canonical form . In turn this is equivalent to T sup n sup 0 for some n . Therefore, for matrices, quasinilpotency coincides with nilpotency. This is not true when H is infinite dimensional. Consider the Volterra operator , defined as follows consider the unit square X 0,1 × 0,1 R sup 2 sup , with the Lebesgue measure m . On X , define the kernel function K by math K x,y left begin matrix 1, & mbox if x geq y 0, & mbox otherwise . end matrix right. math The Volterra operator is the corresponding integral operator T on the Hilbert space L sup 2 sup X , m given by math T f x int 0 1 K x,y f y dy. math The operator T is not nilpotent take f to be the function that is 1 everywhere and direct calculation shows that T sup n sup f 0 in the sense of L sup 2 sup for all n . However, T is quasinilpotent. First notice that K is in L sup 2 sup X , m , therefore T is compact operator on Hilbert space compact . By the spectral properties of compact operators, any nonzero in T is an eigenvalue. But it can be shown that T has no nonzero eigenvalues, therefore T is quasinilpotent.
