In functional analysis, the concept of the spectrum of a bounded operator is a generalisation of the concept of eigenvalues for matrices. Specifically, a complex number λ is said to be in the spectrum of a bounded linear operator ''T'' if λ''I'' − ''T'' is not invertible, where ''I'' is the identity operator. The study of spectra and related properties is known as spectral theory, which has numerous applications, most notably the mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics. The spectrum of an operator on a finite-dimensional vector space is precisely the set of eigenvalues. However an operator on an infinite-dimensional space may have additional elements in its spectrum, and may have no eigenvalues. For example, consider the right shift operator ''R'' on the Hilbert space ℓ2, : This has no eigenvalues, since if ''Rx''=λ''x'' then by expanding this expression we see that ''x''1=0, ''x''2=0, etc. On the other hand 0 is in the spectrum because the operator ''R'' − 0 (i.e. ''R'' itself) is not invertible: it is not surjective since any vector with non-zero first component is not in its range. In fact ''every'' bounded linear operator on a complex Banach space must have a non-empty spectrum. The notion of spectrum extends to densely defined unbounded operators. In this case a complex number λ is said to be in the spectrum of such an operator ''T'':''D''→''X'' (where ''D'' is dense in ''X'') if there is no bounded inverse (λ''I'' − ''T'')−1:''X''→''D''. If ''T'' is a closed operator (which includes the case that ''T'' is a bounded operator), boundedness of such inverses follows automatically if the inverse exists at all. The space of bounded linear operators ''B''(''X'') on a Banach space ''X'' is an example of a unital Banach algebra. Since the definition of the spectrum does not mention any properties of ''B''(''X'') except those that any such algebra has, the notion of a spectrum may be generalised to this context by using the same definition verbatim. ==Spectrum of a bounded operator== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Spectrum (functional analysis)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
