dc.description.abstract | This thesis makes novel contributions to a problem of practical and theoretical
importance, namely how to determine explicitly computable upper bounds for
the Hausdorff distance of the spectra of two compact operators on a Hilbert
space in terms of the distance of the two operators in operator norm.
It turns out that the answer depends crucially on the speed of decay of the
sequence of singular values of the two operators. To this end, ‘compactness
classes’, that is, collections of operators the singular values of which decay at a
certain speed, are introduced and their functional analytic properties studied
in some detail.
The main result of the thesis is an explicit formula for the Hausdorff distance
of the spectra of two operators belonging to the same compactness class.
Along the way, upper bounds for the resolvents of operators belonging to a
particular compactness class are established, as well as novel bounds for determinants
of trace class operators. | en_US |
