Higher order spectral shift (Q2391270): Difference between revisions

The authors construct higher order spectral shift functions, extending the perturbation theory results of M.\,G.\thinspace Krein and L.\,S.\thinspace Koplienko on representations for the remainders of the first and second order Taylor-type approximations of operator functions. The higher order spectral shift functions represent the remainders of higher order Taylor-type approximations; they can be expressed recursively via the lower order ones. The results are obtained in the semi-infinite von Neumann algebra setting, with perturbations taken in the Hilbert--Schmidt class of the algebra.
