Finite section method in a space with two norms (Q1686843): Difference between revisions

Weaker norm estimates often simplify the analysis of concrete operators, helping to locate spectra, obtain resolvent estimates, prove stability and so on. It is natural to ask how the finite rank truncations (i.e. the Galerkin approximations) of a given operator behave when modifying the inner space structure. The present article is a direct continuation of \textit{H. Kang} and \textit{M. Putinar}'s unpublished paper [``Spectral permanence in a space with two norms'', Preprint], building on some theoretical results outlined there. In the present paper, the finite central truncations of a given matrix with respect to two non-equivalent Hilbert space norms are compared. While the limit sets of the finite sections spectra are merely located via numerical range bounds, the weak \(*\)-limits of the counting measures of these spectra are proven in general to be gravi-equivalent with respect to the logarithmic potential in the complex plane. Classical methods of factorization of Volterra type or Wiener-Hopf type operators lead to a series of effective criteria of asymptotic equivalence, or uniform boundedness of the two sequences of truncations. Examples from function theory, integral equations and potential theory complement the theoretical results.
