Bilateral shorted operators and parallel sums

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this paper we study shorted operators relative to two different subspaces, for bounded operators on infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces. We define two notions of complementability in the sense of Ando for operators, and study the properties of the shorted operators when they can be defined. We use these facts in order to define and study the notions of parallel sum and substraction, in this Hilbertian context.


The authors discuss some properties of bilateral shorted operators. In particular, they obtain relations among bilateral shorted operators, weakly complemented operators, and the parallel sum between two operators. Some of the results were already shown by other authors in special settings, for example, in the cases of finite-dimensional spaces, positive matrices, or self-adjoint matrices. In the present paper, the authors consider suitable definitions for the case of infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces and prove some results in this general setting.
