Stable approximate evaluation of unbounded operators (Q859477)

Let \(L\) be an unbounded operator in a Hilbert space. The problem is to evaluate the operator \(L\) on a vector \(x\), which is defined only by its approximations \(x_\delta\) such that \(\| x-x_\delta\| <\delta\). An approach of approximating \(Lx\) by \(S_\delta x_\delta\) is considered, where the \(S_\delta\) are bounded operators constructed from \(L\), in particular, perhaps \(S_\delta=L\).
