On extremal positive operator extensions

From MaRDI portal





In Theorem 1, the authors describe the domain and the range of the square root of the smallest positive self-adjoint extension (Krein-von Neumann extension) of a positive linear map defined on a linear subspace of a Hilbert space. In Theorem 2, a similar characterization is given concerning the largest positive self-adjoint extension (Friedrichs extension) of a densily defined operator. Finally, Theorem 3 describes the range of the square root of the largest positive extension with the smallest possible norm in case a bounded positive extension exists. The proofs are based on elementary, nevertheless skilful and witty arguments.
