Parallel sum

From MaRDI portal





The author investigates algebraic properties of the parallel sum of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space under weaker conditions than the ones studied in the literature, so far. In studying parallel summable operators \(A\) and \(B\), a frequently made assumption is that the range of the operator \(A + B\) is closed. It is shown that the parallel sum can be expressed as \(A(A + B)^{\dag}B\) without this closedness assumption, thereby relaxing conditions under which certain results hold. Here, the symbol \(\dag\) denotes the Moore-Penrose inverse. Some important results for parallel sums that hold under weaker conditions are proved. Finally, an interesting recent result known for Hermitian positive semi-definite matrices is extended to the case of bounded linear operators.
