Abstract: The parallel sum A:B of two bounded positive linear operators A,B on a Hilbert space H is defined to be the positive operator having the quadratic form �egin{equation*} inf{(A(x-y),|,x-y)+(By,|,y),|,yin H} end{equation*} for fixed xinH. The purpose of this paper is to provide a factorization of the parallel sum of the form JAPJA where JA is the embedding operator of an auxiliary Hilbert space associated with A and B, and P is an orthogonal projection onto a certain linear subspace of that Hilbert space. We give similar factorizations of the parallel sum of nonnegative Hermitian forms, positive operators of a complex Banach space E into its topological anti-dual , and of representable positive functionals on a -algebra.
