Let \(C(X,Y)\) be the set of all closed operators with domain and range in the Banach spaces \(X\) and \(Y\), respectively. A pair \((S,T)\) in \(C(X,Y)\times C(Y,X)\) is a Fredholm pair if the operators \(S\) and \(T\) are continuous and the quantities \(a(S, T):= \dim N(S)/N(S)\cap R(T)\), \(b(S,T):= \dim R(T)/N(S)\cap R(T)\), \(a(T,S)\) and \(b(T,S)\) are finite. The index of the pair is \(\text{ind}(S,T):= a(S,T)- b(S,T)- a(T,S)+ b(T,S)\). It was previously known that the set of all Fredholm pairs in \(C(X,Y)\times C(Y,X)\) is stable under perturbations which are small with respect to the noncompactness measure. Here, the author shows that the index is preserved in such perturbations. Certain extensions of the result to Fredholm complexes of closed (not necessarily bounded) operators are also obtained.
