| Description: Define the sum of two
Hilbert space operators. Definition of [Beran]
p. 111.
Note on operators. Unlike some authors, we use the term
"operator" to
mean any function from to . This
is the definition of
operator in [Hughes] p. 14, the
definition of operator in
[AkhiezerGlazman] p. 30, and the
definition of operator in [Goldberg]
p. 10. For Reed and Simon, an operator is linear (definition of
operator in [ReedSimon] p. 2). For
Halmos, an operator is bounded and
linear (definition of operator in [Halmos] p. 35). For Kalmbach and
Beran, an operator is continuous and linear (definition of operator in
[Kalmbach] p. 353; definition of
operator in [Beran] p. 99). Note that
"bounded and linear" and "continuous and linear" are
equivalent by
