Finite Dimensional Case

We recall that a bounded linear operator T in a Hilbert space or finite-dimensional unitary space is said to be normal if T commutes with its adjoint operator T*, i.e. TT* = T*T. Most of the proofs given in the literature for the spectral theorem for normal operators, even in the finite-dimensional case, appeal to the corresponding results for Hermitian or unitary operators.

Absolutely Continuous

AbstractWell-bounded operators are those which possess a bounded functional calculus for the absolutely continuous functions on some compact interval. Depending on the weak compactness of this functional calculus, one obtains one of two types of spectral theorem for these operators. A method is given which enables one to obtain both spectral theorems by simply changing the topology used. Even for the case of well-bounded operators of type (B), the proof given is more elementary than that previously in the literature.
