) Let T be a normal operator on a finite dimensional Hilbert space H
with spectrum𝜆1, 𝜆2, … … , 𝜆𝑚 , . Then prove that
i) T is self - adjoint⟺ each 𝜆𝑖,,is real
ii) T is positive ⟺ each 𝜆𝑖 ≥ 0
iii) T is unitary ⟺ 𝜆𝑖 =1 for each .
A complex number λ ∈ C is called an eigenvalue of T ∈ B(H) if there exists a vector 0 x ∈ H such that Tx = λx
i)
Let λ be an eigenvalue of T and x be the corresponding eigenvector. Then Tx = λx.
Since x 0, we have λ =
ii)
T is positive if
then Tx = λx
iii)
