Hungarica, volume 116(1-2)", "categories": [ "math.FA", "math-ph", "math.MP" ], "abstract": "An arbitrary linear relation (multivalued operator) acting from one Hilbert space to another Hilbert space is shown to be the sum of a closable operator and a singular relation whose closure is the Cartesian product of closed subspaces. This decomposition can be seen as an analog of the Lebesgue decomposition of a measure into a regular part and a singular part. The two parts of a relation are characterized metrically and in terms of Stone's characteristic projection onto the closure of the linear relation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2006-11-02T10:05:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "47A05", "47A06" ], "keywords": [ "linear operators", "canonical decomposition", "hilbert space", "stones characteristic projection", "arbitrary linear relation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2006math.....11045H" } } }
