چکیده

These are notes from two lectures given in MATH 27200, Basic Functional Analysis, at the University of Chicago in March 2010. The proof of the spectral theorem for compact operators comes from [Zim90, Chapter 3]. 1. The Spectral Theorem for Compact Operators The idea of the proof of the spectral theorem for compact self-adjoint operators on a Hilbert space is very similar to the finite-dimensional case. Namely, we first show that an eigenvector exists, and then we show that there is an orthonormal basis of eigenvectors by an inductive argument (in the form of an application of Zorn’s lemma). We first recall a few facts about self-adjoint operators. Proposition 1.1. Let V be a Hilbert space, and T : V → V a bounded, self-adjoint operator. (1) If W ⊂ V is a T -invariant subspace, then W⊥ is T -invariant. (2) For all v ∈ V , 〈Tv, v〉 ∈ R. (3) Let Vλ = {v ∈ V | Tv = λv}. Then Vλ ⊥ Vμ whenever λ 6= μ. We will need one further technical fact that characterizes the norm of a self-adjoint operator. Lemma 1.2. Let V be a Hilbert space, and T : V → V a bounded, self-adjoint operator. Then ‖T‖ = sup{|〈Tv, v〉| | ‖v‖ = 1}. Proof. Let α = sup{|〈Tv, v〉| | ‖v‖ = 1}. Evidently, α ≤ ‖T‖. We need to show the other direction. Given v ∈ V with Tv 6= 0, setting w0 = Tv/‖Tv‖ gives |〈Tv,w0〉| = ‖Tv‖. Thus, ‖T‖ = sup v∈V, ‖v‖=1 |〈Tv,w0〉| ≤ sup v,w∈V, ‖v‖=‖w‖=1 |〈Tv,w〉|. Thus, it suffices to show that |〈Tv,w〉| ≤ α‖v‖‖w‖ for all v, w ∈ V . Without loss of generality, we may multiply w by a unit complex number to make 〈Tv,w〉 is real and positive. We now compute 〈T (v + w), v + w〉 = 〈Tv, v〉+ 〈Tv,w〉+ 〈Tw, v〉+ 〈Tw,w〉 = 〈Tv, v〉+ 2 〈Tv,w〉+ 〈Tw,w〉 ,

On Generalization of Sturm-Liouville Theory for Fractional Bessel Operator

In this paper, we give the spectral theory for eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a boundary value problem consisting of the linear fractional Bessel operator. Moreover, we show that this operator is self-adjoint, the eigenvalues of the problem are real, and the corresponding eigenfunctions are orthogonal. In this paper, we give the spectral theory for eigenvalues and eigenfunctions...

Spectral Finite Element Method for Free Vibration of Axially Moving Plates Based on First-Order Shear Deformation Theory

In this paper, the free vibration analysis of moderately thick rectangular plates axially moving with constant velocity and subjected to uniform in-plane loads is investigated by the spectral finite element method. Two parallel edges of the plate are assumed to be simply supported and the remaining edges have any arbitrary boundary conditions. Using Hamilton’s principle, three equations of moti...

Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Bending of Straight Beams Using hp-Spectral Approximations

Displacement finite element models of various beam theories have been developed using traditional finite element interpolations (i.e., Hermite cubic or equi-spaced Lagrange functions). Various finite element models of beams differ from each other in the choice of the interpolation functions used for the transverse deflection w, total rotation φ and/or shear strain γxz, or in the integral form u...

Free and Forced Transverse Vibration Analysis of Moderately Thick Orthotropic Plates Using Spectral Finite Element Method

In the present study, a spectral finite element method is developed for free and forced transverse vibration of Levy-type moderately thick rectangular orthotropic plates based on first-order shear deformation theory. Levy solution assumption was used to convert the two-dimensional problem into a one-dimensional problem. In the first step, the governing out-of-plane differential equations are tr...

hp-Spectral Finite Element Analysis of Shear Deformable Beams and Plates

There are different finite element models in place for predicting the bending behavior of shear deformable beams and plates. Mostly, the literature abounds with traditional equi-spaced Langrange based low order finite element approximations using displacement formulations. However, the finite element models of Timoshenko beams and Mindlin plates with linear interpolation of all generalized disp...
