Notes

In analysis, “operator” often carries additional domain, topology, or boundedness data.

Vector spaceLinear operator

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

A linear operator is additional data: a chosen linear map from a vector space to itself, or more generally between specified vector spaces.

How to interpret this relation type

Equip an existing carrier or structured object with additional chosen data, when such compatible data exists. Use a construction junction when several independently meaningful inputs must coexist on the same carrier or interact compatibly.

Linear operatorBounded linear operator

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Boundedness is equivalent to continuity for linear maps between normed spaces.

How to interpret this relation type

Keep the existing data and select the subclass satisfying an additional law, existence condition, finiteness condition, or other property.

Linear operatorDensely defined operator

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

A densely defined operator may be unbounded and is specified on a dense subspace.

How to interpret this relation type

A more specific theory, model, entity class, or regime is obtained by restricting or extending the scope of a broader framework.

Linear operatorGreen function

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

For an operator and specified domain or boundary conditions, a Green function is a fundamental-solution or inverse kernel when such a distributional inverse exists.

How to interpret this relation type

Equip an existing carrier or structured object with additional chosen data, when such compatible data exists. Use a construction junction when several independently meaningful inputs must coexist on the same carrier or interact compatibly.

Linear operatorOperator anticommutator

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Whenever both products are defined, operator composition defines the anticommutator AB+BAAB+BA.

How to interpret this relation type

Apply a standard functorial or canonical construction whose output is not merely a reduct of the input and is not generally an equivalent presentation of the same object.

Linear operatorOperator commutator

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Whenever both products are defined on a suitable common domain, operator composition defines the commutator ABBAAB-BA.

How to interpret this relation type

Apply a standard functorial or canonical construction whose output is not merely a reduct of the input and is not generally an equivalent presentation of the same object.

Linear operatorProjection operator

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

An algebraic projection is an everywhere-defined linear operator satisfying P2=PP^2=P; on a Hilbert space, an orthogonal projection additionally satisfies P=PP=P^* and is bounded.

How to interpret this relation type

Keep the existing data and select the subclass satisfying an additional law, existence condition, finiteness condition, or other property.
