Abstract

If AB(H)A\in\mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H}) and BB(K)B\in\mathcal{B}(\mathcal{K}) are given operators, denote by MCM_C an operator matrix of the form MC=(AC0B)B(HK)M_C=\begin{pmatrix} A & C\\ 0 & B \end{pmatrix}\in\mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H}\oplus\mathcal{K}) acting on a direct sum of infinite dimensional separable Hilbert spaces H\mathcal{H} and K\mathcal{K}, where CB(K,H)C\in\mathcal{B}(\mathcal{K},\mathcal{H}) is unknown. In this article we solve the completion problem of MCM_C to Fredholm left and Fredholm right invertibility, and we obtain appropriate perturbation results as consequences. We illustrate our results by solving the 'filling in holes' problem for Fredholm left and Fredholm right spectra. Finally, we consider some special classes of operators. Throughout the article, we recover some known results.
