Norm Inequalities for Complementable Operators and Parallel Sums

This paper investigates the structural and quantitative behaviors of complementable operators on Hilbert spaces, focusing on their norm characteristics and geometric profiles. We establish a comprehensive framework of norm inequalities and lower-bound relationships between a bounded linear operator and its generalized Schur complement (bilateral shorted operator). Under explicit operator factorization and range inclusion criteria, we define the exact conditions under which a bounded linear operator contracts or expands vectors relative to its Schur complement. Furthermore, we explore the lower boundedness and stability configurations of $(M, N, \lambda)$-complementable operators, proving that a bounded-below Schur complement acts as a sufficient condition to propagate injectivity and lower-bounded stability to the global operator. These structural results are subsequently applied to the network-theoretic setting of the parallel sum of two bounded linear operators. With some specific orthogonality conditions, we derive a novel norm decomposition identity, sharp two-sided global operator bounds, and algebraic restrictions on Douglas reduced solutions via Moore-Penrose inverses.
