Spectral duality for a class of unbounded operators
Abstract
We establish a spectral duality for certain unbounded operators in Hilbert space. The class of operators includes discrete graph Laplacians arising from infinite weighted graphs. The problem in this context is to establish a practical approximation of infinite models with suitable sequences of finite models which in turn allow (relatively) easy computations. Let be an infinite set and let \H be a Hilbert space of functions on with inner product \ip{\cdot}{\cdot}=\ip{\cdot}{\cdot}_{\H}. We will be assuming that the Dirac masses , for , are contained in \H. And we then define an associated operator in \H given by (\Delta v)(x):=\ip{\delta_x}{v}_{\H}. Similarly, for every finite subset , we get an operator . If is an ascending sequence of finite subsets such that , we are interested in the following two problems: (a) obtaining an approximation formula and (b) establish a computational spectral analysis for the truncated operators in (a).
