Abstract

A very particular by-product of the result announced in the title reads as follows: Let (X,<,>)(X,<\cdot,\cdot>) be a real Hilbert space, T:XXT:X\to X a compact and symmetric linear operator, and zXz\in X such that the equation T(x)Tx=zT(x)-\|T\|x=z has no solution in XX. For each r>0r>0, set γ(r)=supxSrJ(x)\gamma(r)=\sup_{x\in S_r}J(x), where J(x)=<T(x)2z,x>J(x)=< T(x)-2z,x> and Sr={xX:x2=r}S_r=\{x\in X:\|x\|^2=r\}. Then, the function γ\gamma is C1C^1, increasing and strictly concave in ]0,+[]0,+\infty[, with γ(]0,+[)=]T,+[\gamma'(]0,+\infty[)=]\|T\|,+\infty[; moreover, for each r>0r>0, the problem of maximizing JJ over SrS_r is well-posed, and one has T(x^r)γ(r)x^r=zT(\hat x_r)-\gamma'(r)\hat x_r=z where x^r\hat x_r is the only global maximum of JSrJ_{|S_r}.\par
