[parent] Viewing Correction to 'closed operator'
Property 4 is incorrect by olegalexandrov

Type: Erratum

Correction text:
Property 4 gives necessary and sufficient conditions for an operator to be closeable. I think there one has to assume x=y in order to infer that the limits of Ax_n and Ay_n are the same. Otherwise, the only closed operators are the constant function.

By the way, thank you for the nice article. I copied it over to Wikipedia, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_operator. What would be nice to have in addition is why closed operators are important, and some examples of such operators which are not bounded.

Comment from object owner Koro:
Thanks, I fixed that. I will add examples and some motivation when I have a spare time. Feel free to fill an addenda if that doesn't happen soon.
