Kato-Rellich theorem


Let be a Hilbert spaceMathworldPlanetmath, A:D(A) a self-adjoint operator and B:D(B) a symmetric operator with D(A)D(B).

We say that B is A-bounded if there are positive constants α,β such that

BxαAx+βx

for all xD(A), and we say that α is an A-bound for B.

Theorem 1.

(Kato-Rellich) If B is A-bounded with A-bound smaller than 1, then A+B is self-adjointPlanetmathPlanetmath on D(A), and essentially self-adjoint on any core of A. Moreover, if A is bounded below, then so is A+B.
