26.2 Theorem
Let H be a Hilbert space and A € BL(H).
(a) Let A be self-adjoint. Then
||A|| = sup{|(A(x), x)| : x € H, ||x|| ≤ 1}.
In particular, A = 0 if and only if (A(x), x) = 0 for all z €. H.
Proof:
(a) We have seen in Section 25 that for every A & BL(H),
||A|| = sup{|(A(x), y)| : x, y ≤ H, ||x|| ≤ 1, ||y|| ≤ 1}.
Let a = sup{|(A(x), x) : x € H, ||x|| ≤ 1}. Clearly, a ≤ ||A||. To
prove || A|| ≤ a, we note that for x, y € H,
(A(x+y), x+y) — (A(x − y), x − y)
-
-
=
2(A(x), y) +2(A(y), x)
4Re (A(x), y),
since A is self-adjoint. Hence
4Re (A(x), y) ≤ a(||x + y||² + ||x − y||²) = 2x(||x||² + ||y||²)
by the parallelogram law (21.2(b)). Let ||x|| ≤ 1 and ||y|| ≤ 1. Then
it follows that Re (A(x), y) ≤ a. If (A(x), y) = reie for r≥ 0 and
0 € R, then let zo = e-ier, so that ||xo|| = ||*|| ≤ 1 and
|(A(x), y)| = r = (A(xo), y) = Re (A(xo), y) ≤ a.
Taking supremum over all x, y € H with ||*|| ≤ 1, ||y|| ≤ 1, we obtain
||A|| ≤ a, as desired.
In particular, if (A(x), x) = 0 for all x € H, then a = 0, so that
|| A|| = 0, that is, A = 0. Conversely, if A = 0, then it is clear that
(A(x), x) = 0 for all z € H.
