An operator A on a Hilbert space H over K is said to be compact if for every bounded sequence (x₂) in H, the sequence (A(x₂)) contains a subsequence which converges in H. (This definition is equivalent to the one given earlier. See 17.1(a).) If A is a compact operator on H, then there is some a > 0 such that ||A(x)|| ≤ a for all ¤ ¤ H with ||x|| ≤ 1. For otherwise, we can find some xn ¤ H with ||xn|| ≤ 1 and ||A(x₁)|| > n. Then the sequence (A(x₂)) has no convergent subsequence although (x₂) is a bounded sequence. This shows that every compact operator is bounded. However, the converse is not true. For example, if H is infinite dimensional, then the identity operator I is clearly bounded, but it is not compact. For if (un) is an infinite orthonormal sequence in H, then ||un|| = 1 but ||un − Um|| = √√2 for all n ‡ m, so that the bounded sequence (I(un)) has no convergent subsequence. - Request explain
