It is shown that for each closed subset
Ω
\Omega
of the semi-Fredholm domain of a bounded linear operator
T
T
acting in a complex Hilbert space
H
H
there exists a subspace of a finite codimension in
H
H
such that the compression of
T
−
λ
T - \lambda
to this subspace is a left- or right-invertible operator for all
λ
\lambda
in
Ω
\Omega
. From this result we obtain a characterization of the Weyl spectrum of
T
T
.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
