SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on diagonal linear operators T in the context of L(H), where H represents a Hilbert space. A key example provided is the identity operator I, which is diagonalizable, bounded, and not compact. The distinction between diagonal and diagonalizable operators is emphasized, as the latter depends on the chosen orthonormal basis. The user seeks examples of diagonal operators that are bounded but not compact, as well as compact operators that are not Hilbert-Schmidt.
