SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the properties of densely defined operators in functional analysis, specifically addressing the conditions under which the product of two operators, AB, is densely defined. It is established that if operator A is bounded, then the domain of the product, D(AB), equals the domain of B, confirming that AB is densely defined. Conversely, if both A and B are unbounded densely defined operators, the conditions under which AB remains densely defined depend on the invertibility of B and the density of the range of its inverse, B-1.

Homework Statement


Hello,
We know that if A and B are two unbounded densely defined operators, it does not mean that AB is also densely defined. But if A is bounded then D (AB) = D (B) ie AB is densely defined.
Is AB densely defined if:
1) B is bounded and A is unbounded densely defined operator.
2) A and B are unbounded densely defined operators such that A or B is invertible of a bounded inverse.
thank you.

I think here you mean ##D(A B) = D(B)##?

Yes, ##B^{-1}## has a dense range, which means that ##B^{-1}X## is dense (where ##X## is the underlying Banach space), but ##D(A)## is smaller than ##X## so it is not clear that ##B^{-1}D(A)## is dense as well.
