    Product
In summary, the conversation discusses the definition of densely defined operators and their properties. It is clarified that if A and B are both unbounded, AB is not necessarily densely defined, but if A is bounded, AB is densely defined. The question is then posed whether AB is densely defined in two scenarios: 1) B is bounded and A is unbounded, and 2) A and B are both unbounded and at least one is invertible with a bounded inverse. The answer is not clear in the second scenario as the range of B^-1 may not necessarily be dense in the smaller space D(A).

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.

What does it mean for a product to be densely defined?

A product is densely defined when it can be multiplied for all elements in a given domain, meaning that every possible combination of elements in the domain produces a valid output.

Why is it important for a product to be densely defined?

Having a densely defined product allows for more flexibility and accuracy in mathematical calculations and models. It ensures that all possible inputs are accounted for and can produce meaningful results.

What are some examples of densely defined products?

The multiplication of real numbers, the dot product of vectors, and matrix multiplication are all examples of densely defined products. In each case, every possible combination of elements in the domain results in a valid output.

What happens if a product is not densely defined?

If a product is not densely defined, it means that there are some combinations of elements in the domain that do not produce a valid output. This can lead to errors or incorrect results in mathematical calculations and models.

How do you determine if a product is densely defined?

To determine if a product is densely defined, you must check if every possible combination of elements in the domain produces a valid output. This can be done by looking at the definition of the product and considering all possible inputs.
