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.

The Attempt at a Solution


Handwritten note: We have D(AB) = B^(-1) D(A). If B is invertible, then B^(-1) is bounded with a dense range, hence D(AB) is dense.

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.
