Semi-bounded operator
From Encyclopedia of Mathematics
A symmetric operator on a Hilbert space for which there exists a number such that
for all vectors in the domain of definition of . A semi-bounded operator always has a semi-bounded self-adjoint extension with the same lower bound (Friedrichs' theorem). In particular, and its extension have the same deficiency indices (cf. Defective value).
