A note on compact operators and operator matrices

D. Bakić
B. Guljaš

Abstract

In this note two properties of compact operators acting on a separable Hilbert space are discussed. In the first part
a characterization of compact operators is obtained for
bounded operators represented as tri-block diagonal matrices with finite blocks. It is also proved that one can obtain such a tri-block diagonal matrix representation for each bounded operator starting from any orthonormal basis of the underlying Hilbert space by an arbitrary small Hilbert-Schmidt perturbation.
The second part is devoted to the so-called Hummel's property of compact operators: each compact operator has a uniformly small orthonormal basis for the underlying Hilbert space. The class of all bounded operators satisfying Hummel's condition is determined.

Keywords
