Normal operator information


In mathematics, especially functional analysis, a normal operator on a complex Hilbert space H is a continuous linear operator N : HH that commutes with its Hermitian adjoint N*, that is: NN* = N*N.[1]

Normal operators are important because the spectral theorem holds for them. The class of normal operators is well understood. Examples of normal operators are

  • unitary operators: N* = N−1
  • Hermitian operators (i.e., self-adjoint operators): N* = N
  • skew-Hermitian operators: N* = −N
  • positive operators: N = MM* for some M (so N is self-adjoint).

A normal matrix is the matrix expression of a normal operator on the Hilbert space Cn.
