Consider a bounded, self-adjoint operator $T:Hrightarrow H$, $H$ is a Hilbert space, such that
beginalign*
langle Tx,xrangle geq beta ||x||^2
endalign*
where $beta>0$ is a constant. I know that the null space of this operator is simply $0$. However, I am having trouble showing that $mathcalR(T)$ is closed. How would I go about doing this?

          $beta |x|^2 leq |Tx| |x|$ so $beta |x| leq |Tx| $. If $Tx_n to y$ then $T(x_n-x_m) to 0$ so $beta |x_n-x_m| to 0$. Hence $x_n$ is Cauchy. if $x_n to x$ then $y =lim Tx_n =Tx$.

          • I see. It seems that your argument is using $T$ is linear. However, I don't think that $T$ is necessarily linear in this problem. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

          • @RebeccaHardenbrook I have never seen anybody talking about about a bounded self adjoint operator that is not linear. How do you define adjoint of a non-linear operator and prove its existence?
