Let $M:=displaystyleint_0^+infty lambda ,mathrmdE_lambda$ be the spectral decomposition of a positive operator $M$ on a complex Hilbert space $F$.



For $xin F$, we set
$$x_n=displaystyleint_lambda>1/nlambda^-1/2E_lambda(x),mathrmdE_lambda.$$




Why
$$Mx_n=int_lambda> 1/nlambdalambda^-1/2E_lambda(x) ,mathrmdE_lambda?$$

    $E_lambdadE_lambdax$ can make sense. However, $E_lambdax dE_lambda$ does not make sense because you have a vector on the left an operator $dE_lambda$.

The Borel functional calculus $fmapsto int_sigma(M)f(lambda) ,d E_lambda$ is a $*$-homomorphism from the set of bounded Borel measurable functions to the set of bounded operators on a Hilbert space. So, you have: $$int_sigma(M)f(lambda) ,d E_lambdaint_sigma(M)g(lambda) ,d E_lambda=int_sigma(M)f(lambda)g(lambda) ,d E_lambda$$ for any bounded Borel measurable functions on $sigma(M)$.

  • In your question, $E_lambda$ is a projection-valued measure or spectral measure. The integrand $f$ in the formula $int f,d E_lambda $ should be a complex-valued function. The correct form of $x_n$ should be $$x_n=(int_lambda>frac1n lambda^-frac12, dE_lambda) circ (E_lambda (x))=int_lambda>frac1ncapx lambda^-frac12, dE_lambda .$$
