ABSTRACT

Chapter 3

Improvement of Accuracy

Let us rst review the development of the subject matter so far. In

Chapter 1, we have discussed the eigenvalue problem T' = ' for a

bounded operator T on a complex Banach spaceX . In order to obtain an

approximate solution to this problem, in Chapter 2 we have considered

sequences (T

n

) of bounded operators on X which converge to T in an

appropriate manner, and have given error estimates for the solutions of

the approximate eigenvalue problem T
