Abstract

The entities A, B, X, Y in the title are operators, by which we mean either linear transformations on a finite-dimensional vector space (matrices) or bounded (= continuous) linear transformations on a Banach space. (All scalars will be complex numbers.) The definitions and statements below are valid in both the finite-dimensional and the infinite-dimensional cases, unless the contrary is stated.
