Abstract

Given vectors x and y in a Hilbert space, an interpolating operator is a bounded operator T such that Tx = y. An interpolating operator for n vectors satisfies the equation Txt = yt, for i = 1, 2,, n. In this article, we continue the investigation of the one-vector interpolation problem for nest algebras that was begun by Lance. In particular, we require the interpolating operator to belong to certain ideals which have proved to be of importance in the study of nest algebras, namely, the compact operators, the radical, Larson's ideal, and certain other ideals. We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for interpolation in each of these cases.
