Extract

There are several important theorems concerning the almost sure convergence of (monotone) sequences of orthogonal projections in L2-spaces. Let us mention here the martingale convergence theorems or the results on the developments of functions with respect to orthogonal systems. On the other hand every self-adjoint operator with the spectrum on the interval [0, 1] is a limit of some sequence of orthogonal projections in the weak operator topology (see [1]). This paper is devoted to a problem of approximation of a self-adjoint operator A acting in L2 (0, 1) by a sequence Pn of orthogonal projections in the sense that
