Synopsis

General convergence theorems are established for the lower part of the intermediate operator spectra arising in lower bound methods of Aronszajn type.Convergence of the T*T method is considered in detail, as are constructions that allow perturbations that are nonclosable in the underlying Hilbert space. Problems with essential spectra are admitted, as is the use of infinite rank projections capable of displacing essential spectra. These last features are necessary for a theory applicable to Schrodinger operators corresponding to atomic systems.
