Motivation and Cotlar’s lemma We always need to consider a transform $latex T$ on Hilbert space $latex l^2(\mathbb Z)$ (this is a discrete model), or a finite dimensional space $latex V$. If under a basis $latex T$ is given by a diagonal matrix this story is easy, $latex \displaystyle A = \begin{pmatrix} \Lambda_1 & 0 & \ldots & 0 \\ 0 & \Lambda_2 & \ldots & 0 \\ \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\ 0 & 0 & \ldots & \Lambda_n \end{pmatrix} \…
