Brief Thought: Compact Operators on Hilbert Spaces

Most proofs that a compact Hilbert-space operator is the limit (in the operator topology) of finite-rank operators seem to restrict to the case that is separable. But this is unnecessary hypothesis. Indeed, let . Since the image has compact closure–some … Continue reading
