  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Spectral theorem
In broad terms the spectral theorem provides conditions under which an operator or a matrix can be diagonalized (that is, represented as a diagonal matrix in some basis).
In general, the spectral theorem identifies a class of linear operators that can be modelled by multiplication operators, which are as simple as one can hope to find.
In Hilbert spaces in general, the statement of the spectral theorem for compact self-adjoint operators is virtually the same as in the finite-dimensional case.

After Hilbert's initial formulation, the later development of abstract Hilbert space and the spectral theory of a single normal operator on it did very much go in parallel with the requirements of physics; particularly at the hands of von Neumann.

In mathematics, the spectral theorem is an important decomposition theorem applying to normal operators in linear algebra and functional analysis.
There is also a spectral theorem for normal operators on Hilbert spaces, though, in which the sum in the finite-dimensional spectral theorem is replaced by an integral of the coordinate function over the spectrum against a projection-valued measure.

 AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL MONTHLY -February 2001
Several linear relationships are obtained for the areas of the squares in consecutive bands; in particular, we generalize a classical theorem of Euler from quadrilaterals to general polygons.
The definitions of the adjoint and of the notion of normality are made with the aid of this theorem.
Finally the spectral theorem for normal linear transformations is proved, both in the complex and the real case.

MERL – TR2002-042 – A unifying theorem for spectral embedding and clustering
Spectral methods use selected eigenvectors of a data affinity matrix to obtain a data representation that can be trivially clustered or embedded in a low-dimensional space.
We present a theorem that explains, for broad classes of affinity matrices and eigenbases, why this works: For successively smaller eigenbases (i.e., using fewer and fewer of the affinity matrix's dominant eigenvalues and eigenvectors), the angles between similar vectors in the new representation shrink while the angles between dissimilar vectors grow.

 Spectral radius Information
In mathematics, the spectral radius of a matrix or a bounded linear operator is the supremum among the moduli of the elements in its spectrum, which is sometimes denoted by ρ(·).
The spectral radius is closely related to the behaviour of the convergence of the power sequence of a matrix; namely, the following theorem holds:
The spectral radius of a planar graph is defined to be the spectral radius of its adjacency matrix.

 Bandwidth Definitions, Bandwidth Resources, Bandwidth Quotes, Bandwidth T1, T3
In radio communications, for example, bandwidth is the range of frequencies occupied by a modulated carrier wave, whereas in optics it is the width of an individual spectral line or the entire spectral range.
According to the Shannon—Hartley theorem, the data rate of reliable communication is directly proportional to the frequency range of the signal used for the communication.
When Additive white Gaussian noise is present in a digital communication channel, the Shannon—Hartley theorem gives the relationship between the channel's bandwidth, the channel's capacity, and the Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) ratio of the system.

 Description of Research - Injectivity of maps
In [15] we use Pinchuk's counterexample to the real Jacobian conjecture to construct certain local diffeomorphisms which show that there is no higher dimensional version of the spectral theorem of Gutierrez.
On the positive side, we prove in [15] a sharp injectivity theorem with "nearly spectral" hypothesis, similar in spirit to the one of Gutierrez that is valid in all dimensions.
In [16] we extended a special but important case of the theorem of Gutierrez by geometrizing it to complete surfaces of non-positive curvature.

In Section~\ref{s3} we introduce the spectral shift operator $\Xi(\lambda,H_0,H)$ associated with the pair $(H_0,H)$ and relate it to Krein's spectral shift function $\xi(\lambda,H_0,H)$ and his celebrated trace formula \cite{Kr62}.
\le (\pi / 2),$ $\mu\in\bbR,$ $\varepsilon > 0$ by the spectral theorem for the self-adjoint operator $L$, we infer that the family of operators $\int_\varepsilon^\infty d\lambda \, L(L^2+\lambda^2)^{-1}$ is uniformly bounded in $\varepsilon >0$ and therefore, it suffices to check the convergence \eqref{n2.30} on a dense set in $\calK$.

We investigate the spectral representation's effectivity properties on the sound formal basis of computable analysis.
Thus, in principle the spectral decomposition can be computed under remarkably weak non-degeneracy conditions.
