On selfadjoint derivation ranges

Joseph Gail Stampfli

Vol. 82 (1979), No. 1, 257–277
Abstract

The properties of those operators on a Hilbert space which induce a derivation whose range after closure is self-adjoint are studied. Such operators are termed D-symmetric. A characterization of compact D-symmetric operators is given. Normal derivations are considered, and an example of an irreducible, not essentially normal, D-symmetric operator is presented.
