S 1. The notion of a model for a linear operator in Hilbert space has been introduced in the author’s note [3]. In this note we shall give some remarkable applications which can be obtained from this notion, combined with some exceedingly simple imbedding techniques. Contrary to [3], Hilbert space is not assumed to be separabIe here. We recall that a bounded linear operator T in Hilbert space H is said to be similar to a second linear operator TI if one can find a bounded linear operator 6’with a bounded inverse in H such that T= J7-l T, V. A bounded linear operator T is said to be a contraction operator when IlTIl 5 I. A closed subspace hl of Hilbert space H is said to be an invariant subspace of a bounded linear operator T in M if Tx is in M for every element z in M. If S is a second bounded linear operator in H, we say that S is a model for fhe linear operator T in H when there exist (a) an invariant subspace M of S and (b) a bounded one-to-one linear operator I, in H whose range is the closed subspace M, such that T coincides with the operator IG1. SIT. Several special cases of the notion of “model” have recently received attention. 2 Intuitively, an operator S is a model for T when the restriction of S to some one of its invariant subspaces gives an operator similar to T. Among the obvious properties of the relation “S is a model for T” we shall use the following: if S is a model for T and if the bounded linear operator R is similar to T, then S is a model for R.
