Abstract

We consider a linear unbounded operator A in a separable Hilbert space with the following property: there is an invertible selfadjoint operator S with a dis- crete spectrum such that ∥(A-S)S-v∥ <∞ for a v ε [0, 1]. Besides, all eigenvalues of S are assumed to be different. Under certain assumptions it is shown that A is si- milar to a normal operator and a sharp bound for the condition number is suggested. Applications of that bound to spectrum perturbations and operator functions are also discussed. As an illustrative example we consider a non-selfadjoint differential operator.
