Doubt about the spectrum of an operator

89 Views Asked by At

I consider the Laplacian operator $$A=-\Delta$$ in the domain $$H^2(\mathbb{R}^3)$$ where it is selfadjoint. We know that its spectrum is $[0,+\infty)$. Now I want to consider the restriction of $A$ to a given subspace of $H^2(\mathbb{R}^3)$. What can I say about the spectrum of this restriction?
