The operator norm and the spectral radius

545 Views Asked by At

Let $\mathcal{B}(F)$ the algebra of all bounded linear operators on an infinite-dimensional complex Hilbert space $F$.

It is well know that if $A$ is normal operator, then $r(A)=\|A\|$.

I want to find an example of operator $A$ which is not normal but $$r(A)=\|A\|,$$ where $r(A)$ and $\|A\|$ denotes respectively the spectral radius of $A$ and the norm of $A$.

Let $F= \ell_2$ and $A \in \mathcal{B}(F)$ be given by

$A(x_1,x_2,x_3,....)=(0,x_1,x_2,x_3,...)$.

Then we have $||A||=1$ and $ \sigma(A)=\{z \in \mathbb K:|z| \le 1\}$, hence $r(A)=1$.

Furthermore: $A^*A=I \ne AA^*$.
