Abstract

For a bounded linear operator $A$ on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, the Douglas-Yang metric on the resolvent set $\rho(A)$ is defined by the metric function $g_{\vec{x}}(z)=\left \| \big(A -z I\big)^{-1} \vec{x} \right \|^2$, where $\vec{x} \in \mathcal{H}$ with $\left \| \vec{x} \right \|=1$.
