hyperbolic isomorphism
Let be a Banach space and a continuous
linear isomorphism. We say that is an hyperbolic isomorphism if its spectrum is disjoint with the unit circle, i.e. .
If this is the case, by the spectral theorem there is asplitting of into two invariant subspaces
, (and therefore, a corresponding splitting of into two operators and , i.e. ), such that and . Also, for any greater than the spectral radius of both and there exists an equivalent
(box-type) norm such that
and
In particular, can be chosen smaller than , so that and are contractions.
