Everything about Spectrum (functional analysis)

Set of eigenvalues of a matrix

In mathematics, particularly in functional analysis, the spectrum of a bounded linear operator is a generalisation of the set of eigenvalues of a matrix. Specifically, a complex number is said to be in the spectrum of a bounded linear operator ifeither has no set-theoretic inverse; or the set-theoretic inverse is either unbounded or defined on a non-dense subset.
