Norm bound computation for inverses of linear operators in Hilbert spaces

Abstract

This paper presents a computer-assisted procedure to prove the invertibility of a linear operator which is the sum of an unbounded bijective and a bounded operator in a Hilbert space, and to compute a bound for the norm of its inverse. By using some projection and constructive a priori error estimates, the invertibility condition together with the norm computation is formulated as an inequality based upon a method originally developed by the authors for obtaining existence and enclosure results for nonlinear partial differential equations. Several examples which confirm the actual effectiveness of the procedure are reported.
