Abstract:
Let $A$ be selfadjoint and $P$ an orthoprojector. Then for any real $\lambda$, the compression of $A$ to the subspace $P\mathcal {H}$ has spectral projector belonging to $]\lambda$, $\infty [$ no larger in dimensionality than does $A$. This generalizes the classical Poincaré inequality. Several other like generalizations are given of various versions of the "minimax principle".References
