In the book that I read, an operator is defined to be a linear map which maps from a vector space into itself. For example, if ##T## is an operator in a vector space ##V##, then ##T:V\rightarrow V##. Now, what if I have an operator ##O## such that ##T:V\rightarrow U## where ##U## is a subspace of ##V##. Can I call ##O## an operator in ##V##?
