Hello everybody,
I am given a "Sobolev type innerproduct"
[itex]\langle f,g \rangle_{\alpha} = \langle f,g \rangle_{L^2} + \alpha \langle Rf,Rg \rangle_{L^2}[/itex]
for some [itex]\alpha \geq 0[/itex] and [itex]R[/itex] some differential operator (e.g. the second-derivative operator).
My question is now whether a function space endowed with such an inner-product can be a Hilbert space?
Also I wonder whether there exists an analogue to the spectral theorem for compact and self-adjoint operators on Hilbert spaces also in Sobolev spaces?
Thanks for any input on these questions!
