unbounded linear operators

Unbounded linear operators are mathematical tools used in advanced calculus and functional analysis that act on infinite-dimensional spaces. Unlike bounded operators, which behave predictably and their outputs stay proportionally within a fixed limit relative to their inputs, unbounded operators can produce outputs that grow without bound even for small inputs. They are essential for describing phenomena like differential equations and quantum mechanics, where certain processes involve transformations that don’t have a uniform cap on their effects. Handling unbounded operators requires careful mathematical treatment to ensure they are well-defined and meaningful within their specific contexts.
