unbounded operators

Unbounded operators are mathematical constructs used in advanced fields like quantum mechanics and functional analysis. They represent actions that can expand or alter objects, such as functions or vectors, in a way that doesn’t have a fixed limit. Unlike bounded operators, which handle changes within a certain range, unbounded operators can produce outcomes that grow indefinitely. This makes them essential for describing complex systems where measurements or effects can vary widely, such as the behavior of particles in physics. Their study helps us understand critical phenomena that are not confined by typical limitations.
