A sequence of orthogonal projection in Hilbert space












2












$begingroup$


Let $H$ be an infinite dimensional Hilbert space over $mathbb{C}$



Let ${v_n}_{n in mathbb{N}} subset H$ be a sequence of linearly independent vectors in $H$ such that $v_n to u$



Let $forall m in mathbb{N}: V_m = operatorname{span} {v_n}_{n geq m}$ and $P_m$ be the orthogonal projection on $V_m$



My question is if it is true that:
$$
forall v in V_1:
lim_{m to infty}
P_m(v)= a cdot u
$$

in $H$-norm and with $a in mathbb{C}$



Thanks.

    I suppose that $V_m$ is supposed to be the closed span of ${v_n: , n ge m}$? Since otherwise there is no orthogonal projection onto $V_m$, in general.

The answer is no, in general.



As a counterexample, let $H = L^2([0,1])$, let $(q_n)_{n in mathbb{N}}$ be your favourite enumeration of $[0,1] cap mathbb{Q}$ and define
begin{align*}
v_n := 1 + frac{1}{n} 1_{[0,q_n]}
end{align*}

for each $n in mathbb{N}$.



Then the span of ${v_n: , n ge m}$ is dense in $L^2([0,1])$ for each $m$ (since ${q_n: , n ge m}$ is dense in $[0,1]$) and hence $P_m$ is the identity operator. However, $v_n$ converges to the constant function with value $1$ as $n to infty$.
