Compact operators #
THIS FILE IS SYNCHRONIZED WITH MATHLIB4. Any changes to this file require a corresponding PR to mathlib4.
In this file we define compact linear operators between two topological vector spaces (TVS).

Implementation details #
We define is_compact_operator
as a predicate, because the space of compact operators inherits all
of its structure from the space of continuous linear maps (e.g we want to have the usual operator
norm on compact operators).
The two natural options then would be to make it a predicate over linear maps or continuous linear maps. Instead we define it as a predicate over bare functions, although it really only makes sense for linear functions, because Lean is really good at finding coercions to bare functions (whereas coercing from continuous linear maps to linear maps often needs type ascriptions).

Compact operator
A compact operator between two topological vector spaces. This definition is usually given as "there exists a neighborhood of zero whose image is contained in a compact set", but we choose a definition which involves fewer existential quantifiers and replaces images with preimages.
We prove the equivalence in is_compact_operator_iff_exists_mem_nhds_image_subset_compact
.

The submodule of compact continuous linear maps.
If a compact operator preserves a closed submodule, its restriction to that submodule is compact.
Note that, following mathlib's convention in linear algebra, restrict
designates the restriction
of an endomorphism f : E →ₗ E
to an endomorphism f' : ↥V →ₗ ↥V
. To prove that the restriction
f' : ↥U →ₛₗ ↥V
of a compact operator f : E →ₛₗ F
is compact, apply
is_compact_operator.cod_restrict
to f ∘ U.subtypeL
, which is compact by
is_compact_operator.comp_clm
.
