Derivation Properties of Finite Rank Operators

Abstract

In the present work, authors established derivation properties and range-kernel orthogonality of finite rank inner derivations implemented by finite rank hyponormal operators. The results show that an inner derivation is linear and bounded. Also by inner product trace and properties of adjoint, the inner derivation is self-adjoint if the inducing operator is self-adjoint. For orthogonality, we employ operator techniques such as properties of operators and derivation inequalities due to Anderson, Bouali, Maher, Mecheri and Halmos generalization formula to establish the orthogonality.
