Let be coordinate projection and setThis finite matrix is computable from the matrix entries of . Compute its singular value decompositionand define the unitary polar factor of a finite compressionThis is a unitary operator on , including when is singular.
Put . Since strongly and is unitary,The continuous functional calculus for positive matrices therefore givesThe polar identity now yieldsAlso strongly, and henceIn particular the weak convergence required in part (c) holds. The construction uses only a finite block of the given matrix and a finite singular value decomposition, so it is an algorithm realizing all the assumptions of part (c).
