Factor the perturbed operator on as
Since
the Neumann series makes invertible. Therefore and
The geometric-series bound gives
Now choose a bounded open neighborhood of the isolated spectral component such that
and meets no other component of the spectrum. Compactness of gives
For all sufficiently large , . Applying the first part to shows uniformly that .
The corresponding Riesz projections are
The resolvent identity and the uniform Neumann bound imply . The projection is nonzero because contains the nonempty spectral component . Projections at distance less than one have isomorphic ranges, so for large . Therefore has spectrum inside , and any such point satisfies . Thus
for every sufficiently large .
