Douglas' lemma is a result in functional analysis, particularly in the study of certain types of operators on Hilbert spaces. It is often used in the context of the theory of positive operators and their spectral properties. The lemma typically states that if you have a positive operator \( T \) on a Hilbert space and you know that \( T \) is compact, then the range of \( T \) (i.e.
