Suppose that

(1.1)

and define the bounded self-adjoint operators H and J on the Hilbert space L2(0, 1) by

(1.2)

the integral being a Cauchy principal value

It is seen that

(1.3)

or, equivalently,

(1.4)

Since (Cƒ, ƒ) = π–1|(ƒ, ϕ)|2 ≧ 0, A is semi-normal. (For a discussion of such operators, see [4].)
