Abstract: Abstract Using the theory developed in Chapter IV, we now present some fundamental theorems concerning the spectral theory of compact self adjoint integral operators. In general, the spectral series representations of these operators converge in the L2-norm which is not strong enough for many applications. Therefore we prove the Hilbert-Schmidt theorem and Mercer’s theorem since each of these theorems gives conditions for a uniform convergence of the spectral decomposition of the integral operators. As a corollary of Mercer’s theorem we obtain the trace formula for positive integral operators with continuous kernel function.
