Book excerpt: In this thesis we examine the approximation theory of the eigenvalue problem of bounded linear operators defined on a Banach space, and its applications to integral and differential equations. Special cases include the degenerate kernel method, projection method, collocation method, the Galerkin method, the method of moments, and the generalized Ritz method for solving integral or differential equations. Given a bounded linear operator, a sequence of bounded linear operator approximations is assumed to converge to it in the operator norm. We examine, among other things, the perturbation of the spectrum of the given operator; criteria for the existence and convergence of approximate eigenvectors and generalized eigenvectors; relations between the dimensions of the eigenmanifolds and generalized eigenmanifolds of the operator and those of the approximate operators.
