Abstract
Given operators X and Y acting on a separable Hilbert space ${\mathcal{H}}$, an interpolating operator is a bounded operator A such that AX = Y. We show the following: Let ${\mathcal{L}}$ be a subspace lattice acting on a separable complex Hilbert space ${\mathcal{H}}$. and let $X=(x_{ij})$ and $Y=(y_{ij})$ be operators acting on ${\mathcal{H}}$. Then the following are equivalent: (1) There exists an invertible operator $A=(a_{ij})$ in $Alg{\mathcal{L}}$ such that AX = Y. (2) There exist bounded sequences {${\alpha}_n$} and {${\beta}_n$} in ${\mathbb{C}}$ such that $${\alpha}_{2k-1}{\neq}0,\;{\beta}_{2k-1}=\frac{1}{{\alpha}_{2k-1}},\;{\beta}_{2k}=-\frac{{\alpha}_{2k}}{{\alpha}_{2k-1}{\alpha}_{2k+1}}$$ and $$y_{i1}={\alpha}_1x_{i1}+{\alpha}_2x_{i2}$$ $$y_{i\;2k}={\alpha}_{4k-1}x_{i\;2k}$$ $$y_{i\;2k+1}={\alpha}_{4k}x_{i\;2k}+{\alpha}_{4k+1}x_{i\;2k+1}+{\alpha}_{4k+2}x_{i\;2k+2}$$ for $$k{\in}N$$.
