EQUATIONS AX = Y AND Ax = y IN ALGL

Let L be a subspace lattice on a Hilbert space H and X and Y be operators acting on a Hilbert space H. Let P be the projection onto $\frac\;{R(X)}$, where RX is the range of X. If PE = EP for each $E\;\in\;L$, then there exists an operator A in AlgL such that AX = Y if and only if $$sup\{{\parallel}E^{\bot}Yf{\parallel}/{\parallel}E^{\bot}Xf{\parallel}\;:\;f{\in}H,\; E{\in}L}=K\;<\;\infty$$ Moreover, if the necessary condition holds, then we may choose an operator A such that AX = Y and ${\parallel}A{\parallel} = K.$ Let x and y be vectors in H and let $P_x$ be the projection onto the singlely generated space by x. If $P_xE = EP_x$ for each $E\inL$, then the assertion that there exists an operator A in AlgL such that Ax = y is equivalent to the condition $$K_0\;:\;=\;sup\{{\parallel}E^{\bot}y{\parallel}/{\parallel}E^{\bot}x\;:\;E{\in}L}=<\;\infty$$ Moreover, we may choose an operator A such that ${\parallel}A{\parallel} = K_0$ whose norm is $K_0$ under this case.
