Abstract
Special classes of intertwining transformations between Hilbert spaces are introduced and investigated, whose purposes are to provide partial answers to some classical questions on the existence of nontrivial invariant subspaces for operators acting on separable Hilbert spaces. The main result ensures that if an operator is \({{\mathcal D}}\)-intertwined to a normal operator, then it has a nontrivial invariant subspace.
