Abstract

In this paper, we mainly deal with sequences of bounded linear operators on Hilbert space. The main result is the so-called squeeze theorem (or sandwich rule) for convergent sequences of self-adjoint operators. We show that this theorem remains valid for all three main topologies on B(H). Some interesting consequences are given.
