Abstract
Given vectors x and y in a Hilbert space $\cal{H}$, an interpolating operator is a bounded operator T such that Tx = y. An interpolating operator for n vectors satisfies the equations $Tx_i=y_i$, for i = 1, 2, ${\cdots}$, n. In this paper the following is proved : Let $\cal{L}$ be a subspace lattice on a Hilbert space $\cal{H}$. Let x and y be vectors in $\cal{H}$ and let $P_x$ be the projection onto sp(x). If $P_xE=EP_x$ for each $E{\in}\cal{L}$, then the following are equivalent. (1) There exists an operator A in Alg$\cal{L}$ such that Ax = y, Af = 0 for all f in $sp(x)^{\perp}$ and $A=A^*$. (2) sup $sup\;\{\frac{{\parallel}E^{\perp}y{\parallel}}{{\parallel}E^{\perp}x{\parallel}}\;:\;E\;{\in}\;{\cal{L}}\}$ < ${\infty}$, $y\;{\in}\;sp(x)$ and < x, y >=< y, x >.
