Gap metric

The gap metric is a mathematical concept used to quantify the distance between linear operators on a Hilbert space. It was introduced independently by Mark Krein and Mark Krasnoselsky (1947), and Béla Szőkefalvi-Nagy (1946), in their work on invertibility of differential operators. The gap metric has since found applications in perturbation theory, robust control, and feedback system analysis.
