Synopsis

Bivariational principles are constructed that yield upper and lower bounds to the quantity 〈g0, f〉, where f is the solution of the equation f0Tf = 0, g0 is a given function and T is a non-self-adjoint linear operator from a Hilbert space into itself. The theory is illustrated by an integral equation of Fredholm type.
