It follows from Lemma 7 that the operator A is
bounded in the norm generated by the decomposition in
Lemma 8. This, as usual, permits considering the linear-
fractional relation A
, where
12
,
HH
is the matrix of the
operator A in the basis . It easily follows from
the inclusion 12
A
that the linear-fractional relation
A
is a closed (multivalued) mapping. Thus, we are
under the conditions of Glicksberg’s theorem [6], which
implies that A
has at least one fixed point in the ball
11X (here and
12
HHX1
is the norm
generated by the new decomposition).
By Lemma 9, this implies that the operator A has a
maximal nonnegative invariant subspace.
3. Conclusions
We note that statement 2) of Theorem 6 holds for any
operator with the property

. (3)
Indeed, for any such that , we
have .

In particular, each nonstrict plus-operator in a Krein
space satisfies condition (3).
We note that the method of mapping factorization
constantly finds new applications. In particular, in [18],
precisely this method permits obtaining new conditions
under which the given operator is a plus-operator.
