Abstract
In this paper, we study the problem of characterizing the bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space that admit a factorization as a product of two Hermitian operators. It is shown that a normal operator can be decomposed as a product of two Hermitian operators if and only if it is similar to its adjoint. Some partial results about hyponormal operators are obtained.
