Talk:Hermitian

Note that completeness of the eigenstates of a Hermitian operator is not guaranteed, but it is extremely common for physical systems. For example, any Hermitian system whose solutions can be found with arbitrary accuracy using a sufficiently finely discretized, finite system (i.e. simulated on a computer) has a complete set of eigenstates, at least in the sense of generalized functions (distributions). --Steven G.
