At each step the operator is compressed along a chosen unit vector while remaining inside the positive cone, and the resulting map defines a monotone dynamical system on the cone of positive operators. We prove that the associated residuals admit a canonical telescoping decomposition into rank-one terms and a limiting positive operator, and we identify this limit together with an exact energy identity expressing the defect between the initial and limiting operators as a convergent series of rank-one contributions. In the case where the iteration exhausts the operator, the residual directions form a Parseval frame for the natural range space, yielding a constructive procedure that produces Parseval frames without spectral calculus. We further solve the inverse problem by characterizing those decreasing chains with rank-one steps that arise from such dynamics via an intrinsic normalization condition involving the Moore–Penrose inverse. For trace-class operators we obtain a scalar energy identity and show that mild greedy or density conditions on the chosen directions guarantee exhaustion. An application to reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces illustrates the abstract results.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":44371,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Operator Theory","volume":"11 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148173337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
