ICHINOSE Takashi, TAMURA Hideo, TAMURA Hiroshi, ZAGREBNOV Note on the paper "The Norm Convergence of the Trotter-Kato Product Formula with Error Bound" by Ichinose and Tamura (32K, LATeX) ABSTRACT. The norm convergence of the Trotter--Kato product formula is established with ultimate {\sl optimal} error bound for the self-adjoint semigroup generated by the operator sum of two self-adjoint operators. A generalization is also given to the operator sum of several self-adjoint operators.
