Integrating unbounded functions against a spectral measure
i. Overview
For a real measurable function `f` and a spectral measure `μ`, the integral `∫ f dμ` is defined on the vectors `x` with `∫ f² dμₓ < ∞`, as the limit of the bounded integrals of the truncations of `f`. It is densely defined, closable, symmetric and essentially self-adjoint.
ii. Key results
- `truncationFunction` : the truncation of `f` to the set where `|f| ≤ n`.
- `maximalSpectralIntegral` : the integral `∫ f dμ` on its maximal domain.

A. Measurable real functional calculus
The maximal construction is not tied to the coordinate function. For a measurable real multiplier `f`, push the PVM forward along `f` and apply the same construction to the new spectral variable. This is the concrete operator realization of the representation-free `PVM.map` operation used by the affiliated-observable API.
B. Convergence of bounded spectral multipliers
The next lemma is the reusable norm-convergence principle behind the resolvent construction. It only uses the PVM norm-square identity, so it is also useful for bounded functional calculus approximations unrelated to the Cayley transform.
