The goal of this work is to compare operators that are defined on probably varying Hilbert spaces. Distance concepts for operators as well as convergence concepts for such operators are explained and examined. For distance concepts we present three main notions. All have in common that they use space-linking operators that connect the spaces. At first, we look at unitary maps and compare the unitary orbits of the operators. Then, we consider isometric embeddings, which is based on a concept of Joachim Weidmann. Then we look at contractions but with more norm equations in comparison. The latter idea is based on a concept of Olaf Post called quasi-unitary equivalence. Our main result is that the unitary and isometric distances are equal provided the operators are both self-adjoint and have 0 in their essential spectra. In the third chapter, we focus specifically on the investigation of these distance terms for compact operators or operators in p-Schatten classes. In this case, the interpretation of the spectra as null sequences allows further distance investigation. Chapter four deals mainly with convergence terms of operators on varying Hilbert spaces. The analyses in this work deal exclusively with concepts of norm resolvent convergence. The main conclusion of the chapter is that the generalisation for norm resolvent convergence of Joachim Weidmann and the generalisation of Olaf Post, called quasi-unitary equivalence, are equivalent to each other. In addition, we specify error bounds and deal with the convergence speed of both concepts. Two important implications of these convergence notions are that the approximation is spectrally exact, i.e., the spectra converge suitably, and that the convergence is transferred to the functional calculus of the bounded functions vanishing at infinity.
