Abstract
Let T be a bounded linear operator acting on a complex, separable, infinite-dimensional Hilbert space and let f: D → ℂ be an analytic function defined on an open set D ⊆ ℂ which contains the spectrum of T. If T is the limit of hypercyclic operators and if f is nonconstant on every connected component of D, then f(T) is the limit of hypercyclic operators if and only if $f(σ_{W}(T)) ∪ {z ∈ ℂ: |z| = 1}$ is connected, where $σ_{W}(T)$ denotes the Weyl spectrum of T.
