In the mathematics of operator theory, an operator A on an (infinite dimensional) Banach space or Hilbert space H has a cyclic vector f if the vectors f, Af, Af,... span H. Equivalently, f is a cyclic vector for A in case the set of all vectors of the form p(A)f, where p varies over all polynomials, is dense in H.
