function Opout=operatorappr(Op,T)
%OPERATORAPPR Best approximation by operator
% Usage: c=operatorappr(Op,K);
%
% Opout=OPERATORAPPR(Opin,T) computes the an operator Opout of the
% same type as Opin that best approximates the matrix T in the
% Frobenious norm of the matrix (the Hilbert-Schmidt norm of the
% operator).
%
% For some operator classes, the approximation is always exact, so that
% operator(Opout,f) computes the exact same result as T'*f.
