A corollary of the main theorem presented in this note is a generalisation of the well-known result that a self-adjoint square root of a positive self-adjoint compact linear map in a Hilbert space is itself a compact linear map. The method used here exploits the techniques developed recently in the study of k-set contractions ((1), (2)).
