On the Spectral Theory of Singular Indefinite Sturm-liouville Operators
We consider a singular Sturm-Liouville differential expression with an indefinite weight function and we show that the corresponding self-adjoint differential operator in a Krein space locally has the same spectral properties as a definitizable operator.
متن کاملComplex Symplectic Spaces and Boundary Value Problems
This paper presents a review and summary of recent research on the boundary value problems for linear ordinary and partial differential equations, with special attention to the investigations of the current authors emphasizing the applications of complex symplectic spaces. In the first part of the previous century, Stone and von Neumann formulated the theory of self-adjoint extensions of symmet...

Krein space operator-theoretic methods are used to prove that the operator (sgn x) d is similar to a selfadjoint operator in the Hilbert space L2 (R) . Let L be a symmetric ordinary differential expression. Spectral properties of the operators associated with the weighted eigenvalue problem Lu = )wu have been studied extensively. When w is positive, this problem leads to a selfadjoint problem i...

متن کاملOn a Theorem of Livsic
The theory of symmetric, non-selfadjoint operators has several deep applications to the complex function theory of certain reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces of analytic functions, as well as to the study of ordinary differential operators such as Schrodinger operators in mathematical physics. Examples of simple symmetric operators include multiplication operators on various spaces of analytic f...
