Abstract

Let TT be a closed linear relation from a Hilbert space H{\mathfrak H} to a Hilbert space K{\mathfrak K} and let BB(K)B \in \mathbf{B}({\mathfrak K}) be selfadjoint. It will be shown that the relation T(I+iB)TT^{*}(I+iB)T is maximal sectorial via a matrix decomposition of BB with respect to the orthogonal decomposition H=domTmulT{\mathfrak H}={\rm d\overline{om}\,} T^* \oplus {\rm mul\,} T. This leads to an explicit expression of the corresponding closed sectorial form. These results include the case where mulT{\rm mul\,} T is invariant under BB. The more general description makes it possible to give an expression for the extremal maximal sectorial extensions of the sum of sectorial relations. In particular, one can characterize when the form sum extension is extremal.
