We present a generalization of Krein-\v{S}mul'jan theorem which involves several operators. Given bounded selfadjoint operators $A,B_1,\ldots,B_m$ acting on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, we provide sufficient conditions to determine…

We formulate the issue of minimality of self-adjoint operators on a Hilbert space as a semi-definite problem, linking the work by Overton in [1] to the characterization of minimal hermitian matrices. This motivates us to investigate the…

Let $\gH$ be a Hilbert space and let $A$ be a simple symmetric operator in $\gH$ with equal deficiency indices $d:=n_\pm(A)<\infty$. We show that if, for all $\l$ in an open interval $I\subset\bR$, the dimension of defect subspaces…

Let $-\im\Lie_\T$ (essentially Lie derivative with respect to $\T$, a smooth nowhere zero real vector field) and $P$ be commuting differential operators, respectively of orders 1 and $m\geq 1$, the latter formally normal, both acting on…

The problem of connecting the operator parameters that label the same self-adjoint extension of a given symmetric operator, respectively, within the 'absolute' von Neumann extension scheme and the 'relative' boundary-triplet-induced…

Ordinary and partial differential operators with an indefinite weight function can be viewed as bounded perturbations of non-negative operators in Krein spaces. Under the assumption that 0 and $\infty$ are not singular critical points of…

We survey various properties of Krein--von Neumann extensions $S_K$ and the reduced Krein--von Neumann operator $\hatt S_K$ in connection with a strictly positive (symmetric) operator $S$ with nonzero deficiency indices. In particular, we…

In the first (and abstract) part of this survey we prove the unitary equivalence of the inverse of the Krein--von Neumann extension (on the orthogonal complement of its kernel) of a densely defined, closed, strictly positive operator,…

We study the exterior derivative as a symmetric unbounded operator on square integrable 1-forms on a 3D bounded domain $D$. We aim to identify boundary conditions that render this operator self-adjoint. By the symplectic version of the…

Let $G\subset \O(n)$ be a compact group of isometries acting on $n$-dimensional Euclidean space $\R^n$, and ${\bf{X}}$ a bounded domain in $\R^n$ which is transformed into itself under the action of $G$. Consider a symmetric, classical…

We characterize the boundedness of a positive integral operator $T_K$, with kernel $K\in M_+(\R^{2n})$, between Lorentz-Gamma spaces $\Gamma_{p,\phi_2}(\R^n)$ and $\Gamma_{q,\phi_1}(\R^n)$, $1<p\le q<\infty$. The key step reduces the…

For a second order formally symmetric elliptic differential expression we show that the knowledge of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map or Robin-to-Dirichlet map for suitably many energies on an arbitrarily small open subset of the boundary…

A well known tool in conventional (von Neumann) quantum mechanics is the self-adjoint extension technique for symmetric operators. It is used, e.g., for the construction of Dirac-Hermitian Hamiltonians with point-interaction potentials.…

Let $A$ and $A_{1}$ are unbounded selfadjoint operators in a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. Following \cite{AK} we call $A_{1}$ a \textit{singular} perturbation of $A$ if $A$ and $A_{1}$ have different domains…

This note deals with the operator $T^*T$, where $T$ is a densely defined operator on a complex Hilbert space. We reprove a recent result of Z. Sebesty\'en and Zs. Tarcsay [13]: If $T^*T$ and $TT^*$ are self-adjoint, then $T$ is closed. In…

This paper has two main goals. First, we are concerned with the classification of self-adjoint extensions of the Laplacian $-\Delta\big|_{C^\infty_0(\Omega)}$ in $L^2(\Omega; d^n x)$. Here, the domain $\Omega$ belongs to a subclass of…

Given a densely defined and closed operator $A$ acting on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, we establish a one-to-one correspondence between its closed extensions and subspaces $\mathfrak{M}\subset\mathcal{D}(A^*)$, that are closed…

We introduce the notion of $K$-invariant operators, $S$, (in a Hilbert space) with respect to a bounded and boundedly invertible operator $K$ defined via $K^*SK=S$. Conditions such that self-adjoint and maximally dissipative extensions of…

Consider the minimal Sturm-Liouville operator $A = A_{\rm min}$ generated by the differential expression $\mathcal{A} := -\frac{d^2}{dt^2} + T$ in the Hilbert space $L^2(\mathbb{R}_+,\mathcal{H})$ where $T = T^*\ge 0$ in $\mathcal{H}$. We…

We study the spectral convergence of compact, self-adjoint operators on a separable Hilbert space under operator norm perturbations, and derive asymptotic expansions for their eigenvalues and eigenprojections. Our analysis focuses on…
