The classical concept of $Q$-functions associated to symmetric and selfadjoint operators due to M.G. Krein and H. Langer is extended in such a way that the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map in the theory of elliptic differential equations can be…

We consider the indefinite Sturm-Liouville differential expression \[\mathfrak{a}(f) := - \frac{1}{w}\left( \frac{1}{r} f' \right)',\] where $\mathfrak{a}$ is defined on a finite or infinite open interval $I$ with $0\in I$ and the…

The classical Weyl-von Neumann theorem states that for any self-adjoint operator $A$ in a separable Hilbert space $\mathfrak H$ there exists a (non-unique) Hilbert-Schmidt operator $C = C^*$ such that the perturbed operator $A+C$ has purely…

The Krein transform is the real counterpart of the Cayley transform and gives a one-to-one correspondence between the positive relations and symmetric contractions. It is treated with a slight variation of the usual one, resulting in an…

For selfadjoint extensions tilde-A of a symmetric densely defined positive operator A_min, the lower boundedness problem is the question of whether tilde-A is lower bounded {\it if and only if} an associated operator T in abstract boundary…

We continue the study of boundary data maps, that is, generalizations of spectral parameter dependent Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps for (three-coefficient) Sturm-Liouville operators on the finite interval $(a,b)$, to more general boundary…

Given a self-adjoint operator $A:D(A)\subseteq\calH\to\calH$ and a continuous linear operator $\tau:D(A)\to\X$ with Range$ \tau'\cap\calH' ={0}$, $\X$ a Banach space, we explicitly construct a family $A^\tau_\Theta$ of self-adjoint…

We consider an abstract sequence $\{A_n\}_{n=1}^\infty$ of closed symmetric operators on a separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. It is assumed that all $A_n$'s have equal deficiency indices $(k,k)$ and thus self-adjoint extensions…

We introduce a classification of simple, regular, closed symmetric operators with deficiency indices (1,1) according to a geometric criterion that extends the classical notions of entire operators and entire operators in the generalized…

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…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for real sequences to be the spectra of selfadjoint extensions of an entire operator whose domain may be non-dense. For this spectral characterization we use de Branges space techniques and a…

All self-adjoint extensions of minimal linear relation associated with the discrete symplectic system are characterized. Especially, for the scalar case on a finite discrete interval some equivalent forms and the uniqueness of the given…

We consider a certain class of Herglotz-Nevanlinna matrix-valued functions which can be realized as the Weyl-Titchmarsh matrix-valued function of some symmetric operator and its self-adjoint extension. New properties of Weyl -Titchmarsh…

The abstract theory of self-adjoint extensions of symmetric operators is used to construct self-adjoint realizations of a second-order elliptic operator on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ with linear boundary conditions on (a relatively open part of) a…

Starting with an adjoint pair of operators, under suitable abstract versions of standard PDE hypotheses, we consider the Weyl M-function of extensions of the operators. The extensions are determined by abstract boundary conditions and we…

Let $A$ be a symmetric linear relation in the Hilbert space $\gH$ with equal deficiency indices $n_\pm (A)\leq\infty$. A self-adjoint linear relation $\wt A\supset A$ in some Hilbert space $\wt\gH\supset \gH$ is called an exit space…

Operator-valued $Q$-functions for special pairs of nonnegative selfadjoint extensions of nonnegative not necessarily densely defined operators are defined and their analytical properties are studied. It is shown that the Kre\u\i…
