In 2002, Littlejohn and Wellman developed a general left-definite theory for arbitrary self-adjoint operators in a Hilbert space that are bounded below by a positive constant. Zettl and Littlejohn, in 2005, applied this general theory to…

We develop a duality theory for unbounded Hermitian operators with dense domain in Hilbert space. As is known, the obstruction for a Hermitian operator to be selfadjoint or to have selfadjoint extensions is measured by a pair of deficiency…

The spectral problem $(A + V(z))\psi=z\psi$ is considered where the main Hamiltonian $A$ is a self-adjoint operator of sufficiently arbitrary nature. The perturbation $V(z)=-B(A'-z)^{-1}B^{*}$ depends on the energy $z$ as resolvent of…

A closed densely defined operator $ T $ on a Hilbert space $ \mathcal{H} $ is callled $M$-hyponormal if $\mathcal{D}(T) \subset \mathcal{D}(T^{*}) $ and there exists $ M > 0 $ for which $ \parallel(T-zI)^{*}x \parallel \leq M…

Assume that $X$ is a complex separable infinite dimensional Banach space and $\mathcal{B}(X)$ denotes the Banach algebra of all bounded linear operators from $X$ to itself. In 1970, P.R. Halmos raised ten open problems in Hilbert spaces.…

In the paper we consider a functional-difference operator $H=U+U^{-1}+V$, where $U$ and $V$ are self-adjoint Weyl operators satisfying $UV=q^{2}VU$ with $q=e^{\pi i\tau}$ and $\tau>0$. The operator $H$ has applications in the conformal…

Assume that $Au=f,\quad (1)$ is a solvable linear equation in a Hilbert space $H$, $A$ is a linear, closed, densely defined, unbounded operator in $H$, which is not boundedly invertible, so problem (1) is ill-posed. It is proved that the…
