We consider non-self-adjoint operators in Hilbert spaces of the form $H=H_0+CWC$, where $H_0$ is self-adjoint, $W$ is bounded and $C$ is a metric operator, $C$ bounded and relatively compact with respect to $H_0$. We suppose that…

We show that every Hankel operator $H$ is unitarily equivalent to a pseudo-differential operator $A$ of a special structure acting in the space $L^2 ({\Bbb R}) $. As an example, we consider integral operators $H$ in the space $L^2 ({\Bbb…
