The spectra of general differential operators in the direct sum spaces

Sobhy El-sayed Ibrahim (2004)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

In this paper, the general ordinary quasi-differential expression M p of n -th order with complex coefficients and its formal adjoint M p + on any finite number of intervals I p = ( a p , b p ) , p = 1 , , N , are considered in the setting of the direct sums of L w p 2 ( a p , b p ) -spaces of functions defined on each of the separate intervals, and a number of results concerning the location of the point spectra and the regularity fields of general differential operators generated by such expressions are obtained. Some of these are extensions or generalizations...

The Sturm-Liouville Friedrichs extension

Siqin Yao, Jiong Sun, Anton Zettl (2015)

Applications of Mathematics

The characterization of the domain of the Friedrichs extension as a restriction of the maximal domain is well known. It depends on principal solutions. Here we establish a characterization as an extension of the minimal domain. Our proof is different and closer in spirit to the Friedrichs construction. It starts with the assumption that the minimal operator is bounded below and does not directly use oscillation theory.
