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.

Two separation criteria for second order ordinary or partial differential operators

Richard C. Brown, Don B. Hinton (1999)

Mathematica Bohemica

We generalize a well-known separation condition of Everitt and Giertz to a class of weighted symmetric partial differential operators defined on domains in n . Also, for symmetric second-order ordinary differential operators we show that lim sup t c ( p q ' ) ' / q 2 = θ < 2 where c is a singular point guarantees separation of - ( p y ' ) ' + q y on its minimal domain and extend this criterion to the partial differential setting. As a particular example it is shown that - Δ y + q y is separated on its minimal domain if q is superharmonic. For n = 1 the criterion...
