A note on eigenvalues of a class of singular continuous and discrete linear Hamiltonian systems (Q2418993)

The authors study the analytic and geometric multiplicities of an eigenvalue of the following class of singular linear Hamiltonian systems: \[ Jy'(t)=\left(P(t)+\lambda W(t)\right)y(t),\quad t\in(a,b), \] where both endpoints are on the limit circle. \(W(t), P(t)\) are Hermitian matrices for any \(t\in(a,b)\) and \(W\) is nonnegative. Here \(J\) is the canonical symplectic matrix. The authors show that the two multiplicities are equal.
