Boundary value problems with local generalized Nevanlinna functions in the boundary condition (Q2501057)

This paper deals with a class of abstract \(\lambda\)-dependent boundary value problems with a local variant of generalized Nevanlinna functions appearing in the boundary condition. Let \(A\) be a closed symmetric operator or relation with defect one in a separable Krein space \(\mathcal H\) and let \(\{{\mathbb C},\Gamma_0, \Gamma_1 \}\) be a boundary value space for the adjoint relation \(A^+\). Let the selfadjoint extension \(A_0:=\ker \Gamma_0\) of \(A\) admit a spectral decomposition into two relations, one of which acts in a Pontryagin space. Let \(\tau\) be a function which can be written as a sum of a generalized Nevanlinna functions and a locally holomorphic function. The authors investigate the following boundary value problem: For a given \(h\in \mathcal H\) find a vector \(\hat f =(f,f')^T \in A^+\) such that \(f'-\lambda f=h\) and \(\tau (\lambda ) \Gamma_0 \hat f +\Gamma_1\hat f=0\). They prove that for a suitable \(\lambda \in \mathbb C\), a solution of this problem can be obtained with the help of the compressed resolvent of a selfadjoint extension \(\tilde A\) of \(A\) which acts in a larger Krein space \(\mathcal H \times \mathcal K\), i.e., \(f=P_H(\tilde A-\lambda)^{ -1 }| _Hh\) and \(f'=\lambda f+h\). The linearization \(\tilde A\) is constructed and its local spectral properties are investigated.
