Spectral theory for linear relations via linear operators (Q429103)

Let \(X\) be a complex Banach space and \(X_0\) a closed vector subspace of it. A linear subspace \(Z\) of \(X\times X\) is called a linear relation in \(X\). The authors develop a spectral theory for closed quotient range operators, that is, for closed linear operators of the form \(T:D(T)\mapsto X/X_0\). As a result, several spectral properties of linear relations are obtained.
