Let \(A\) be a closed linear operator acting in a Hilbert space \(H\) with domain \(Dom A\) that is not assumed to be dense in \(H\). The operator \(A\) is called regular if there exist the bounded operators \((A-zI) ^{-1}\) with domain \(\text{Dom} (A-zI) ^{-1}\neq H\) for all \(z\in \mathbb{C}\). The constructions derived from the known author's approach to the notion of the characteristic function of the regular symmetric operator \(A\) [see \textit{A. V. Shtrauss}, Izv. Akad.
