Linear systems with Schrödinger operators and their transfer functions (Q4660795)

The authors study linear, conservative, stationary dynamic systems (rigged operator colligations) and their transfer functions. The main operator of such systems is an extension with exit in a rigged Hilbert space of a Schrödinger operator on a half-line with non-self-adjoint boundary conditions. The description of all systems with accretive main operator in terms of transfer functions and their linear-fractional transformations and connections with Stieltjes and inverse Stieltjes functions are obtained. Using the bi-extension theory of symmetric operators in rigged Hilbert spaces and the system theory approach, they establish new properties of spectral functions of distributions (and corresponding Stieltjes integrals) of nonnegative self-adjoint extensions of a nonnegative Schrödinger operator on a half-line, new relations between spectral functions of the Friedrichs and Krein-von Neumann extremal, nonnegative self-adjoint extensions, as well as new sharp inequalities involving pointwise functionals and extremal nonnegative extensions. The last section of the paper is devoted to a nice illustration involving the Schrödinger operator with a Bessel potential. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1050.47002].
