Weyl-Titchmarsh theory for Hamiltonian dynamic systems (Q963182)

Summary: We establish the Weyl-Titchmarsh theory for singular linear Hamiltonian dynamic systems on a time scale \(\mathbb T\), which allows one to treat both continuous and discrete linear Hamiltonian systems as special cases for \(\mathbb T=\mathbb R\) and \(\mathbb T=\mathbb Z\) within one theory and to explain the discrepancies between these two theories. This paper extends the Weyl-Titchmarsh theory and provides a foundation for studying spectral theory of Hamiltonian dynamic systems. These investigations are part of a larger program which includes the following: (i) \(M(\lambda )\) theory for singular Hamiltonian systems, (ii) on the spectrum of Hamiltonian systems, (iii) on boundary value problems for Hamiltonian dynamic systems.
