Abstract: We study general (not necessarily Hamiltonian) first-order symmetric systems Jy′(t)−B(t)y(t)=D(t)f(t) on an interval cI=[a,b> with the regular endpoint a. It is assumed that the deficiency indices npm(Tmi) of the minimal relation Tmi in LI satisfy n−(Tmi)leqn+(Tmi). By using a Nevanlinna boundary parameter au=au(l) at the singular endpoint b we define self-adjoint and l-depending Nevanlinna boundary conditions which are analogs of separated self-adjoint boundary conditions for Hamiltonian systems. With a boundary value problem involving such conditions we associate the m-function m(cd), which is an analog of the Titchmarsh-Weyl coefficient for the Hamiltonian system. By using m-function we obtain the Fourier transform V:LIoL2(Si) with the spectral function Si(cd) of the minimally possible dimension. If V is an isometry, then the (exit space) self-adjoint extension wtT of Tmi induced by the boundary problem is unitarily equivalent to the multiplication operator in L2(Si); hence the spectrum of wtT is defined by the spectral function Si(cd). We show that all the objects of the boundary problem are determined by the parameter au, which enables us to parametrize all spectral function Si(cd) immediately in terms of au. Similar results for various classes of boundary problems were obtained by Kac and Krein, Fulton, Hinton and Shaw and other authors.
