Abstract: The minimal and maximal operators generated by the Bessel differential expression on the finite interval and a half-line are studied. All non-negative self-adjoint extensions of the minimal operator are described. Also we obtain a description of the domain of the Friedrichs extension of the minimal operator in the framework of extension theory of symmetric operators by applying the technique of boundary triplets and the corresponding Weyl functions, and by using the quadratic form method.


In this work, the authors consider the Bessel operator \[ \tau_{\nu}=-\frac{d^{2}}{dx^{2}}+\frac{\nu^{2}-\frac{1}{4}}{x^{2}}, \quad \nu \in \left[0,1\right) - \left\{\frac{1}{2}\right\}. \] They study the minimal and maximal Bessel operators on a finite interval and a half-line. They prove that the domain of the minimal operator \(A\left(\nu, \infty\right)_{\min}\) associated with \(\tau_{\nu}\) in \(L^{2}\left(\mathbb{R}_{+}\right)\) is given by \[ \text{dom}\left(A\left(\nu, \infty\right)_{\min}\right)=H_{0}^{2}\left(\mathbb{R}_{+}\right) \] and they prove a similar formula for the operator on a finite interval. Moreover, they investigate spectral properties of the Bessel operator by applying the technique of boundary triplets and the corresponding Weyl functions. They construct a boundary triplet for the maximal operator in \(L^{2}\left(\mathbb{R}_{+}\right)\) and \(L^{2}(0,b)\) and compute the corresponding Weyl functions. They also determine the domains of Friedrichs and Krein extensions. In addition, the authors describe all self-adjoint and all nonnegative self adjoint extensions of the minimal Bessel operator. Besides, they obtain the Weyl functions on a half-line as the limit of the corresponding Weyl functions of the operator considered in a finite interval.
