A matrix formula for Schur complements of nonnegative selfadjoint linear relations

Abstract: If a nonnegative selfadjoint linear relation

A

in a Hilbert space and a closed subspace

m a t h c a l S

are assumed to satisfy that the domain of

A

is invariant under the orthogonal projector onto

m a t h c a l S,

then

A

admits a particular matrix representation with respect to the decomposition

m a t h c a l S o p l u s m a t h c a l S^{p e r p}

. This matrix representation of

A

is used to give explicit formulae for the Schur complement of

A

on

m a t h c a l S

as well as the

m a t h c a l S -

compression of

A

.
