Lesch, Matthias; Malamud, Mark
On the deficiency indices and self-adjointness of symmetric Hamiltonian systems.
(English)
[J] J. Differ. Equations 189, No.2, 556-615 (2003). ISSN 0022-0396

From the authors' abstract: The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the formal deficiency indices $N_\pm$ of a symmetric first-order system $Jf'+Bf =\lambda Hf$ on an interval $I$, where $I=\bbfR$ or $I= \bbfR_\pm$. We obtain two results for such a system to have minimal numbers and a criterion for their maximality. We also obtain a generalization of the well-known Titchmarsh-Sears theorem for second-order Sturm-Liouville-type equations. This contains results due to Lidskij and Krein as special cases.
