Our goal is to construct the theory of self-adjoint realizations of such operators by an analogy with the case of Jacobi operators. We introduce a new object, the quasiresolvent of the maximal operator, and use it to obtain a very explicit formula for the resolvents of all self-adjoint realizations. In particular, this yields a simple representation for the Cauchy-Stieltjes transforms of the spectral measures playing the role of the classical Nevanlinna formula in the theory of Jacobi operators.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2021-08-16T05:32:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "33C45", "39A70", "47A40", "47B39" ], "keywords": [ "limit circle case", "symmetric second-order differential operators", "self-adjoint realizations", "jacobi operators", "real coefficients" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
