Abstract

We use the notion of triples D+ → H → D of Hilbert spaces to develop an analog of the Friedrichs extension procedure for a class of nonsemibounded operator matrices. In addition, we suggest a general approach (stated in the same terms) to the construction of variational principles for the eigenvalues of such matrices.
