Abstract

We study Weyl-type perturbation theorems in the context of closed linear relations. General results on perturbations for dissipative relations are established. In the particular case of selfadjoint relations, we treat finite-rank perturbations and carry out a detailed analysis of the corresponding changes in the spectrum.
