Abstract

A special case of our extension question for continuous positive definite (p.d.) functions on a fixed finite interval \(\left \vert x\right \vert < a\) in \(\mathbb{R}\) is the following: It offers a spectral model representation for ALL Hermitian operators with dense domain in Hilbert space and with deficiency indices \(\left (1,1\right )\). (See e.g., [vN32a, Kre46, DS88, AG93, Nel69].)

Keywords

  • Dense Domain
  • Extensive Questions
  • Hermitian Operator
  • Hilbert Space
  • Selfadjoint Extension

These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
