Coordinate-Free Approach for the Model Operator Associated With a Third-Order Dissipative Operator

Abstract

In this paper we investigate the spectral properties of a third-order differential operator generated by a formally-symmetric differential expression and maximal dissipative boundary conditions. In fact, using the boundary value space of the minimal operator we introduce maximal selfadjoint and maximal non-selfadjoint (dissipative, accumulative) extensions. Using Solomyak's method on characteristic function of the contractive operator associated with a maximal dissipative operator we obtain some results on the root vectors of the dissipative operator. Finally, we introduce the selfadjoint dilation of the maximal dissipative operator and incoming and outgoing eigenfunctions of the dilation.
