Direct Approach for the Characteristic Function of a Dissipative Operator With Distributional Potentials

Abstract

The main aim of this paper is to investigate the spectral properties of a singular dissipative differential operator with the help of its Cayley transform. It is shown that the Cayley transform of the dissipative differential operator is a completely non-unitary contraction with finite defect indices belonging to the class C-0. Using its characteristic function and the spectral properties of the resolvent operator, the complete spectral analysis of the dissipative differential operator is obtained. Embedding the Cayley transform to its natural unitary colligation, a Caratheodory function is obtained. Moreover, the truncated CMV matrix is established which is unitary equivalent to the Cayley transform of the dissipative differential operator. Furthermore, it is proved that the imaginary part of the inverse operator of the dissipative differential operator is a rank-one operator and the model operator of the associated dissipative integral operator is constructed as a semi-infinite triangular matrix. Using the characteristic function of the dissipative integral operator with rank-one imaginary component, associated Weyl functions are established.
