Left-definite Hamiltonian systems and corresponding nested circles

Abstract

This work aims to construct the Titchmarsh-Weyl M(A)-theory for an even-dimensional left-definite Hamiltonian system. For this purpose, we introduce a suitable Lagrange formula and selfadjoint boundary conditions including the spectral parameter A. Then we obtain circle equations having nesting properties. Using the intersection point belonging to all the circles we share a lower bound for the number of Dirichlet-integrable solutions of the system.
