This chapter is concerned with closable and closed operators in Hilbert spaces, especially with the special classes of symmetric, J-symmetric, accretive and sectorial operators. The Stone–von Neumann theory of extensions of symmetric operators is treated as a special case of results for compatible adjoint pairs of closed operators. Also discussed in detail is the stability of closedness and self-adjointness under perturbations. The abstract results are applied to operators defined by second-order differential expressions, and Sims’ generalization of the Weyl limit-point, limit-circle characterization for symmetric expressions to J-symmetric expressions is proved.

SynopsisThe stability of several natural subsets of the bounded non-semi-Fredholm operators undercompact perturbations were studied by R. Bouldin [2] in separable Hilbert spaces and by M. Gonzales and V. M. Onieva [6] in Banach spaces. The aim of this paper is to study this problem for closed operators in operator ranges. The main results are a characterisation of the non-semi-Fredholm operators with respect to α-closed and α-compact operators as well as a generalisation of a result of M. Goldman [5]. We also give some applications of the theory developed to ordinary differential operators.
