Synopsis

Let L0, M0 be closed densely defined linear operators in a Hilbert space H which form an adjoint pair, i.e. . In this paper, we study closed operators S which satisfy and are regularly solvable in the sense of Višik. The abstract results obtained are applied to operators generated by second-order linear differential expressions in a weighted space L2(a, b; w).
