On the eigenfunction expansion for Hamilton operators

Abstract

A spectral representation for solutions to linear Hamilton equations with nonnegative energy in Hilbert spaces is obtained. This paper continues our previous work on Hamilton equations with positive definite energy. Our approach is a special version of M. Krein's spectral theory of $J$-selfadjoint operators in Hilbert spaces with indefinite metric.

As a principal application of these results, we justify the eigenfunction expansion for linearized nonlinear relativistic Ginzburg–Landau equations.
