Generalized resolvents of isometric linear relations in Pontryagin spaces. I: Foundations. (English) Zbl 0953.46012

Adamyan, V. M. (ed.) et al., Operator theory and related topics. Proceedings of the Mark Krein international conference on operator theory and applications, Odessa, Ukraine, August 18-22, 1997. Volume II. Basel: Birkhäuser. Oper. Theory, Adv. Appl. 118, 303-319 (2000).
The author develops a theory of (multi-valued) linear relations on a Krein space and, in particular, of isometric and unitary relations on a Pontryagin space. Various elementary properties of such linear relations are derived. The theory is then applied to linear stationary conservative discrete-time systems with Pontryagin state spaces.
