Abstract

An important task of the spectral analysis is to construct the model representations for linear operators realizing them via the operator of multiplication by an independent variable in a particular function space. Unlike those spectral decompositions for self-adjoint (unitary) operators constructed by von Neumann, similar representations for non-self-adjoint (non-unitary) operators are rather arduous to obtain. In the fifties Livšic [20] undertook investigations in this direction and devised a theory of characteristic functions and a theory of triangular models of linear operators. Later, in mid-sixties, a theory of dilations for semigroups of contractions was created by Sz.-Nagy and Foias [1]. Simultaneously, Lax and Phillips [2] had shaped a geometric theory of scattering of acoustic waves at bounded obstacles. Further development in these three areas supplied a basis for creating a method of studying non-self-adjoint operators and building correspondent models.
