A question of Bergman asks whether the adjoint of the generic square matrix over a field can be factored nontrivially as a product of square matrices. We show that such factorizations indeed exist ...

In the Hilbert space L A 2 ( I;E )( I:=[ a,b ),−∞ 0 ) , the maximal dissipative singular matrix-valued Sturm–Liouville operators that the extensions of a minimal symmetric operator with maximal ...
