Abstract

In this work we shall establish a result concerning the spectral theory of differential operators. Let L1 and L2 be two self-adjoint operators acting in two different Hubert spaces. Then under some conditions we shall prove that (dΓ1/dΓ2)(L2) = vv1, where Γ1(λ) and dΓ2(λ)are the spectral functions associated with L1 and L2 respectively. V is the shift operator mapping the set of generalized eigenfunctions of L1 into the set of generalized eigenfunctions of L2, that is y = Vφ, where L2y=λy and L1φ = λφ.
