Spectral Theory in Inner Product Spaces and Applications: 6th Workshop on Operator Theory in Krein Spaces and Operator Polynomials, Berlin, December 2006

This book contains a collection of recent research papers originating from the 6th Workshop on Operator Theory in Krein Spaces and Operator Polynomials, which was held at the TU Berlin, Germany, December 14 to 17, 2006. The contributions in this volume are devoted to spectral and perturbation theory of linear operators in spaces with an inner product, generalized Nevanlinna functions and problems and applications in the field of differential equations. Among the discussed topics are linear relations, singular perturbations, de Branges spaces, nonnegative matrices and abstract kinetic equations.
