A symmetric Nevanlinna function Q is of the form Q(z) = zQs(z 2 ) where Qs and Q0(z) = zQs(z) are also Nevanlinna functions. In such a situation Qs and −Q −1 0 are Stieltjes functions. An inverse result of L. de Branges implies that each Nevanlinna function is the Titchmarsh-Weyl coefficient of a uniquely determined canonical system with some nonnegative Hamiltonian matrix function H, and, according to M. G. Krein, each Stieltjes function is the Titchmarsh-Weyl coefficient of a uniquely determined string. The Hamiltonians corresponding to Qs, Q0 and Q are constructed in terms of the string corresponding to Qs and the dual string corresponding to −Q −1 0 . The relations between the associated Fourier transformations are described by commuting isometric isomorphisms between the considered spaces.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
