In this paper, we study matrix-valued Hahn-Sturm-Liouville equations. We give an existence and uniqueness result. We introduce the corresponding maximal and minimal operators for this system, and some properties of these operators are investigated. Finally, we characterize extensions (maximal dissipative, maximal accumulative and self-adjoint) of the minimal symmetric operator.
Introduction.As is known, extension theory of symmetric operators is one of the main research areas of operator theory. This theory was studied earlier [33]. In [17], the description of self-adjoint extensions of a symmetric operator was given. obtained extensions of a symmetric operator with aid of linear relations. Later, in [16,24], the notion of a space of boundary values was introduced. In [26], a description of extensions of a second-order symmetric operator was given. In [19], the author obtained a description of self-adjoint extensions of Sturm-Liouville operators with an operator potential. In the case when the deficiency indices take indeterminate values, a description of extensions of differential operators was given in [1,[28][29][30]. The readers may find some papers related to extension theory in [20,24,35].Matrix-valued Sturm-Liouville equations arise in a variety of physical problems (for example, see [5, 10-15, 18, 34]). While there are several results
