Synopsis

We consider the eigenvalue problem

for self-adjoint operators Ai and Bij on separable Hilbert spaces Hi. It is assumed that and Bij are bounded with compact. Various properties of the eigentuples λi, and xi are deduced under a “definiteness condition” weaker than those used by previous authors, at least in infinite dimensions. In particular, a Parseval relation and eigenvector expansion are derived in a suitably constructed tensor product space.
