Synopsis

Self-adjoint operators in L2(0, 1) associated with a formally symmetric differential operator regular in [0, 1] can be determined by boundary conditions or as extensions of the minimal operator. These extensions are determined by extensions of the Cayley transform of the minimal operator. This paper establishes an explicit expression for the extension of the Cayley transform in terms of the boundary conditions and vice versa.
