Synopsis

In this paper, appropriate definitions are given for the spectra of multiparameter problems in Hilbert space when the operators involved are not necessarily self-adjoint. Notions of adjoint multiparameter problems are introduced, and some properties of the spectrum of a single linear operator are generalised to multiparameter settings.

The results which are achieved are compared with those in the literature which have beendeveloped for multiparameter problems involving self-adjoint operators.
