Title: The division method for subspectra of self-adjoint differential vector-operators Author: Maksim Sokolov (National Univ. of Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan) Abstract: We discuss the division method for subspectra which appears to be one of the key approaches in the study of spectral properties of self-adjoint differential vector-operators, that is operators generated as a direct sum of self-adjoint extensions on an Everitt-Markus-Zettl multi-interval system. In the current work we show how the division method may be applied to obtain the ordered spectral representation and Fourier-like decompositions for self-adjoint differential vector-operators, after which we obtain the analytical decompositions for the measurable (relative to a spectral parameter) generalized eigenfunctions of a self-adjoint differential vector-operator.
