The spectral form of the functional model for maximally dissipative operators: A Lagrange identity approach

This paper is a contribution to the theory of functional models. In particular, it develops the so-called spectral form of the functional model where the selfadjoint dilation of the operator is represented as the operator of multiplication by an independent variable in some auxiliary vector-valued function space. With the help of a Lagrange identity, in the present version the relationship between this auxiliary space and the original Hilbert space will be explicit. A simple example is provided.
