This paper studies the symmetry, with respect to the real axis, of the point spectrum of the upper triangular infinite dimensional Hamiltonian operator H. Note that the point spectrum of H can be described as σp（H） = σp （A） U σp1 （-A＊）. Using the characteristic of the set σp1（-A＊）, we divide the point spectrum σp （d） of A into three disjoint parts. Then, a necessary and sufficient condition is obtained under which σp1（-A＊） and one part of σp（A） are symmetric with respect to the real axis each other. Based on this result, the symmetry of σp（H） is completely given. Moreover, the above result is applied to thin plates on elastic foundation, plane elasticity problems and harmonic equations.
Some new characterizations of nonnegative Hamiltonian operator matrices are given. Several necessary and sufficient conditions for an unbounded nonnegative Hamiltonian operator to be invertible are obtained, so that the main results in the previously published papers are corollaries of the new theorems. Most of all we want to stress the method of proof. It is based on the connections between Pauli operator matrices and nonnegative Hamiltonian matrices.
Symplectic self-adjointness of Hamiltonian operator matrices is studied, which is important to symplectic elasticity and optimal control. For the cases of diagonal domain and off-diagonal domain, necessary and sufficient conditions are shown. The proofs use Frobenius-Schur factorizations of unbounded operator matrices.Under additional assumptions, sufficient conditions based on perturbation method are obtained. The theory is applied to a problem in symplectic elasticity.
This paper deals with a class of upper triangular infinite-dimensional Hamilto- nian operators appearing in the elasticity theory. The geometric multiplicity and algebraic index of the eigenvalue are investigated. Furthermore, the algebraic multiplicity of the eigenvalue is obtained. Based on these properties, the concrete completeness formulation of the system of eigenvectors or root vectors of the Hamiltonian operator is proposed. It is shown that the completeness is determined by the system of eigenvectors of the operator entries. Finally, the applications of the results to some problems in the elasticity theory are presented.
