Abstract:
It is shown that the finiteness of eigenvalues in a spectral gap of a definitizable or locally definitizable selfadjoint operator in a Krein space is preserved under finite rank perturbations. This results is applied to a class of singular Sturm–Liouville operators with an indefinite weight function.
