Indefinite Sturm–Liouville operators defined on R are often considered as a coupling of two semibounded symmetric operators defined on R+ and R-, respectively. In many situations, those two semibounded symmetric operators have in a special sense good properties like a Hilbert space self-adjoint extension. In this paper, we present an abstract approach to the coupling of two (definitizable) self-adjoint operators. We obtain a characterization for the definitizability and the regularity of the critical points. Finally we study a typical class of indefinite Sturm–Liouville problems on R.

Keywords: self-adjoint extension, symmetric operator, Krein space, locally definitizable operator, coupling of operators, boundary triple, Weyl function, regular critical point.
