We study the eigenproblem

where

and Tm, Vmn are self-adjoint operators on separable Hilbert spaces Hm. We assume the Tm to be bounded below with compact resolvents, and the Vmn to be bounded and to satisfy an “ellipticity” condition. If k = 1 then ellipticity is automatic, and if each Tm is positive definite then the problem is “left definite”.
