Synopsis

In this paper, we demonstrate an intimate connection between the spectrum of a multiparameter problem and the joint spectrum of an associated set of commuting operators, and show that the spectrum of a multiparameter problem involving bounded operators is non-empty. Multiparameter systems involving compact and self-adjoint operators are considered, and some simplification of results in the literature are noted.
