Synopsis

In this paper a spectral theory for completely coupled linear operator systems is developed. These systems take the form

where Ak, Bk are n × n matrices with operator entries. Λ is an n × n matrix with complex scalar entries and xk is an n × 1 column vector. The main result is a Parseval equality and expansion theorem.
