Our method of proof relies on variational considerations exploiting the fundamental link between the Krein–von Neumann extension and an underlying abstract buckling problem, and on the distorted Fourier transform defined in terms of the eigenfunction transform of 816305412&_mathId=si21.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S0001870816305412&_rdoc=1&_issn=00018708&md5=1762617bddf196643438789af1b5a5fb">816305412-si21.gif">${\tilde{A}}_2(a,b,q)$ in 816305412&_mathId=si16.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S0001870816305412&_rdoc=1&_issn=00018708&md5=5bd6d975b045fb410d215a3c8a761dd6" title="Click to view the MathML source">L²(Rⁿ)$L^2({\mathbb{R}}^n)$.
