Let ?be a Hilbert space with inner product \(\langle\cdot, \cdot\rangle\) and let \(\mathcal{T}\) be a non-densely defined linear relation in ?with domain \(D(\mathcal{T})\) . We prove that if \(\mathcal{T}\) is sectorial then it can be expressed in terms of some sectorial operator A with domain \(D(A) = D(\mathcal{T})\) and that \(\mathcal{T}\) is maximal sectorial if and only if A is maximal sectorial in \(\overline{D(\mathcal{T})}\) . The operator A has the property that for every \(u\in D(A)\) and every \(v\in D(\mathcal{T})\) and any \(u^{\prime}\in\mathcal{T}(u)\) , \(\langle Au,v\rangle= \langle u^{\prime}, v\rangle\) . We use this representation to show that every sectorial linear relation \(\mathcal{T}\) is form closable, meaning that the form associated with \(\mathcal{T}\) has a closed extension. We also prove a result similar to Kato’s first representation theorem for sectorial linear relations. Unlike the results available in the literature, we do not assume that the graph of the linear relation \(\mathcal{T}\) is a closed subspace of \(\mathcal{H} \times\mathcal{H}\) .
