The paper characterizes self-adjoint pencils of operators within separable Hilbert spaces, specifically those of the form P = ~A - B. The authors present a method to achieve a linear homeomorphism D that facilitates the decomposition of the Hilbert space H into a direct sum orthogonally, thereby allowing for a structured exploration of the properties of these pencils. The focus lies on constructing explicit forms for associated operators and achieving a canonical representation of the pencil through elementary techniques.
