    Abstract

    A bounded, not necessarily everywhere defined, nonnegative operator A in a Hilbert space h is assumed to intertwine in a certain sense two bounded everywhere defined operators B and C. If the range of A is provided with a natural inner product then the operators B and C induce two new operators on the completion space. This construction is used to show the existence of selfadjoint and nonnegative extensions of B*A and C*A.
