Let $A$ be a symmetric linear relation in the Hilbert space $\gH$ with unequal deficiency indices $n_-A <n_+(A)$. A self-adjoint linear relation $\wt A\supset A$ in some Hilbert space $\wt\gH\supset \gH$ is called an (exit space) extension of $A$. We study the compressions $C (\wt A)=P_\gH\wt A\up\gH$ of extensions $\wt A=\wt A^*$. Our main result is a description of compressions $C (\wt A)$ by means of abstract boundary conditions, which are given in terms of a limit value of the Nevanlinna parameter $\tau(\l)$ from the Krein formula for generalized resolvents. We describe also all extensions $\wt A=\wt A^*$ of $A$ with the maximal symmetric compression $C (\wt A)$ and all extensions $\wt A=\wt A^*$ of the second kind in the sense of M.A. Naimark. These results generalize the recent results by A. Dijksma, H. Langer and the author obtained for symmetric operators $A$ with equal deficiency indices $n_+(A)=n_-(A)$.

A method is presented for transparent, energy-dependent boundary conditions for open, non-Hermitian systems, and is illustrated on an example of Stark resonances in a single-particle quantum system. The approach provides an alternative to external complex scaling, and is applicable when asymptotic solutions can be characterized at large distances from the origin. Its main benefit consists in a drastic reduction of the dimesnionality of the underlying eigenvalue problem. Besides application to quantum mechanics, the method can be used in other contexts such as in systems involving unstable optical cavities and lossy waveguides.
