The theory of gentle perturbations was introduced by Friedrichs [3] as a tool to study the perturbation theory of the absolutely continuous spectrum of a self-adjoint operator H0 and developed in an abstract form by Rejto [7; 8]. Two examples of gentle structures are well knowTn. In the first of these, the gentle operators have Hölder continuous complex or operator-valued kernels, and in the second, the kernels are Fourier transforms of L1 functions [4].

The gentle structure has traditionally been verified in the case when H0 is in its spectral representation, that is, when H0 is the simple differentiation operator. This is not the natural setting for the second example mentioned above where one should consider the simple differentiation operator in a suitable L2-space and perturbations with L1 kernels.
