Abstract. We give characterization for the range and the domain of the square root of smallest (Krein--von Neumann) and largest (Friedrichs) positive self-adjoint extension of an operator. In the last theorem we give range characterization for the square root of the largest positive extension of smallest possible norm, if bounded positive extension exists.
