Summary:  For an $\setR$-linear operator $\oper{A}$ the resolvent operator is defined outside the spectrum of $\oper{A}$ while the cosolvent operator is defined outside the proper values of $\oper{A}$. In this paper these two functions are studied. Series expansions are given. A new characterization for the eigenvalues of real matrices is obtained. The cosolvent operator is used to define and analyze analytic functions of $\oper{A}$. An application of this leads to a decomposition of $\setR$-linear operators. Classes of structured $\setR$-linear operators are considered.
