SynopsisLet τ denote the second-order elliptic expressionwhere the coefficients bj and q are complex-valued, and let Ω be a spherical shell Ω = {x:x ∈ ℝn, l <|x|<m} with l≧0, m≦∞. Under the conditions assumed on the coefficients of τ and with either Dirichlet or Neumann conditions on the boundary of Ω, τ generates a quasi-m-sectorial operator T in the weighted space L2(Ω;w). The main objective is to locate the spectrum and essential spectrum of T. Best possible results are obtained.

Let G denote an unbounded domain of Euclidean m-space Em with regular boundary, and let L be a self-adjoint operator generated in L2(G) by a second order elliptic expression. We denote by S(L) the spectrum of L, by µ the least point of the essential spectrum Se(L) and by N(L) the number of bound states of L; that is, the number of points in (–∞, µ) ∩ S(L). There are many results in the literature dealing with the localization, significance and properties of µ, of Se(L) and of (–∞, µ)⌒ S(L), with most of the emphasis on the cases where G = Em or G is the exterior of a closed surface in Em. We refer the reader to the books by Glazman [12], Schechter [19], Reed and Simon [18], and Paris [9], where extensive references are also found.

SynopsisThe paper gives asymptotic estimates of the formas λ→∞ for the length l(μ)of a gap, centre μ in the essential spectrum associated with second-order singular differential operators. The integer r will be shown to depend on the differentiability properties of the coefficients in the operators and, in fact, r increases with the increasing differentiability of the coefficients. The results extend to all r ≧ – 2 the long-standing ones of Hartman and Putnam [10], who dealt with r = 0, 1, 2.
