Abstract
In this paper, the asymptotics of the spectral data (eigenvalues and weight numbers) are obtained for the higher-order differential operators with distribution coefficients and separated boundary conditions. Additionally, we consider the case when, for the two boundary value problems, some coefficients of the differential expressions and of the boundary conditions coincide. We estimate the difference of their spectral data in this case. Although the asymptotic behaviour of spectral data is well-studied for differential operators with regular (integrable) coefficients, to the best of the author’s knowledge, there were no results in this direction for the higher-order differential operators with distribution coefficients (generalized functions) in a general form. The technique of this paper relies on the recently obtained regularization and the Birkhoff-type solutions for differential operators with distribution coefficients. Our results have applications to the theory of inverse spectral problems as well as a separate significance.
