Abstract

In this paper we develop a general method for investigating the spectral asymptotics for various differential and pseudo-differential operators and their boundary value problems, and consider many of the problems posed when this method is applied to mathematical physics and mechanics. Among these problems are the Schrödinger operator with growing, decreasing and degenerating potential, the Dirac operator with decreasing potential, the ‘quasi-classical’ spectral asymptotics for Schrödinger and Dirac operators, the linearized Navier-Stokes equation, the Maxwell system, the system of reactor kinetics, the eigenfrequency problems of shell theory, and so on. The method allows us to compute the principal term of the spectral asymptotics (and, in the case of Douglis-Nirenberg elliptic operators, also their following terms) with the remainder estimate close to that for the sharp remainder.
