The spectra of general differential operators in the direct sum spaces
In this paper, the general ordinary quasi-differential expression of -th order with complex coefficients and its formal adjoint on any finite number of intervals , , are considered in the setting of the direct sums of -spaces of functions defined on each of the separate intervals, and a number of results concerning the location of the point spectra and the regularity fields of general differential operators generated by such expressions are obtained. Some of these are extensions or generalizations...
