By the method of similar operators, the spectral properties of a fourth order differential operator are studied under periodic or semiperiodic boundary conditions. The spectrum asymptotics is obtained, together with some estimates for the spectral resolution for the operator in question. Also, the operator semigroup is constructed whose generator is equal to minus the operator under study.2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary 34L20. Key words and phrases.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
