Finiteness of lower spectra of a class of higher order elliptic operators

Walter Allegretto

Vol. 83 (1979), No. 2, 303–309
Abstract

Finiteness criteria are established for the lower spectrum of a class of higher order elliptic operators. The results are obtained by the introduction and consideration of a suitable second order operator. Examples are given to show that the method can yield optimal results.
