Abstract: A complete analysis of the essential spectrum of matrix-differential operators $mathcalA$ of the form �egin{align} �egin{pmatrix} -displaystyle{frac{ m d}{ m d t}} p displaystyle{frac{ m d}{ m d t}} + q & -displaystyle{frac{ m d}{ m d t}} b^* ! + c^* \[2mm] hspace{6mm} b displaystyle{frac{ m d}{ m d t}} + c & hspace{4mm} D end{pmatrix} quad ext{in } L^2((alpha, �eta)) oplus �igl(L^2((alpha, �eta))�igr)^n label{mo} end{align} singular at $$ is given; the coefficient functions $p$, $q$ are scalar real-valued with $p>0$, $b$, $c$ are vector-valued, and $D$ is Hermitian matrix-valued. The so-called "singular part of the essential spectrum" $sigm{a}_{mess}^{m,s}(mathcalA)$ is investigated systematically. Our main results include an explicit description of $sigm{a}_{mess}^{m,s}(mathcalA)$, criteria for its absence and presence; an analysis of its topological structure and of the essential spectral radius. Our key tools are: the asymptotics of the leading coefficient $pi(cdot,lambda)=p-b^{\ast }(D-lambda{)}^{-1}b$ of the first Schur complement of $mathcalA$, a scalar differential operator but non-linear in $lambda$; the Nevanlinna behaviour in $lambda$ of certain limits $$ of functions formed out of the coefficients in $mathcalA$. The efficacy of our results is demonstrated by several applications; in particular, we prove a conjecture on the essential spectrum of some symmetric stellar equilibrium models.
