      Let \[ L= {dn\over dt^n}+ \sum^{n-1}_{j=0} p_j(t) {d^j\over dt^j}\tag{1} \] be a differential operator with \(p_j\in C^0([0, \infty))\) \((j=0, 1,\dots,n- 1)\), \(n\geq 2\). In accordance with \textit{L. D. Kudryavtsev} [Differ. Equations 29, No. 9, 1286-1301 (1993); translation from Differ. Uravn. 29, No. 9, 1486-1503 (1993; Zbl 0812.34021); Proc. Georgian Acad. Sci., Math. 1, No. 2, 207-220 (1993; Zbl 0788.34045)] we say that: (i) a function \(x(t)\) stabilizes itself to a function \(v(t)\) with the order \(m\) as \(t\to\infty\), if \(x\), \(v\in C^m([0, \infty))\) and \(\lim_{t\to\infty}(x(t)- v(t))^{(j)}= 0\), \(j=0, 1,\dots,m\); (ii) \(x(t)= \sum^n_{k=1} a_k(t) v_k(t)\) is the Lagrange expansion of \(x\in C^{n-1}([0, \infty))\) over the basis \(\{v_k\}^n_{k= 1}\) of the kernel of the operator \(L\) of the form (1) if \(a_k(t)\) \((k= 1,2,\dots,n)\) are the components of the solution to the system of algebraic equations \[ \sum^n_{k= 1} a_k(t) v^{(j)}_k(t)= x^{(j)}(t),\quad j= 0,1,\dots,n- 1. \] The function \(x(t)\) is called Lagrange stabilizing itself to \(v(t)= \sum^n_{k= 1}a_k v_k(t)\) if \(\lim_{t\to\infty} a_k(t)= a_k\), \(k= 1,2,\dots,n\). The author considers the following problem: On a given \(x\in C^{n-1}([0, \infty))\) a differential operator \(L\) of the form (1) is constructed such that \(x(t)\) stabilizes or Lagrange stabilizes itself to a certain function \(v\in\ker L\). Results are given without proofs.
