On spectral expansions of functions from \(H_ p^ \alpha\) for a differential operator with a singularity at the surface (Q1363954)

The author considers elliptic operators of the type \(A(x,D)=\sum_{|\alpha|\leq m}a_\alpha(x)D^\alpha\) in a domain \(G\subset\mathbb{R}^N\), \(N\geq 2\). For functions \(f\in\mathring H^\alpha_p(G)\) (the Nikol'skij class) he defines the Riesz means \(E^s_\lambda f(x)\) of the spectral expansion corresponding to \(\widehat A\), the selfadjoint extension of \(A\). Under several conditions on the coefficients \(a_\alpha\) and on \(m\), \(N\), \(p\) and \(s\), he shows that \(\lim_{\lambda\to\infty} E^s_\lambda f(x)= f(x)\).
