Uniform estimates for the semi-periodic eigenvalues of the singular differential operators (Q4676975)

The paper is devoted to the eigenvalue problem \[ D^{2m}u(x)+V(x)u(x)=\lambda u(x),\quad x\in [0,1],\tag{1} \] where \(V\) is a 1-periodic complex-valued distribution from a certain Sobolev space. Anti-periodic boundary conditions are imposed, so that the whole problem is called semi-periodic. Equation (1) is considered in a Sobolev space of anti-periodic distributions. Under various assumptions regarding \(V\), the authors obtain asymptotic formulas for eigenvalues. This is done not only for a fixed \(V\), but for a certain neighbourhood of a given function \(V\).
