Asymptotics of the integrated density of states for periodic elliptic pseudo-differential operators in dimension one (Q854545)

The author studies the spectral properties of the operator in \(L^2(\mathbb R)\) \[ H=H_0+B, \] where \(H_0\) is the pseudodifferential operator with symbol \(|\eta|^m\), \(m>0\), and the operator \(B\) is a symmetric pseudodifferential operator of order \(m'<m\) with a symbol \(b(x,\eta)\) which is \(2\pi\)-periodic in \(x\). A complete asymptotic expansion is given for the density of the states \(D(\lambda)\). A few first terms of this expansion are found in explicit form. For a related contribution, see \textit{D. Schenk} and \textit{M. A. Shubin} [Math. USSR, Sb. 56, 473--490 (1987); translation from Mat. Sb., N. Ser. 128(170), No. 4(12), 474--491 (1985; Zbl 0604.34015)]. The results of the author represents a good tool for the study of density of states \(D(\lambda)\) for the multidimensional Schrödinger operator.
