Abstract: For integers $mgeq3$ and $1leqellleqm-1$, we study the eigenvalue problems $-u^{primeprime}(z)+[(-1{)}^{ell}(iz{)}^m-P(iz)]u(z)=lambdau(z)$ with the boundary conditions that $u(z)$ decays to zero as $z$ tends to infinity along the rays $argz=-fracpi2pmfrac(ell+1)pim+2$ in the complex plane, where $P$ is a polynomial of degree at most $m-1$. We provide asymptotic expansions of the eigenvalues $lambd{a}_n$. Then we show that if the eigenvalue problem is $mathcalPT$-symmetric, then the eigenvalues are all real and positive with at most finitely many exceptions. Moreover, we show that when $gcd(m,ell)=1$, the eigenvalue problem has infinitely many real eigenvalues if and only if its translation or itself is $mathcalPT$-symmetric. Also, we will prove some other interesting direct and inverse spectral results.
