The present paper is concerned with developing the existence and asymptotic properties of the state density N(λ) associated with certain higher order random ordinary differential operators A of the form
where Ao has homogeneous and ergodic coefficients with respect to the σ-algebra generated by the Wiener process q(ω, x). The analysis uses the Weyl min-max principle to determine rough upper and lower bounds for N(λ).
