Synopsis

In this paper, an ordinary differential operator of 2nth order, with complex-valued coefficients, is considered. A necessary and sufficient condition for the complete continuity of the resolvent operator of the differential operator is obtained. This is an extension of earlier work by Lidskii dealing with a second-order differential operator with a complex-valued potential.
