In this work we obtain the regularized trace formula for an evenorder differential operator with unbounded operator coefficient. 1. Introduction The first work about the theory of regularized traces of differential operators belongs to Gelfand and Levitan [1]. They considered the Sturm-Liouville operator −y 00 + [q(x) − λ]y = 0, with boundary conditions y 0 (0) = y 0 (π) = 0, Rπ where q(x) ∈ C 1 [0, π]. Under the condition 0 q(x)dx = 0 they obtained the formula ∞ X 1 (µn − λn ) = (q(0) + q(π)). 4 n=0 Gul [2] obtained the formula nm X 1 (λk − µk ) = [tr Q(π) − tr Q(0)] lim m→∞ 4 k=1 for the regularized trace of the second order differential operator l[y] = −y 00 (x) + Ay(x) + Q(x)y(x) with unbounded operator coefficient and with the boundary conditions y(0) = y 0 (π) = 0. Here λk and µk are the eigen-elements of the operators l0 [y] = −y 00 (x) + Ay(x) l[y] = −y 00 (x) + Ay(x) + Q(x)y(x) with the same boundary conditions y(0) = y 0 (π) = 0 respectively. Adıgüzelov and Sezer [3] obtained a regularized trace formula for a self-adjoint differential operator of higher order with unbounded operator coefficient.

BAYRAMOV, K. ORUÇOĞLU EJDE-2016/31 [4, 5, 6, 7, 8] are devoted to study of regularized trace formulas of differential operators with bounded operator coefficient. Bayramov et al [9] obtained the second regularized trace formula for the differential operator equation with the semi-periodic boundary conditions. Makin [10] established a formula for the first regularized trace of the Sturm-Liouville equation with a complex-valued potential and with irregular boundary conditions. Let H be a separable Hilbert space and let H1 = L2 (H; [0, π]) denote the set of all strongly measurable functions f with values in H and such that Z π kf (t)k2H dt < ∞. 0 and the scalar function (f (t), g) is Lebesgue measurable for every g ∈ H in the interval [0, π]. Here (·, ·) denotes the inner product in H and k · k denotes the norm in H. If the inner product of two arbitrary elements f and g of the space H1 is defined by Z π (f, g)H1 = (f (t), g(t))H dt, f, g ∈ H1 0 then H1 becomes a separable Hilbert space [11]. σ∞ (H) denotes the set of all compact operators from H into H. If A ∈ σ∞ (H), then AA∗ is a nonnegative selfadjoint operator and (A∗ A)1/2 ∈ σ∞ (H). Let the non-zero eigen-elements of the operator (A∗ A)1/2 be s1 ≥ s2 ≥ · · · ≥ sq (0 ≤ q ≤ ∞). Here, each eigen-element is counted according to its own multiplicity. The numbers s1 , s2 , . . . , sq are called s-numbers of the the operator A. σ1 (H) is the set of allPthe operators A ∈ σ∞ (H) ∞ such that the s-numbers of which satisfy the condition q=1 sq < ∞. An operator is called a trace class operator if it belongs to σ1 (H). Let us consider the operators l0 and l in H1 defined by l0 [u] = (−1)m u(2m) (t) + Au(t), m (2m) l[u] = (−1) u (t) + Au(t) + Q(t)u(t) (1.1) (1.2) with the same boundary conditions y (2i−2) (0) = y (2i−1) (π) = 0 (i = 1, 2, . . . , m) respectively. Here A : Ω(A) → H is a densely defined self-adjoint operator in H with A = A∗ ≥ E where E : H → H is identity operator and A−1 ∈ σ∞ (H). We also should note that our problem’s boundary conditions are different from the considered problem’s boundary conditions in [3] which arise new difficulties. Let η1 ≤ η2 ≤ · · · ≤ ηn ≤ . . . be the eigen-elements of the operator A and ϕ1 , ϕ2 , . . . , ϕn , . . . be the orthonormal eigenvectors corresponding to these eigenelements. Here, each eigenvalue is counted according to its own multiplicity number. Let Ω(L00 ) denote the set of the functions u(t) of the space H1 satisfying the following conditions: (a) u(t) has continuous derivative of the 2m order with respect to the norm in the space H in the interval [0, π]; (b) u(t) ∈ Ω(A) for every t ∈ [0, π] and Au(t) is continuous with respect to the norm in the space H. (c) y (2i−2) (0) = y (2i−1) (π) = 0 (i = 1, 2, . . . , m). Here Ω(L00 ) = H1 . Let us consider the linear operator L00 u = l0 u from D(L0 ) to H1 . L00 is a symmetric operator. The eigen-elements of L00 are ( 12 + k)2m + ηj EJDE-2016/31 TRACE FORMULA FOR AN EVEN-ORDER DIFFERENTIAL OPERATOR 3 (k = 0, 1, 2, . . . ; j = 1, 2, . . . ). and the orthonormal eigenvectors corresponding to these eigen-elements are r 2 1 sin ( + k)t ϕj (k = 0, 1, 2, . . . ; j = 1, 2, . . . ). π 2 2. Some relations about the eigen-elements and resolvents Let the eigenvalues of the operators L0 and L be µ1 ≤ µ2 ≤ · · · ≤ µn ≤ . . . and λ1 ≤ λ2 ≤ · · · ≤ λn ≤ . . . respectively. Let N (µ) be the number of eigen-elements of operator L0 which is not greater than a positive number µ. If ηj ∼ aj α as j → ∞ 2m (a > 0, α > 2m−1 ) that is, if ηj =1 lim j→∞ aj α then using the same method in [12] it can be found that N (µ) ∼ dµ Z π/2 1 2 2 d= (sin τ ) α −1 (cos τ )1+ m dτ 1/a αa 0 2m+α 2mα , where and hence 2mα µn ∼ d0 n 2m+α 2mα as j → ∞ (d0 = d 2m+α ). (2.1) Let Q(t) be an operator function satisfying the following conditions: (1) Q(t) : H → H is a self-adjoint operator for every t ∈ [0, π]; (2) Q(t) is weakly measurable in the interval [0, π]; (3) The norm function kQ(t)k is bounded in the interval [0, π]; (4) Q(t) has weak derivative of the second order in the interval [0, π]; (5) The function (Q0 (t)f, g) is continuous for every f, g ∈ H; (6) Q(i) (t) : H → H (i = 0, 1, 2) are self-adjoint trace class operators and the functions kQ(i) (t)kσ1 (H) (i = 0, 1, 2) are bounded and measurable in the interval [0, π]. Since Q is a self-adjoint operator from H1 to H1 for every y ∈ H1 we have |(Qy, y)H1 | ≤ kQykH1 kykH1 ≤ kQkH1 kyk2H1 or (−kQky, y)H1 ≤ (Qy, y)H1 ≤ (kQky, y)H1 . This means that −kQkH1 E ≤ Q ≤ kQkH1 E. And so L0 − kQkH1 E ≤ L = L0 + Q ≤ L0 + kQkH1 E. In this situation, it is well-known that (Smirnov, [13]) µn − kQkH1 ≤ λn ≤ µn + kQkH1 . According to this, we can write 1− λn kQkH1 kQkH1 ≤ ≤1+ . µn µn µn By applying limit to each side of this inequality and by considering the equality µn lim 2mα , n→∞ d n 2m+α 0 4 E. ŞEN, A. BAYRAMOV, K. ORUÇOĞLU EJDE-2016/31 we get limn→∞ λn /µn = 1. Thus we have λn lim n→∞ d0 n = lim 2mα 2m+α n→∞ λn λn µn µn = lim =1 lim 2mα 2mα n→∞ µn n→∞ d n 2m+α µn d0 n 2m+α 0 or as n → ∞, 2mα λn ∼ d0 n 2m+α . (2.2) By using the formula (2.1), it is easily seen that the sequence {µn } has a subsequence µn1 < µn2 < · · · < µnp < . . . such that 2mα 2mα 2mα q = np + 1, np + 2, . . . ; d0 = d 2m+α . (2.3) µq − µnp > d0 q 2m+α − np2m+α Let Rλ0 = (L0 − λE)−1 , Rλ = (L − λE)−1 be the resolvents of the operators L0 2m and L respectively. If α > 2m−1 then, by the formulas (2.1) and (2.2), Rλ0 and Rλ are trace class operators for λ 6= λq , µq (q = 1, 2, . . . ). In this situation tr(Rλ − Rλ0 ) = trRλ − trRλ0 = ∞ X ( q=1 1 1 − ), λq − λ µq − λ (2.4) see Cohberg and Krein [14]. Let |λ| = dp = 2−1 (µnp +1 + µnp ). It is easy to see that for large values of p the inequalities µnp < dp < µnp +1 and λnp < dp < λnp +1 are satisfied. The series P∞ P∞ λ λ q=1 λq −λ and q=1 µq −λ are uniform convergent on the circle |λ| = dp . Hence with the help of inequality (2.3), we obtain Z np X 1 (λq − µq ) = − λ tr(Rλ − Rλ0 )dλ, (2.5) 2πi |λ|=d p q=1 where i2 = −1. Lemma 2.1. If ηj ∼ aj α as j → ∞ (a > 0, α > (2δ+1) 2d−1 0 δnδ−1 p 2mα 2m+α (δ = 2m 2m−1 ) then kRλ0 kσ1 (H1 ) < − 1) on the circle |λ| = dp . 0 0 Proof. For λ ∈ / {µq }∞ q=1 , since Rλ is a normal operator we have kRλ kσ1 (H1 ) = P∞ 1 q=1 |µq −λ| [14]. On the circle |λ| = dp we have kRλ0 kσ1 (H1 ) ≤ ∞ X q=1 np ∞ X X 1 2 2 = + ||λ| − µq | q=1 µnp + µnp +1 − 2µq q=n +1 2µq − µnp − µnp +1 p np ≤ X 2 q=1 µnp +1 − µq where Dp = obtain ∞ X + q=np P∞ k=np +1 (µk (2.6) np X 2 2 = + 2Dp , 2µ − µ µ − µq q n n +1 p p +1 q=1 − µnp )−1 (p = 1, 2, . . . ).

(2.9) δnp1+δ With the help of (2.6), (2.7) and (2.9), it follows that on the circle |λ| = dp , kRλ0 kσ1 (H1 ) < 2d−1 0 (2δ + 1) . δnδ−1 p Lemma 2.2. If the operator function Q(t) satisfies the conditions (1)–(3), and 2m ηj ∼ aj α as j → ∞ (a > 0, α > 2m−1 ), then for |λ| = dp and large values of p, −δ kRλ kH1 < 4d−1 0 np . Proof. Since the s-numbers of the trace class operator Rλ are { λ11−λ , λ21−λ , . . . , 1 λq −λ , . . . }, it follows that kRλ kH1 = max{ 1 1 1 , ,..., , . . . }. λ1 − λ λ2 − λ λq − λ On the circle |λ| = dp , |λq | − |λ| = |λq | − 2−1 (µn + µn +1 ) = 2−1 µn + µn +1 − 2|λq |. p p p p (2.10) (2.11) Using the inequality q ≤ np and for the large values of p, since |λq | ≤ λnp , we have µnp + µnp +1 − 2|λq | ≥ µnp + µnp +1 − 2λnp = µnp +1 − µnp + 2(µnp − λnp ) (2.12) ≥ µnp +1 − µnp − 2|µnp − λnp |. Considering |µq − λq | ≤ kQkH1 (q = 1, 2, . . . ) by (2.12) we obtain µnp + µnp +1 − 2|λq | ≥ µnp +1 − µnp − 2kQkH1 (q ≤ np ). (2.13) With the help of inequality q ≥ np + 1 and for the large values of p, since |λq | = λq ≥ λnp +1 then 2|λq | − µnp − µnp +1 ≥ 2λnp +1 − µnp − µnp +1 = 2(λnp +1 − µnp +1 ) + µnp +1 − µnp ≥ µnp +1 − µnp − 2|λnp +1 − µnp +1 |. 6 E. ŞEN, A. BAYRAMOV, K. ORUÇOĞLU EJDE-2016/31 Using the above inequality, 2|λq | − µnp − µnp +1 ≥ µnp +1 − µnp − 2kQkH1 (q ≥ np + 1). (2.14) Taking into account that limp→∞ (µnp +1 − µnp ) = ∞ and by (2.11), (2.13) and (2.14), on the circle |λ| = dp we have |λq | − |λ| > 4−1 (µnp +1 − µnp ). (2.15) By (2.3) and (2.15) we obtain −1 |λq | − |λ| > 4−1 d0 ((np + 1)1+δ − n1+δ d0 (np + 1)δ . p )>4 From the above inequality and |λ| = dp for the sufficiently large values of p, we have |λq − λ| > 4−1 d0 nδp . −δ From (2.10) and the above inequality we have 4d−1 0 np . 3. Regularized trace formula We know from operator theory that for the resolvents of the operators L0 and L the following formula holds: Rλ = Rλ0 − Rλ QRλ0 (λ ∈ ρ(L0 ) ∩ ρ(L)). Using the above formula and (2.5), it can be easily shown that np s X X (λq − µq ) = Upj + Up(s) , q=1 (3.1) j=1 where Upj = (−1)j 2πij Up(s) = Z tr[(QRλ0 )j ]dλ (i2 = −1; j = 1, 2, . . . ), (3.2) λtr[Rλ (QRλ0 )s+1 ]dλ (i2 = −1).

(3.9) With the help of (3.8) and (3.9) we obtain Up3 = E1 + E2 with E1 = np np ∞ X X X (G(j, k, s) + 2G(j, k, s)), J=1 k=1 s=np +1 E2 = np ∞ X X ∞ X (G(j, k, s) + 2G(j, k, s)) J=1 k=np +1 s=np +1 and E1 = E11 + E11 , E2 = E21 + E21 , (3.10) with E11 = np np ∞ X X X G(j, k, s), J=1 k=1 s=np +1 E21 = np ∞ X X ∞ X G(j, k, s).
