Spectral properties of a fourth-order differential operator with integrable coefficients

The aim of this paper is to study spectral properties of differential operators with integrable coefficients and a constant weight function. We analyze the asymptotic behavior of solutions to a differential equation with integrable coefficients for large values of the spectral parameter. To find the asymptotic behavior of solutions, we reduce the differential equation to a Volterra integral equation. We also obtain asymptotic formulas for the eigenvalues of some boundary value problems related to the differential operator under consideration.
