Abstract:
A spectral problem of Dirichlet type
\begin{gather*}
\sum_\alpha D^\alpha a_\alpha D^\alpha u=\mu^{-1}pu,
\\
a_\alpha(x)\geqslant c_0>0, \qquad p(x)\in\mathbb R, \qquad
x\in\Omega\subset\mathbb R^m,
\end{gather*}
where $\Omega$ is a bounded set, is considered.
All the natural generalizations of the classical Weyl's spectral asymptotic
formula are described. The main property of these generalizations is as follows: the
leading term of the asymptotic formula is an additive function of the set $\Omega$.
