Propagation of Singularities near the Boundary

In this chapter we perform the same task as in the previous chapter but near the smooth boundary. In section 3.1 we prove the basic theorem which is formulated in terms of auxiliary functions as was theorem 2.1.2. In section 3.2 we prove some statements s

Preface

The problem of spectral asymptotics, in particular the problem of the asymptotic distribution of eigenvalues, is one of the central problems in the spectral theory of partial differential operators; moreover, it is very important for the general theory of partial differential operators. I started working in this domain in 1979 after R. Seeley found a remainder estimate of the same order as the then hypothetical second term for the Laplacian in domains with boundary, and M. Shubin and B. M. Levitan suggested that I should try to prove Weyl's conjecture. During the past fifteen years I have not left the topic, although I had such intentions in 1985 when the methods I invented seemed to fai! to provide furt her progress and only a couple of not very exciting problems remained to be solved. However, at that time I made the step toward local semiclassical spectral asymptotics and rescaling, and new horizons opened. So I can say that this book is the result of fifteen years of work in the theory of spectral asymptotics. However, it would be more accurate to introduce it as the result of eight years of great effort, since during the
