Abstract—Studying spectral properties of operator polynomials is reduced to studying the corresponding spectral properties of operators defined by operator matrices. The results are used to investigate second-order differential operators by associating them with the corresponding first-order differential operators and using their properties related to invertibility. DOI: 10.1134/S0001434620090205 Keywords: bounded linear operator, differential operator, invertibility states, spectrum, Fredholm operator, projection operator.

1. MAIN RESULTS Let X and Y be complex Banach spaces, and let Hom(X , Y ) be the Banach space of bounded linear operators (homomorphisms) defined on X and ranging in Y . End X = Hom(X , X ) is the Banach algebra of endomorphisms of the space X . Let A : D(A) ⊂ X → X be a linear operator with nonempty resolvent set ρ(A). A linear operator A : D(A ) = D(AN ) ⊂ X → X of the form A = B0 AN + B1 AN −1 + · · · + BN , where B0 , B1 , B2 , . . . , BN −1 , BN , N ∈ N, belong to the algebra End X , is called an operator polynomial (of order N with operator coefficients B0 , B1 , . . . , BN expanded in a power series in the operator A). For a bounded operator A ∈ End X , operator polynomials were considered in [1]–[3], where they were applied to study difference operators. Invertibility problems for second-order operator polynomials with an unbounded operator A were considered in [4] (mainly for second-order differential operators acting on a space of functions defined on the whole real axis). Estimates for bounded solutions of higher-order differential equations were obtained in [5]. In this paper, we consider second-degree operator polynomials A = B0 A2 + B1 A + B2 : D(A2 ) ⊂ X → X

with domain D(A ) = D(A2 ) = {x ∈ D(A) : Ax ∈ D(A)}, where Bk ∈ End X , k = 0, 1, 2, and the operator B0 is not required to be invertible. Along with the operator A , we define an operator A : D(A) ⊂ X × X → X × X , by using the operator matrix

namely, A(x1 , x2 ) = (Ax1 − x2 , B2 x1 + B0 Ax2 + B1 x2 ),

(x1 , x2 ) ∈ D(A) = D(A) × D(A).

The operator A can be written as A = B0 A0 + B1 , where the operators B0 and B1 belong to the Banach algebra End(X × X ), A0 : D(A) × D(A) ⊂ X × X → X × X , and these operators are defined by the matrices       I 0 A 0 0 −I , B1 ∼ , A0 ∼ .

We consider the following conditions: (1) the kernel Ker B = {y ∈ D(B) : By = 0} of the operator B is the zero subspace of Y (the operator B is injective); (2) the dimension dim Ker B = n of the kernel Ker B of the operator B is positive and finite; (3) Ker B is an infinite-dimensional
