We consider a certain class of Herglotz-Nevanlinna matrix-valued functions which can be realized as the Weyl-Titchmarsh matrix-valued function of some symmetric operator and its self-adjoint extension. New properties of Weyl -Titchmarsh matrixvalued functions as well as a new version of the functional model in such realizations are presented. In the case of periodic Herglotz-Nevanlinna matrix-v...

We study algebraic and analytic aspects of self-adjoint operators of order four or higher with polynomial coefficients. As a consequence, a systematic way of constructing such operators is given. The procedure is applied to obtain many examples up to order 8; similar examples can be constructed for all even order operators. In particular, a complete classification of all order 4 operators is gi...

We introduce the notion of formally self-adjoint conformally covariant polydifferential operators and give some constructions families such operators. In one direction, we show that any homogeneous variational scalar Riemannian invariant (CVI) induces these another use ambient metric to alternative certain produced this way, which is a self-adjoint, fourth-order, tridifferential operator should...
