Johannesburg, March 2015. / The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the asymptotic distribution of
the eigenvalues of self-adjoint second order di erential operators. We rst analyse the problem
where the functions g and h are equal to zero. To improve on the terms of the
eigenvalue problem for g; h = 0, we consider the eigenvalue problem for general
functions g and h. Here we calculate explicitly the rst four terms of the eigenvalue
asymptotics problem.
