Abstract: For an arbitrary open, nonempty, bounded set , , and sufficiently smooth coefficients , we consider the closed, strictly positive, higher-order differential operator in defined on , associated with the differential expression (equations missing) and its Krein–von Neumann extension in . Denoting by , , the eigenvalue counting function corresponding to the strictly positive eigenvalues of , we derive the bound (equations missing)where (with ) is connected to the eigenfunction expansion of the self-adjoint operator in defined on , corresponding to . Here denotes the (Euclidean) volume of the unit ball in (equations missing). Our method of proof relies on variational considerations exploiting the fundamental link between the Krein–von Neumann extension and an underlying abstract buckling problem, and on the distorted Fourier transform defined in terms of the eigenfunction transform of in (equations missing) We also consider the analogous bound for the eigenvalue counting function for the Friedrichs extension in of (equations missing).
