%0 Journal Article %T Degenerate Anisotropic Differential Operators and Applications %A Agarwal Ravi %A O'Regan Donal %A Shakhmurov Veli %J Boundary Value Problems %D 2011 %I Springer %X The boundary value problems for degenerate anisotropic differential operator equations with variable coefficients are studied. Several conditions for the separability and Fredholmness in Banach-valued spaces are given. Sharp estimates for resolvent, discreetness of spectrum, and completeness of root elements of the corresponding differential operators are obtained. In the last section, some applications of the main results are given. %U http://www.boundaryvalueproblems.com/content/2011/268032
