Abstract
In this paper, the general ordinary quasidifferential expression M of nth order, with complex coefficients, and its formal adjoint M− are considered. It is shown in the case of two singular endpomts and when all solutions of the equation and the adjoint equation are in (the limit-circle case) that all well-posed extensions of the minimal operator T0(M) have resolvents which are Hilbert Schmidt integral operators and consequently have a wholly discrete spectrum. This implies that all the regularly solvable operators have all of the standard essential spectra to be empty. These results extend those for the formally symmetric expression M studied in [1] and [14], and also extend those proved in [8] for one singular endpoint.
