Synopsis

This paper is concerned with the L2 classification of ordinary symmetrical differential expressions defined on a half-line [0, ∞) and obtained from taking formal polynomials of symmetric differential expression. The work generalises results in this area previously obtained by Chaudhuri, Everitt, Giertz and the author.
