A trace formula for differential operators of arbitrary order

An operator H = H0 +V where H0 = i (N is arbitrary) and V is a differential operator of order N-1 with coefficients decaying sufficiently rapidly at infinity is considered in the space H2(R). The goal of the paper is to find an expression for the trace of the difference of the resolvents (H) -1 and (H0 - z) -1 in terms of the Wronskian of appropriate solutions to the differential equation Hu = zu. This also leads to a representation for the perturbation determinant of the pair H0H.
