✦ Synopsis
We initiate a systematic study of natural differential operators in Riemannian geometry whose leading symbols are not of Laplace type. In particular, we define a discrete leading symbol for such operators which may be computed pointwise, or from spectral asymptotics. We indicate how this can be applied to the computation of another kind of spectral asymptotics, namely asymptotic expansions of fundamental solutions, and to the computation of conformally covariant operators.

In this work we consider the eigenfunction V , t satisfying a condition at Ž . infinity of a singular second order differential operator on 0, qϱ . We give an < < asymptotic expansion of this solution with respect to the variable as ª qϱ, which permits us to establish a generalized Schlafli integral
