Abstract
This paper extends the results of the two previous papers in several directions. For one we allow slower decay of the coefficients, but higher order differentiability. For this an expansion for the diagonalizing transformations is derived. Secondly unbounded coefficients are permitted. This requires further transformations in order to achieve Levinson's form, but also a modification with the usual Mโmatrix approach. While the standard results carry over to weakly singular coefficients, very singular coefficients will generally lead to discrete spectra (ยฉ 2010 WILEYโVCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

## Abstract Differential operators of higher order with unbounded coefficients are analyzed with respect to deficiency index and spectra. The eigenvalues fall into clusters of distinct size and each cluster contributes separately to the deficiency index and spectra.
