The objective of this paper is to extend the recent results [7, 8, 9] concerning the self-adjointness of Schrödinger-type operators with singular potentials to a more general setting. We shall be concerned here with formally symmetric elliptic differential expressions of the form 1.1 where x = (x 1, ..., xm) ∈ R m (and m ≧ 1), i = (–1)1/2, ∂ j = ∂/∂x j, and the coefficients a jk , b j and q are real-valued and measurable on R m.The basic problem that we consider is that of deciding whether or not the formal operator defined by (1.1) determines a unique self-adjoint operator in the space L 2(R m ) of (equivalence classes of) square integrable complex-valued functions on R m .
