Abstract:$(L^p,\,L^q)$-estimates and $\mathfrak S_p$-properties of powers of the resolvent in weighted $L^p$-spaces are studied for a certain selfadjoint realization of the formal differential expression $-\sum_{k,j}\partial_k a_{kj}\partial_j+V$. A theory of generalized eigenfunction expansions is developed, and the continuous spectrum is investigated.
