Write $P=P_N+P_{N-1}+\cdots +P_0$ as a sum of homogeneous parts. The operator is elliptic whenContinuity on the unit sphere gives $c={\min }_{|\omega |=1}|P_N(\omega )|>0$. Uniformly in $\omega$,so for sufficiently large $t$, $|P(t\omega )|\ge (c/2)t^N$. Since $t^N\asymp ⟨t\omega {⟩}^N$ at large $t$,for sufficiently large $|\lambda |$.
