    Relying on the known two-term quasiclassical asymptotic formula for the trace of the function \(f(A)\) of a Wiener-Hopf type operator \(A\) in dimension one, in 1982 H. Widom conjectured a multi-dimensional generalization of that formula for a pseudo-differential operator \(A\) with a symbol \(a(\mathbf{x}, \boldsymbol{\xi})\) having jump discontinuities in both variables. In 1990 he proved the conjecture for the special case when the jump in any of the two variables occurs on a hyperplane. The present paper provides a proof of Widom's Conjecture under the assumption that the symbol has jumps in both variables on arbitrary smooth bounded surfaces.
