SynopsisAsymptotic formulae for the positive eigenvalues of a limit-circle eigenvalue problem for –y” + qy = λy on the finite interval (0, b] are obtained for potentials q which are limit circle and non-oscillatory at x = 0, under the assumption xq(x)∈L1(0,6). Potentials of the form q(x) = C/xk, 0<fc<2, are included. In the case where k = 1, an independent check based on the limit-circle theory of Fulton and an asymptotic expansion of the confluent hypergeometric function, M(a, b; z), verifies the main result.

In this paper we consider the inverse spectral problem on the interval [0,1]. This determines the three-dimensional Schrödinger equation with from singular symmetric potential. We show that the two spectrums uniquely identify the potential function q(r) in a single Sturm-Liouville equation, and we obtain new evidence for the difference in the q(r)-q(r)of the Hochstadt theorem.

AbstractThe nonlinear eigenvalue problemfor 0 ≤ x < ∞, fixed p ∈ (1, ∞), and with y′(0)/y(0) specified, is studied under conditions on q related to those of Brinck and Molanov. Topics include Sturmian results, connections between problems on finite intervals and the half-line, and variational principles.

SynopsisThe main result of this paper is to establish the completeness of the eigenfunctions for the multiparameter eigenvalue problem defined by the system of ordinary differential equations0 ≤ x, ≤ 1, r = 1, …, k, subject to the Sturm-Liouville boundary conditionsr = 1, …, k. In addition it is assumed that the coefficients ars of the spectral parameters λs, satisfy the ellipticity condition , s = 1, …, k, for all xrɛ[0, 1], r = 1, …, k, and some real k-tuple μ1, …, μk and where is the co-factor of asr in the determinant . The theory developed here contrasts with the results known when …k is assumed non-vanishing for all xrɛ[0,1].

In the following I discuss the properties, in particular the completeness of the set of eigenfunctions, of an eigenvalue problem which differs from the well-known Sturm-Liouville problem by the boundary condition being of a rather unusual type.The problem arises in the theory of nuclear collisions, and for our present purpose we take it in the simplified formwhere 0 ≤ x ≤ 1. V(x) is a given real function, which we assume to be integrable and to remain between the bounds ± M, and W is an eigenvalue. The eigenfunction ψ(x) is subject to the boundary conditionsand
