AbstractFor a given Sturm-Liouville equation whose leading coefficient function changes sign, we establish inequalities among the eigenvalues for any coupled self-adjoint boundary condition and those for two corresponding separated self-adjoint boundary conditions. By a recent result of Binding and Volkmer, the eigenvalues (unbounded from both below and above) for a separated self-adjoint boundary condition can be numbered in terms of the Prüfer angle; and our inequalities can then be used to index the eigenvalues for any coupled self-adjoint boundary condition. Under this indexing scheme, we determine the discontinuities of each eigenvalue as a function on the space of such Sturm-Liouville problems, and its range as a function on the space of self-adjoint boundary conditions. We also relate this indexing scheme to the number of zeros of eigenfunctions. In addition, we characterize the discontinuities of each eigenvalue under a different indexing scheme.

Oscillation, comparison and asymptotic theory for the Sturm-Liouville problemwith 1/p, q, r ε L1 ([0, 1]), p, r > 0, are studied subject to eigenvalue-dependent boundary conditionsThis continues previous work on cases with (− 1)j δj ≦ 0 where δj = ajdj − bjcj. We now consider the remaining sign conditions for δj, exploiting the interplay between the graph of cot θ− (λ, 1), for a modified Prüfer angle θ−, and the eigencurves of a related two-parameter problem.

The Sturm-Liouville problem with various types of two-point boundary conditions is considered in this paper. In the first part of the paper, we investigate the Sturm-Liouville problem in three cases of nonlocal two-point boundary conditions. We prove general properties of the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues for such a problem in the complex case. In the second part, we investigate the case of real eigenvalues. It is analyzed how the spectrum of these problems depends on the boundary condition parameters. Qualitative behavior of all eigenvalues subject to the nonlocal boundary condition parameters is described.

AbstractIn this paper we consider singular Sturm–Liouville problems with eigenparameter dependent boundary conditions and two singular endpoints. The spectrum of such problems can be approximated by those of the inherited restriction operators constructed. Via the abstract operator theory, the strongly resolvent convergence and norm resolvent convergence of a sequence of operators are obtained and it follows that the spectral inclusion of spectrum holds. Moreover, spectral exactness of spectrum holds for two special cases.
