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 maximum and anti-maximum principles are extended to the case of eigenvalue Sturm–Liouville problemswith boundary conditions of Dirichlet type (if possible) on a bounded interval [a, b]. The function r is assumed to be continuous and > 0 on ]a, b[, but the function 1/r is not necessarily integrable on [a, b]. The conditions on the functions p, m and h depend on the integrability or nonintegrability of 1/r on [a, c] and/or [c, b], for some c ∈ ]a, b[. The weight function m is not necessarily of constant sign.

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].

We are interested in two parameter eigenvalue problems of the formsubject to Dirichlet boundary conditionsThe weight function 5 and the potential q will both be assumed to lie in L2[0,1]. The problem (1.1), (1.2) generates eigencurvesin the sense that for any fixed λ, ν(λ) is the nth eigenvalue ν, (according to oscillation indexing) of (1.1), (1.2). These curves are in fact analytic functions of λ and have been the object of considerable study in recent years. The survey paper [1] provides background in this area and itemises properties of eigencurves.

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

Sturm theory is extended to the equationfor 1/p, q, r∈L1 [0, 1] with p, r > 0, subject to boundary conditionsandOscillation and comparison results are given, and asymptotic estimates are developed. Interlacing of eigenvalues with those of a standard Sturm–Liouville problem where the boundary conditions are ajy(j) = cj(py′)(j), j=0, 1, forms a key tool.

Let S-L denote a singular Sturm-Liouville system on the half line with homogeneous boundary conditions, possessing a discrete negative and continuous positive spectrum. Let A be the S-L operator and Sα(f; x) the S-L eigenfunction expansion associated with the resolvent operator (z – A)–1, z complex. That is, Sα(f; x) denotes the resolvent summability means with weight function z(z – λ)–1 (or (1 + tλ)–1 where t = – 1/z).We first study the problem of determining when(1)where is the Green's function associated with a certain perturbation of our system.

Recently Howe [4] has considered the oscillation theory for the two-parameter eigenvalue problem1a1bsubjected to the boundary conditions2a2bwhere for i = 1, 2, — ∞<ai<bi<∞, and qi are real-valued, continuous functions in [ai, bi], pi is positive in [ai, biz], and pi(ai)=pi(bi). Furthermore, it is also assumed that (A1B2—A2B1)≠0 for all values of x1 and x2 in their respective intervals.
