SynopsisWe consider the Friedrichs extension A of a minimal Sturm-Liouville operator L0 and show that A admits a Schrödinger factorization, i.e. that one can find first order differential operators Bk with where the μk are suitable numbers which optimally chosen are just the lower eigenvalues of A (if any exist). With the help of this theorem we derive for the special case L0u = −u″ + q(x)u with q(x) → 0 (|x| → ∞) the inequalityσd(A) being the discrete spectrum of A. This inequality is seen to be sharp to some extent.

In this paper, we consider properties of the spectrum of a Sturm-Liouville<br />operator on time scales. We will prove that the regular symmetric<br />Sturm-Liouville operator is semi-bounded from below. We will also give some<br />conditions for the self-adjoint operator associated with the singular<br />Sturm-Liouville expression to have a discrete spectrum. Finally, we will<br />investigate the continuous spectrum of this operator.

In this paper, we seek to determine the greatest lower bound of the essential spectrum of self-adjoint singular differential operators of the form1where 0 ≦ x < ∞. In the event that this bound is + ∞, our results will yield criteria for the discreteness of the spectrum of (1).Such bounds have been established by Friedrichs (3) for Sturm-Liouville operators of the formand our techniques will be closely related to those of (3). However, instead of studying the solutions of2directly, we shall exploit the intimate connection between the infimum of the essential spectrum of (1) and the oscillation properties of (2).

We derive Povzner–Wienholtz-type self-adjointness results for m × m matrix-valued Sturm–Liouville operators in L2((a, b);R dx)m, m ∈ N, for (a, b) a half-line or R.

In this work, we studied the Green&rsquo;s functions of the second order differential operators with involution. Uniform equiconvergence of spectral expansions related to the second-order differential operators with involution is obtained. Basicity of eigenfunctions of the second-order differential operator operator with complex-valued coefficient is established.

Abstract We study inverse nodal problems for Sturm–Liouville operator perturbed by a Volterra integral operator with a constant delay. We have estimated nodal points and nodal lengths for this operator. Moreover, by using these data, we have shown that the potential function of this operator can be established uniquely.

Abstract In this study we are concerned with spectrum of boundary value problems with retarded argument with discontinuous weight function, two supplementary transmission conditions at the point of discontinuity, spectral and physical parameters in the boundary condition and we obtain bounds for the distance between eigenvalues. We extend and generalize some approaches and results of the classical regular and discontinuous Sturm-Liouville problems. In the special case that ω (x) ≡ 1, the transmission coefficients γ1 = δ1, γ2 = δ2 and retarded argument Δ ≡ 0 in the results obtained in this work coincide with corresponding results in the classical Sturm-Liouville operator.

In [5] Kalf obtained a characterization of the Friedrichs extension TF of a general semi-bounded Sturm–Liouville operator T, the only assumptions made on the coefficients being those necessary for T to be defined. The domain D(TF) of TF was described in terms of ‘weighted’ Dirichiet integrals involving the principal and non-principal solutions of an associated non-oscillatory Sturm–Liouville equation. Conditions which ensure that members of D(TF) have a finite Dirichlet integral were subsequently given by Rosenberger in [7].

In the present paper, a discontinuous boundary-value problem with retarded argument at the two points of discontinuities is investigated. We obtained asymptotic formulas for the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions. This is the first work containing two discontinuities points in the theory of differential equations with retarded argument. In that special case the transmission coefficients and retarded argument in the results obtained in this work coincide with corresponding results in the classical Sturm-Liouville operator.
