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.

The Resolvent Operator

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.

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].

Two Parameter

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.

Unusual Type

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

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.

We consider the half linear Sturm-Liouville problemon the interval [0,1] subject to separated boundary conditions (which may be eigenparameter dependent at x = 1) and use Prüfer techniques to produce an oscillation theory for this problem. Both right definite (r > 0) and left definite (r of both signs) cases are discussed.

SynopsisThis note gives a simple proof of uniqueness for positive solutions of certain non-linear boundary value problems on ℝ+ which are typified by the equationwith boundary conditions u′(0) = u(+∞) = 0. In the autonomous case (r ≡ 1), this is easy to see, by quadrature. The proof here supposes r to be non-increasing on ℝ+.

Indefinite Problems

We study the spectrum of regular and singular Sturm–Liouville problems with real-valued coefficients and a weight function that changes sign. The self-adjoint boundary conditions may be regular or singular, separated or coupled. Sufficient conditions are found for (i) the spectrum to be real and unbounded below as well as above and (ii) the essential spectrum to be empty. Also found is an upper bound for the number of non-real eigenvalues. These results are achieved by studying the interplay between the indefinite problems (with weight function which changes sign) and the corresponding definite problems. Our approach relies heavily on operator theory of Krein space.
