SynopsisWe consider the second order, linear differential equationin the case where, roughly, q ∊ L1 [0, ∞). We devise a representation for the spectral function, τ(t), associated with (*) which is valid for t sufficiently large. Our results are the best possible.

SynopsisIn an earlier paper [6] we showed that if q ϵ CN[0, ε) for some ε > 0, then the Titchmarsh–Weyl m(λ) function associated with the second order linear differential equationhas the asymptotic expansionas |A| →∞ in a sector of the form 0 < δ < arg λ < π – δ.We show that if the real valued function q admits the expansionin a neighbourhood of 0, then

SummaryThe differential equation considered iswhere all the a’s and b’s are real constants.The nature of the solution is investigated in the neighbourhood of the singular point and the conditions are found for logarithmic terms to be absent.The conditions for stability for large values of τ are determined; the system is stable ifare all positive for large values of τ.The form of the response is considered and its oscillatory (or non-oscillatory) nature investigated. The Sonin-Polya theorem is used to determine simple inequalities which must hold between the coefficients of the differential equation in any interval for the relative maxima of | x | to form an increasing or decreasing sequence in that interval.
