SynopsisThis paper is the first part in a four-part series which develops the spectral theory for a two-point differential operator L in L2[0, 1] determined by a second order formal differential operator l = −D2 + pD + q and by independent boundary values B1, B2. The differential operator L is classified as belonging to one of five cases, Cases 1–5, according to conditions satisfied by the coefficients of B1, B2. For Cases 1–4 it is shown that if λ = ρ2 is any eigenvalue of L with ∣ρ∣ sufficiently large, then ρ lies in the interior of a horizontal strip (Cases 1–3) or the interior of a logarithmic strip (Case 4), and in each of these cases the generalised eigenfunctions of L are complete in L2[0, 1].

Abstract In this paper, the problem of periodic solutions is studied for second order differential equations with indefinite singularities $$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle x''(t)+ f(x(t))x'(t)+\varphi(t)x^m(t)-\frac{\alpha(t)}{x^\mu(t)}+\frac{\beta(t)}{x^y (t)}=0, \end{array}$$ where f ∈ C((0, +∞), ℝ) may have a singularity at the origin, the signs of φ and α are allowed to change, m is a non-negative constant, μ and y are positive constants. The approach is based on a continuation theorem of Manásevich and Mawhin with techniques of a priori estimates.
